Thursday Thrifty Roundup

This week I…

  • Bought these groceries for $2.15 after coupon savings and redeeming rewards points for $20 off. I’ve talked to a few people recently who shop at Safeway but don’t use the app, so they don’t get coupon prices or rewards, and that is CRAZY. We regularly save about 1/3 the price of our groceries.
  • Took my kid to a free Tot Gym on Monday. We were out at a park and I noticed the attached community center had an open Tot Gym, which is where they put a bunch of toddler ride-on toys and other things in an empty gymnasium. We hadn’t gone to one for a while because B never really figured out the ride-on toys until he got too big for them, but it was a nice change of pace Monday and it used up our morning for free.
  • Took B to the Burke Museum Wednesday to spend a rainy day indoors. We have a membership, so it was free. Between the train each way and the museum we were gone all morning, and I packed food to bring with us so we didn’t have to buy any.
  • Food prepped. Nothing too exciting this week, and I didn’t take many pictures. Oatmeal, taco salad components (including a corn salsa I ended up hating but B seems to like) and a big batch of garlic kale. We buy frozen Field Roast burger patties in a big box from the Chef Store, and we ate burgers the last two nights. Kyle is cooking a bean and rice thing tonight that will give us a lot of leftovers, and tomorrow night I’m making some tofu and broccoli teriyaki, so we’ll have plenty of food for the weekend.
  • Changed my Spotify membership to the student plan, which takes the price down from something like $14 to something like $8. Hey, it’s something.
