The Kashi cereals are $3.14 each. I used a 35% cartwheel on all 3, 3 $1 coupons, and got $2 back on Ibotta. The 10% extra off made these free!

A bit specific I know but it helped me out just a few days ago
Not sure about the bottom middle reindeer but the others look good!
Who wants to be a millionaire? Here’s one way to do it. The premise: a new Audi Q7 every 5 years during your working life (25 years) vs a 3 year old Toyota Prius every 5 years. You’d spend $34,413 more to buy the Audi every 5 years and spend $8,414 more on gas (assuming you drive 15,000 miles per year). If you instead bought the Prius and invested that savings in a standard index mutual fund returning 11%, you’d wind up with $1.4 million when you retire. This does not include maintenance of either vehicle. All by simply making a different car choice.
Lesson: stop acting rich and start getting rich.

Found a bag of Yugioh cards at the thrift for $1.99. Sifted through them and found some decent ones. There was at least 4 to 500 in there. The validity is in question but for the most part so far everything checks out. Very interesting #thriftstorehaul #thriftingfinds #thriftstorefinds #yugiohcards #yugioh #frugal

Thrifting Adventures Continue! Keep in mind I’m not wealthy by any means, I only grab what’s low and reasonable and flip what I don’t want and that funds my hunt sessions. #halomasterchiefcollection #theevilwithin #spacechannel5 #yugioh #ninjagaidensigma #fullauto2battlelines #animaniacs #pinkpanther #thrifting #thriftstorehaul #thriftingfinds #frugal #gamingonabudget #retrogames #retrogamecollector #videogamecollector #videogametrades #fleamarketfinds

Turning these plastic creamer bottles into pots for the seeds I’m going to start soon. They fit perfectly on my window sills which means I can put them in every window and not have to buy shelves.
I’m not going to put drainage holes in the bottom because I don’t want to deal with water damage from overflowing saucers. Instead I’m going to put an inch or two of gravel in the bottom, top it with cardboard or newspaper, and then add my soil.
