Frugal Friday

 

The end of another week of frugal endeavors. Really not much new in that department around here.


1.  I managed a few more no spend days this week and raised my total for the month to 11 no spend days.


2.  Baked 2 loaves of bread saving about $1.50 and had the satisfaction of knowing exactly what was in each loaf.


3.  Saved $44.45 on groceries this week just buying sale items.


4.  Bought 10 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breasts for $2.99 a pound which was the cheapest they have been here in months.


5.  Mended my favourite cashmere sweater, I should now get at least another years wear out of it.


6.  Used up lots of food leftovers.


Everybody have a wonderful evening. 


God bless.

  1. I must admit I have some leftovers that need using up. Thankfully it is mainly salad which can be put to good use as a side dish.

    1. Love it when we have leftover salad. Add a bit of protein and it makes a wonderful lunch.

      God bless.

  2. We have curtailed out out to the store visit as well. Trying to go on payday with a list in mind. Not doing to bad with that. Using up what meats I have in the freezer before bringing home more. I've just about got them all done, we are down to chicken, lots of chicken. Pot pies coming up soon.

    1. I love pot pies, but Harvey turns up his nose at them. I just might make a few anyway. I have a mini pie maker which is the perfect size.

      God bless.

    1. My husband has been digging around in my pantry once again, so at some point I will need to straighten it out once more.

      God bless.

  6. Chicken is the most useful meat possible. Not sure about the exchange rate but that sounds a bargain to me.

    1. That would be about 1.73 pounds per pound. LOL that is as difficult to read as it is to write.

      God bless.
