Thrifty Thursday-Despite an Expensive Month Edition

February I'll recharge my frugal ways. That doesn't mean I'm not on the look out for ways to be thrifty even though there has been nothing frugal about January. My wins this past week include:

1. Free Try-It yoga class through Community Ed. I did really enjoy it, but second part is I've decided not to register for the class, but logged on two mornings and did a few minutes via an on-line program.
2. Used the surplus strawberries, the aquafaba from the curry chick peas, and more of the coconut milk (nothing wasted) to make a vegan strawberry oatmeal bread. The flavor is delicious, despite it not rising. We ate one, but I froze the other as a thank you to DD1 for watching the dog again this weekend. 
3. While cleaning on Saturday, I found a whole lot of change in various places, adding over $3 to my canister. Remember the Baguette and Croissant fund? It is still growing!
4. I submitted for my remaining 2018 medical flex account. I had ordered a knee therapy kit, prescription sun screen, and another spare pair of gasses-keeping me set for another couple years. These were paid for with the Visa, so when the reimbursement comes, it can go right into savings-$368.
5. While they say the girls can reuse their false eye lashes, to me they seem like a ripe opportunity to cause an eye infection. I found several at the Dollar Tree, same brand as in Walmart, for  almost half as much. Healthy eyes are a bargain. 

Once again, nothing individually will make me rich. On the need/joy list, all register high. I'm slowly getting back into the mode of spending when needed or when the enjoyment factor has a high return.
