Thrifty Tuesday

This past week (well for the last 6 days) we have been busy harvesting produce from the garden. I do wish that Harvey would have planted lettuce, but that is fairly inexpensive at the grocery. I can see the next few weeks being busy ones. Relish, pickles, pie filling, dehydrating and freezing will be taking place. While it will be hectic, I do love seeing all the produce processed and ready to be used in the winter.

I took in a skirt today, nice that I have lost enough weight that this is beginning to be necessary. No way will I go out and buy a whole new wardrobe. Give me a seam ripper and my sewing machine along with a little time.

I darned a sock for Harvey. He really likes these socks and since they cost an arm and a leg (okay, maybe just an arm) he allowed me to darn the one he put a tiny hole in.

Laundry was washed and hung on the lines outside. An even bigger saving on our electrical bill is that the last two days it has been cool enough to keep the air conditioning off. Hoping for another few days of this lovely weather. 

I defrosted my fridge (for some reason there is an ice build up on the bottom) and melted the ice. This was used to water a few of my plants today. The others were done with the water in the rain barrel.

Leftovers are being used to make new meals and anything left from there is being used for another meal or for lunches.

All in all a fairly thrifty week......A good thing since we both needed new lenses, and I had a cleaning at the dentist. No cavities though so I am a happy camper.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
