Thrifty and Frugal
The vehicle is still at the dealership. Turns out all the parts were not delivered, but would have come in now. The dealership asked if they could keep it overnight and I said of course. So we will be picking up the SUV in the early afternoon tomorrow.
So what thrifty and frugal things have I been up to this week.
1. Made more yogurt. This seems to have turned out to be much thicker. I used some cream added to the milk to see if that would improve the consistency, and it has. So a bit of cream will be added to the mixture from now on. Makes it cost a bit more, but I seem to get more as it is thicker.
2. Tried baking bread in the electric roaster.... It was baked, but did not have a nicely browned crust. Still, at least it did not burn.
3. Since my oven is still not working (Harvey did more checking of the wiring and such) I am giving my cooking appliances a great work out. Probably saving quite a bit on the electrical front.
4. All leftovers are being used in other meals, so no waste is occurring right now.
5. Of course I am still doing all the little usual frugal habits, like hanging clothes on the lines downstairs, combining errands, paying bills online, and I am using up some instant coffee that I really do not care for.
6. Saving plastic containers to use to freeze or store leftovers in.
7. Made my shopping list today checking out as many sale fliers as I possibly can.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
