It's been a week since I posted the last one...right?

I'm afraid I haven't been very frugal this week. Got some things mildly on sale, but still too much, so I don't think they count and won't post them.

My wife just picked up an entire apartment's worth of antique dishes. We'll sort, check for lead, and probably give most of the safe ones away but save our favorites.

Manager's special meats! I absolutely love finding the nearly expired meat for extremely low prices because I'll generally cook it right away and have a great dinner

I switched my property insurance to the same company I have my other insurances aswell and not only was it cheaper but I also got -25% off due to having them all in the same company. All in all I managed to cut my insurance costs more than 30% in total.

The blade assembly on my Blendtec was crapping out, and since Blendtec designs their jars with planned obsolescence in mind, you can't even replace bearings on them.

So, my frugal find this week has been to get an "Alternajar". Cheaper than the Blendtec jars, sharp blade design instead of blunt blades (similar to Vitamix), replaceable blade assembly, and a new lid with a tamper.

Saved money, future-proofed the jar, and I get much better performance! A win in every direction!

Just googled it. That is one fancy blender!
