Thrifty and Frugal
Mostly just the usual frugal practices this past week, it was difficult to add any when our sons were home and washing their clothes or snacking.
I will say however that nothing more was purchased to see us through the festivities. We had and still have more than enough. Mind you I have run out of fresh fruit, and as far as fresh veggies are concerned there is only a small amount of cabbage and a few carrots in the crisper. Using up all that I can before I head out the door to pick up some groceries.
Perhaps the thing I am most proud of is the 23 no spend days for the month of December. Combining errands, making sure I did not decide to leave the house and spend money foolishly helped extend the days. I don't know if I will be able to continue that for the month of January, but I am sure going to try my best.
Did a bit of decluttering, mostly some cords that Kris said to get rid of.
I pulled out our old portable DVD player and will hook it up to the TV once I find the cords I need, or if Kris finds some in one of his boxes. I really want to be able to watch the collection of DVD's I have. Some haven't even been watched. That is a waste and I need to rectify that.
Hopefully next week I will have some new frugal and thrifty things to share with you all.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
We have several mystery cords that I haven't a clue what they do and finally have resorted to, when a new cord arrives, putting a label on it. Wish we could have figured out how to get a DVD player to talk nicely to our tv but it didn't happen so we got rid of all our DVDs.
