1. Going out of business sale! Our local Rite-aid stores are closing next week, so they had a 70% off sale on their entire inventory. (While I did have to wait in line for 45 minutes!!!!)

1. Made birthday "cake" at home My daughter had a birthday this past week and we decided to forego the traditional cake and made Carmelitas (think oatmeal cookies stuffed with caramel and chocolate) and brownies instead. **Considering she usually asks for a Great American Cookie cake, I count this as frugal:) 2. Birthday gifts I… Continue reading Five Frugal Things
