What frugal thing did you do today?

I dont think my SO would have considered that a good birthday gift, as going to the game was for his 35th birthday! Plus, we dont pay for TV at all -- so a one time expense for us is better!

Stayed Home and worked in the Garden for a few hours, I didn't have to pay someone to do it for me!

The frugal thing that I did today? I paid $45.00 in groceries, but saved over $30. I am making homemade bread for the first time (actually my bread machine's doing all the work). I feel so frugal today!

My son got Confirmed at Church today, and they had a reception afterwards, so the five of us had lunch free. ($0)
Three of us are going to a cookout for new church members (we are new so were adamantly told not to bring anything).So, that's dinner for 3.($0)
My oldest son and I are going to a high school sports banquet ($7 veggie tray)
I took a nap, thus avoiding going to Kroger and overspending.

STaying home and cooking out on the grill tonight!

We made our own iced coffee cold brew instead of going out to the coffee shop and paying an arm and a leg for theirs, and later we will go and rent a movie/look at magazines at the library

PS...
Dog-sitted for free for my parents. Now, I know it didn't save us money, but we also got the satisfaction that it didn't cost THEM money to put him in a kennel.. and he was much happier with us... and..... we got exercise taking him out for his walks

I think all the restaurants we like are closed tonight. Looks like we eat cheap tonight!!

Turned the AC to a six degrees warmer setting while the rest of the family was to be gone 12 hours. I like it much warmer than they do.

I also brew my own coffee for iced coffee, but usually, i freeze the leftovers from my morning pot in glasses; then I can add coffee to them and have coffee flavored ice cubes already in place.....

Hanging laundry, not spending a dime, cooking at home.

I have raised the setting on the air conditioner. What do most of you keep the a/c setting on?

I picked up a huge used 3 piece leather sectional off ebay for $400.

I was about to buy a new simple loveseat for $500. Now I have double the couch plus extra crashing for friends (couch is a pullout).

I ate fudge at work today instead of lunch-not too healthy but free. I have another sports banquet with Thing 1 (my oldest son) tonight so the two of us will eat for free.

I ate leftovers

I went to the pet store with 2 of the dog food coupons I got from this site. I got two $10.00 bags of dog food for free!! $20 worth for nothing!! That will feed my dog for several months. I am very happy!!

Hit the bakery thrift shop. Found wheat bread 4/$1 and stocked up. Then I hit the grocery store to shop the loss leaders. All in all it took less than an hour total to buy enough to cover the entire big-sized countertop and spent just under $70.

I am staying with in laws in Florida for free!! WE do, however, go out and eat so they don't have to cook.

I took the bus into work today. I have a free bus pass. Usually though I am very happy to take my scooter to work, as it is great on gas mileage and freeway-capable. So I saved $2.00.

I read a book from the library today instead of doing something that could cost money.

I wash almost all our clothes in cold except for sheets and pillowcases. Because of allergies we have to wash them in hot.
