Thrifty and Frugal
This week has been very strange. I headed out a couple of days early to get groceries and our prescriptions. Mainly because we were going to be getting lots of snow. So many times this prediction has not come true, but yesterday the snow arrived. While we did not get quite as much as they said we would about 7" lay on the ground this morning, along with some nice drifts as the wind had whipped things around quite a bit.
So I have just a few thrifty and frugal things to share with you.
1. Harvey finished painting my donkey and cart, using paints he already had.
2. We shoveled and blew snow today for our frugal exercise.
3. I sewed some buttons on one of Harvey's shirts. The buttons came from my button jars.
4. I decided to try and bake all the bread we will need for when Kurt and Kris are home. As of today I have 4 loaves in the freezer. I plan on baking two more loaves tomorrow and two the day after. This cost me probably 1/2 of what the expense would have been if I purchased the bread.
5. Our Co-op grocery always lets us know how much we have saved at the end of our receipt. This time I saved $41.48 on my groceries.
6. I added $70.00 to my savings envelope and another $4.60 to the change jars.
7. Used appliances to cook much more this past week and will continue to do so.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
