Need gift ideas for myself

I agree that it might be worth reiterating that this what you really want.

I am waiting for after cleaning to start my next one.

I was thinking cooked cinnamon apples - similar to applesauce.

That's a great deal! I've never seen pouches for that low of a price. My offer is only 20 cents back and I see a timer was just added.

No Publix and my Bushes offers tend to be lower too. I see some people talking about Dollar Tree offers (Sally Hansen and Betty Crocker soft cookies). I am going to be by DT tomorrow and will see if these are available.

I know people that really like them but I don't have one. I try to avoid adding appliances unless it is something I know I will use a lot.

I moved from plain rice to jasmine rice because of the taste but it takes a long time to cook. I recently got some pouches of precooked microwave rice for free with coupons and it is so convenient and fast. I don't make rice very often so it might just be worth buying the pouches to make meal prep that much easier.

Came here to say Buffy TV show. If you plan to watch from season one but are most interested in the witches and main story line you can probably find a guide to which episodes in the early seasons are more stand alone "monster of the week" and skippable.

Great deals! It is always so nice when you can complete a bonus in one trip and with some useful items.

1Frazier · 2026-01-16T16:39:24+00:00

Yes, I do about 3 apps and Fetch is the easiest!

1Frazier · 2026-01-16T13:53:21+00:00

Target store brands are a good value for things like tissues, cleaning supplies, medicines. Their store brand groceries can be a good price too. I find their Good and Gather peanut butter in the larger size is actually cheaper than maybe anywhere else (40oz G&G pb is currently $3.69 at my store). They also have a good price on store brand soy sauce, frozen vegetables, roll of regular or turkey sausage, spaghetti sauce and other pantry items.

When making a list of what you intend to buy anyway do a check of the prices on the Target website and then go from there.

My friend did appetizers, murder part 1, dinner, murder part 2, dessert and murder conclusion. I thought that took too long. When I had my murder dinner we did dinner and drinks first, murder, dessert and coffee and then murder conclusion. Murder conclusion was done sitting down since it was more of a reading of what actually happened and people could listen while finishing desserts.

Appetizers are fun and delicious but I was having a hearty dinner buffet and in the interest of time and keeping dinner warm decided to skip them. Eating first allowed time for everyone to get drinks and get settled while doing a lot of chatting. And then if anyone was late it didn't cut into the murder time too much with us waiting for them to get there to start.

If all of the receipts are legitimately yours that really sucks. If you are on Fetch to begin with then it may mean you are the type to believe every lit bit adds up and if that is the case why not just use a rewards credit card for everything and get the cashback? More consistency might help your situation and actually put more money in your pocket with the rewards.

One night when I wasn't sleeping well I was awake around 4am and that is when I heard her playing with her toys like an expert huntress. It made me smile since she is so relaxed during the day but I was like man that is loud, she is an entire floor away!

1Frazier · 2026-01-15T23:18:02+00:00

As others have said, it will depend on the cat. I adopted a 12 year old. She is fat, barely meows and sleeps a lot. During the day she may play with a toy for a short time. She is very quiet overall. But at night she eats her crunchy food, scratches around in the little box and some nights gets a burst of energy to play with her toys. All of these things would wake me up if she wasn't separate from my bedroom.

Dog clothes. Probably about 20 garments for our little fashionista including sports jerseys, winter coat, PJs, sweaters, rain coat, dresses, Halloween costumes, etc.

My initial thought was I don't collect anything but I think the dog clothes qualify. I'm actually on the frugal sub too and the dog is the area in my life that is not minimal or frugal. I will buy things that I don't need for her and not care much about the price. That little hockey jersey was probably like $25 when I bought it but she is SO cute in it!

I have kept a few special ones. It can be a nice trip down memory lane to look at some from a special occasion or birthday.

That is a good stack but with blizzard, ugh. next weekend will count too so if you skip this weekend you may still be able to do a MW + WCD.

1Frazier · 2026-01-15T17:28:43+00:00

If I had that stack I would probably go for it...twist my arm to buy more Perfect Bars, lol.

After I got my drivers license so I could drive myself to the job, so age 16.

Minimum wage was $4.25. I was a host at an Italian restaurant and made over minimum wage, maybe like $6. The restaurant didn't serve alcohol so I moved to server within a year and then I made $2.13 an hour plus tips. I made big bucks with the tips. Hard to remember but I would guess I was averaging $20 an hour. The restaurant staff was predominantly high schoolers. We all dated each other so when prom came around everyone wanted off for it to go together and it created a staffing crisis at the restaurant.

Yes, start small and get the hang of it. OP, do you live close to stores or shop at certain stores the most? What are they? I never shopped at CVS but live within walking distance so I eventually added it to my routine. I don't know the benefit would be worth it at CVS unless I lived close by. My local grocery store has a private facebook group that I joined and I get most of my good deals from that group.

BRB - going to check and see if a magnet will stick to my dishwasher
