We had dinner at Juniper 61 in 'Tosa last Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I'm trying to put a number on the various ways we saved money. Steve thought we should have stayed home and made Ramen noodles, but then I wouldn't be a Frugal Spendthrift!
We shared a goat tart and chicken paprikash: $24. The wine was $34.
On Wednesdays, they take off $10 for wine, and also have a punch card: 12 punches one free bottle, so maybe around $3 more off, so $13 saved on wine.
I get Delta and Southwest miles, so like 5 Delta and 10 Southwest miles (haven't seen them show up yet, so guessing).
Also they use the Small Shops card, so get 3% back. So another $1.50.
So, maybe saved around $15, just by doing nothing! :)
I need to up my game and check Groupons more and make sure I frequent Small shops businesses and ones that get the Art museum memberships.
OK, time to reboot the blog. I'm now coasting on my savings and working half-time. I'm half-tired! I've planned this for the last 4 years or so, and now am putting my plan into play. I did get to see the minimalists last year as I hoped. We're cutting back costs on most facets of our lives. I have a new rewards card since last update. Trying to put everything on the cards. Ready for takeoff! Here we go!
