Frugal Friday Wrap Up 11/5-11/11 2016

   I apologize for the delay in posting...as you know, last week was a rough one for our family.  There is not a whole lot to write about last week and again, no pictures.  Hopefully I will have more pictures and savings this week.  

~The grandboys spent the night with us on Saturday.  I made homemade pizza dough, rolled it out into individual sized pizzas and par baked the crusts.  The boys each made their own pizza adding whatever toppings they wanted.  I made two others for Jeff and I.  I had 3 leftover crusts that I froze for later.  The leftover sauce will be used in another dish later in the week.  Our topping choices were pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, ham, green onions, mushrooms and diced tomatoes.  The little guys chose pepperoni and cheese.
~We watched the movie Planes Fire and Rescue that I bought from Redbox for a little over $3 and had popcorn.  Isaiah fell asleep part way through the movie and we let Bradley watch for another 20 minutes before we turned it off and got him to bed too.  We finished the movie the next morning.
~Monday we used part of another Walmart gift card to pick up some needed items at Walmart.  My prescription was also just $4 for a 1 month supply.  I know Walmart gets a bad rap at times, but they have saves us a ton of money in prescription costs alone.
~Tuesday I was having a horrible Fibromyalgia flare so I stayed home and did not work at MOPS.  No gas used in my car.
~My wonderful neighbor/hanai sister brought us over lasagna for dinner on Tuesday.
~Wednesday I found out I won tickets to see Olivia Newton John in concert this Sunday!  It was a wonderful surprise and my husband and I are both looking forward to it.  She is one of the artists that we have always wanted to see in concert and never thought we would get that chance.
~Wednesday night I cooked up several venison steaks that I had marinated overnight.  We had those both Wednesday and Thursday night for dinner.
~Jeff and I again enjoyed watching some TV shows online.
~We used the hot tub several times this week to ease my aching muscles.
~I cashed in for another $25 Walmart gift card via Swagbucks.
~More TV shows were watched online.
~With our funky warm weather, I was able to harvest more green onions from the garden.
