Thrifty and Frugal
It is a very hot day here on the old homestead and we are under severe thunderstorm warnings. However the dark clouds seem to be passing more to the north of us once again. The wind has risen though and that could signal a change in our weather.
So what frugal and thrifty things have been happening around the homestead this week.
1. The usual hanging clothes on the outside lines, watching our water usage (which is getting a bit more difficult as the rain barrel is almost empty), using leftovers up to make new meals, using bread I baked and put in the freezer while the boys were home and decluttering where I can.
2. I have saved elastics from various vegetables I have purchased this week.
3. Paid bills online and combined errands with the car.
4. Purchased some spray bottles from our Dollar Tree here in town to make some of my own cleaning supplies. Checked food prices and some are much less expensive than the regular price at my favourite grocery store.
5. Following my grocery list. Got a few items for the pantry that we were running lower than I like on.
6. Turning off lights in rooms not in use with more regularity. There have been too many times I have forgotten to do so.
7. Spending time working on projects and taking 15 minute breaks walking around the house for exercise.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
Some very good thrifty & frugal practices this week Jackie. Well done xx
ReplyDeleteGood job. Watch the sizes of those items at Dollar Tree - I found they were usually smaller than the grocery.
