Five Frugal Things | a selfie edition

I didn’t realize until finally I set this put up with each other that it was gonna have so a lot of pictures of me. So, it’s the Inadvertent Selfie Edition.

1. I bought an additional $10 symphony ticket

Past Friday, I ducked out to the college parking lot on lunch crack and bought a pupil ticket over the cellphone ($10 for a $77 ticket!). And that night time I went to the symphony.

I’d been wearing my student scrubs all week, so it was great to use anything else for a modify. I wore my black $25 Goal costume yet again, since I have determined no a person at the symphony cares if I repeat outfits.

I met a new retired pal, and I also observed my good friend Patty, whom I fulfilled at last month’s concert.

2. I bought a PILE of clothing for $30

I believe we have talked right here right before about how skinny denims are going a bit out of fashion this is handy for me mainly because most of my skinny jeans are sprouting holes or losing their elastic stretch.

Sooo, as I swap them, I’m making an attempt to update the variations I acquire.

Anyway, I noticed that I had some Previous Navy credit rating in my account, so I popped in there and invested some time trying on denims.

Honestly, it is a bewildering time to get denims for the reason that it looks like quite a few models are all offered suitable now I saw Boyfriend, Flare, Skinny, and Straight styles.

I’m getting employed to the looser jeans, but one particular challenge I’m operating into is that my shirts are kind of completely wrong for the looser pants I think a slimmer, shorter shirt goes with the looser denims, so I acquired some of these.

In any case, because I had the credit rating in my account and also a $40 offer for paying with my Hole credit history card, I acquired two pairs of jeans, a pair of shorts, and 4 shirts for a total of $30!

3. I acquired a shirt on clearance at Concentrate on

I picked up a extended-sleeved shirt that is short plenty of to search excellent with higher-waisted, non-skinny jeans, but not so short that it is a tummy shirt. Ideal!

Also, individuals are some of the jeans I obtained from Old Navy. I know you may be wondering, “Hmm, those people are nonetheless kind of skinny.”, so for comparison, here are my prior Previous Navy skinny jeans.

4. I utilised some absolutely free cream cheese to make a dip

I had an give for a no cost block of product cheese in my Safeway application, so I picked that up and used it to make a fruit dip.

You just mix up a softened block of cream cheese and a jar of marshmallow fluff not terribly wholesome, but it IS so delicious.

5. I obtained a Mezeh bowl for $2

It’s my birthday thirty day period, and as you all likely bear in mind, I generally expend this thirty day period dwelling substantial by redeeming all of my birthday freebies. 😉

I had a $10/any obtain give from Mezeh (like a Mediterranean edition of Chipotle), so I stopped in and received a falafel bowl for $2 after my low cost.

Your change! What frugal matters have you been up to these days?

P.S. At times I feel a minimal hesitant about submitting selfies because, I dunno, there is a little something that feels a little self-centered about it. But then I always remind myself that I enjoy to see the faces of bloggers or individuals I comply with on Instagram, and then I give myself a very little smack and notify myself to get about it and just article them. 😉
