Happy Frugal Friday!
Here is how we saved money/spent money wisely/made extra money this week:
- Owen had his friend birthday party on Saturday. We had our best friends up from Charlestown and our homeschool group. We don't have "friend" parties until the kids are 5 and thanks to COVID this was Owen's first one. He chose a police theme with pizza and root beer floats.
- I used a giftcard from my Ibotta earnings to buy a photo booth, balloons, police decor, and little police car candy boxes. Owen wanted many theme items and it was great to get them free!
- We served Chicago's pizza and bought six pizzas too many (a large family cancelled after we had already ordered the pizza). We were able to send pizza and breadsticks home with each family. We also donated two pizzas and root beer to the weekend shift at the police department.
- Annabeth spent the week at her dance studio's Fliptastic Camp. She enjoyed 7 hours of fun there each day.
- Owen and I had the week together while Annabeth was at camp. We completed his mini 4H project for the fair, took walks, he rode his bike many hours, and we splurged on a $1 movie on Wednesday. I was looking to see if any theaters were doing the $5 kids movies and a Greenwood theater had a couple of days with slightly older movies at $1/person. He's only been to the theater 2 or 3 times so he really enjoyed that. We also grabbed Starbucks with a giftcard so free to us.
- We visited multiple parks, creeks, and walked the greenway this week. Working on our #1000hoursoutside challenge
- I sold last year's Science books on Facebook. Made: $15
- We got Annabeth's dance schedule for Nationals. Thankfully we were able to cancel three nights in the hotel and are saving $400+!
We had a great, busy week and even with all of the rain logged tons of hours outside!
Happy Savings to All!
