Here are some of my Frugal wins and Fails this month. My goal with this blog post series is to be transparent with you all about what I spend. I want to celebrate the wins and learn from my fails.
Frugal Wins
- I got a loaf of day old bread for free and turned it into a french toast casserole. I used a recipe from belleofthekitchen.com and it tasted delicious.
- I used a AMC Movie theater ticket voucher that I got for Christmas when I went to the movies. It’s helpful to use the gift cards that people give you.
- I air dried my clothes instead of using the dryer saving a 1.75 cents each time. During the school year I live in a on campus apartment where you need to pay to do laundry.
Frugal Fails
- I bought a Once Upon a Time Poster for 6.42. I went to a free event at my and they had a person selling posters at the event. I broke down and bought a poster because I love Once Upon a Time and I don’t see that many posters for the show.
- I went to Starbucks four times this month to get cake pops or a strawberry acai refresher. I usually try to avoid going to Starbucks because it can add up.
- I bought a 30 dollar Purple Tulip Squishmallow at a Hallmark store. I thought it was really cute and I love tulips so I bought it. But I don’t need more squishmallows because I already have a few.
Overall, I saw a slight increase in my spending because I kept treating myself. But I am not going to sweat too much over this.
Do you have any frugal wins or fails this month?
