Tuesday

Frugal today is logging in to Krogers Feedback, doing their survey and getting 50 points toward my fuel perks to get a discount on our gas.

Plan to mow my grass today, so frugal is doing it myself instead of hiring someone to do it.

Yesterday I talked to the lawn maintenance guy that works for the gas station next door to us.  He has friends and family who do different types of maintenance work.  We will hopefully soon be getting a large tree cut down in our back yard by contractors for AEP.  They will leave the trunk of the tree for us to get rid of.  I am guessing this will be way too heavy for dh and I to try to handle, so I talked to Lonnie who came over and looked at what needed to be done and he will do it for us.. not sure on the price yet but he is reasonable and a hard worker.

Yesterday dh switched to a different medicine, one that he will not have to go to his doctor's office every month to have blood draws done which means he won't have to take time off from work to go for, saving us money as he doesn't get paid for that time off and there have been times when he has actually lost overtime pay because of having to do that.  They also gave us 2 months worth of free samples to try.  We called our pharmacy from the doctor's office to compare prices on 3 different brands of this med. to get the cheapest and what our insurance will cover.  THANK YOU KROGERS! for taking the time to check on it.  The office manager went online to get the print off for side effects and found a coupon making the med $10 a month instead of the $25 our insurance coverage would have cost.  So no extra money for the med. for at least the first year.

That's about it so far today.
