#SOLD GIRL TOWN FOR FREE#
How you saved money while traveling was a really interesting read.ġ) Got a solid wood mirror for free off our Buy/ Nothing group. Looks like you had a fun time on your trip! Even your not so frugal things seem really frugal to me. Even with the leather closures I plan on purchasing, the skirt I will make will be hundreds less than an authentic tartan wool skirt that I could purchase. While fabric shopping in the city, I found some tartan wool at an amazing price.

Packed meals and snacks for the train ride so that I didn't have to purchase any food onboard.ĥ.

I brought home ground cherries, cherry tomatoes, bananas and plums.Ĥ. Her garden and produce swapping source are in abundance at the moment. I will be able to make so many fun things from it all, I'm sure.ģ.
#SOLD GIRL TOWN FULL#
I brought two full garbage bags home with me. She had taken what she wanted and I went through the rest. My sister, also a frugal person, had acquired four large bags of silk fabric scraps. So, I went on a 2-hour journey on the Hudson at n0 cost. My sister is a sailboat captain and had customers booked while I was there. While parts of the trip were a little indulgent and not so frugal, I managed to squeeze some stuff in:ġ. I was on the road too! Visiting my sister in NYC. ? What frugal things have you been up to this week? I don’t like the taste of alcohol, and besides, I want to go to sleep after a few sips, so I am extremely un-fun if I drink!īecause of this, I am inadvertently frugal at restaurants. That way, I could make sure to have food available without needing to stop in somewhere (and pay more!) on my trip.Īnd a bonus one: while I did have to eat all of my meals out, I drank water almost every time (I got a bottle of Coke once), and I did not drink any alcohol. So, before I left for my trip, I went to Trader Joe’s and bought some granola bars and trail mix packets to throw into my bag. But when I’m traveling, this can be an issue. This is not usually a problem because I am never far from my kitchen for super long periods of time. I am one of those people who doesn’t just feel hungry if I go for a while between meals I actually start to feel physically terrible. If there’s a giant inflatable flamingo somewhere, you kind of have to get your picture taken in it
#SOLD GIRL TOWN PLUS#
I split a hotel room with WhitneyĪlso, I love hanging out with Whitney, so sharing a room with her was like having a super delightful multi-day sleepover.Ĭheaper, plus way more fun? Such a win. If you have Erie, ask your agent about the app! 4. *Erie is my car insurance provider, and they have an app that gives you gift card rewards for safe driving. Heh.īut that’s ok I texted Lisey (a fellow cinnamon dolce lover) and she understood my joy. I shared my delight with the barista and she seemed extremely unimpressed with my joy. One morning, we hit up the Starbucks in our hotel, and I redeemed some of my Erie rewards for a Starbucks gift card.Īmazingly, they had a cinnamon dolce latte available every other time I have been traveling this year and have tried to get one, it’s been unavailable. I used some Erie Your Turn rewards* to buy a coffee (Whitney is the podcaster behind Money Nerds, and you can read all about her here.) 3. Since I thought 2.5 hours of quiet time at the airport sounded like not a terrible punishment (!), I waited for her to arrive and then we picked up an Uber together to the hotel.Īnd on the way back, we rode together again, although this time she had to wait an extra hour. Her plane got in last Wednesday about two and a half hours after mine. I split Uber rides with my friend Whitney FG and I will go to Panda on our date night this week. (Do I like 50% discounts? Yes, yes I do!)Īnd there’s also a $10/$10 Panda Express cashback offer in my Venmo app, so as long as this CVS one comes through without a problem, maybe Mr. So, I picked up a few things at CVS, using the $10 cashback offer.

I have never used Venmo in a store before, but they’ve sent me some in-store offers this week. So, my frugal five are probably not going to win the “Most Exciting and Creative” award this week.

This is going to be a challenge because in the week since the last Five Frugal Things post, I was out of town with my blogging mastermind group for four days.
