Frugal Confessions Friday: Frugal Living

Posted on | July 23, 2010 | 1 Comment

Hello Frugal Confessions Readers!

For those of you new to this series, check out the introduction here.

Here is my confession of the week:

I have a confession to make before my frugal confession. Paul and I watch the Twilight movies! Not so much because we think they are good, but because we think they are bad, and thus find them quite amusing:) (my apologies to any Twilight fans out there). So, I took my husband out for a movie date this weekend to go see Eclipse. Total cost: $20.

Onto the frugal part of this confession…when I opened up the Sunday paper two weeks ago, I found that if you purchase 3 Kotex Feminine products for $10 from Walgreens, you got a free movie ticket. What a great deal–tickets cost us $9.50 anyway, so why not get three months’ worth of product out of it also? I also donate to a Women’s Domestic Abuse Shelter; seeing how I now have six boxes of feminine products, I can certainly add most of them to my donation stash.

What is your frugal confession of the week? I’d love to hear it!

    I used $20 of our Discover Card cash back to buy a certificate for two AMC movie tickets (any day, any time) and two small popcorns.

    We used this as a birthday gift for my mother-in-law since my in-laws love the local AMC and that would normally cost at least $25 (I’m guessing small popcorns run about $3 each). We also got a gift card for a yummy restauraunt nearby so they could do a dinner-and-a-movie night whenever the mood strikes. :-)
