Thrifty and Frugal Thursday

 

                                                    Thrifty and Frugal

Trying to stay thrifty and frugal this week. I do have a feeling as time passes there could be a bit of a problem with the frugal part. Thrifty will continue as usual. 

So what thrifty and frugal practices have been happening here on the old homestead. 

1.  Most of this month I have been using those small appliances to cook our meals (mind you I do miss my oven now). Hopefully this will show up as a savings on our electrical bill.

2.  I think I have managed to get Harvey to turn off his lights in the basement mancave. I am of course continuing this upstairs. 

3.  Combined errands in order to save fuel and vehicle wear and tear.

4.  Turned a collar on one of Harvey's dressier shirts. 

5.  Darned a pair of my socks.

6.  Used lots of substitutions while cooking this week. 

7.  Cut a whole pork loin into a roast and 5 meals of pork chops.

8.  I had some wrinkled potatoes and so weighed them and found I had the 2 pounds necessary for potato soup. That was made today and will be put in the freezer after labelling.

9.  Using up leftovers in other meals.

10.  Walking (even if it is in the house) for free and frugal exercise.

11.  Taking advantage of sales, and free entertainment.

Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.
