Frugal Friday

 

It has been pretty boring around here after Kurt left on Wednesday. Hot, muggy, and mostly overcast each and every day. Not conducive to working outside (mosquitoes are getting big enough to carry a small dog off), and barely decent enough to get a couple of walks in this past week.

I haven't driven the vehicle once which is adding up to great savings.

The rest of this week will be one in which I am using up food that was made while Kurt was here. This means a few changes...Today instead of Glace and fried eggs we will be having a chef's salad. Using up the chicken breast a few slices from a package of ham, the remainder of a carton of eggs, and some grated cheese from another meal. Tomorrow night will be baked spaghetti and garlic bread (or buns). Saturday night will be the leftover pork casserole from last night. Sunday the leftover Baked Spaghetti. Stretching what we already have gives me a frugal rush.

I did manage to get out in the very early morning three times for a walk. Great frugal exercise, and perfect alone time. 

I have managed to dehydrate a few herbs, and used the remainder of those dried and bagged last year to fill the containers one last time.

Working on the knitted blanket and using up various bits and bobs of yarn that are left. So far it is coming along very nicely. Should be a warm covering come winter for snuggling and reading a good book.

Today I have spent some time cutting scraps down into 4 1/2 squares for quilting, and cutting apart jeans and the shirt that Kurt brought home to also be cut into those squares. Too small pieces have been disposed of, and those bigger pieces have been collected to perhaps be cut down even smaller. I hope to finish the remainder of the cottons tonight and start on the jeans at some point tomorrow.

So those are the frugal past times for this week.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
