Thrifty and Frugal Thursday

Thrifty and Frugal


I am working on getting out of this blah phase I am in. I actually baked today. Nothing fancy, just a chocolate cake and tomorrow I will bake bread, and perhaps those cookies I keep putting off. 

So what thrifty and frugal things have I been up to over the past week.

1.  Combined errands when I went to the dentist last Friday. 

2.  Used up leftovers to make new meals. Those meals fed us for two meals each.

3.  Fixed a hem on a split skirt I had made a few years back.

4.  Used up a few bits and bobs of yarn knitting mitts.

5.  Put $95.00 in my savings envelope.

6.  Added $0.55 to the change jars. 

7.  And of course all the usual frugal and thrifty things that are just a second nature to me.


Everybody have a wonderful evening.

God bless.

  3. All very good things. And not sure if this helps you but I make dough and put half in the fridge, first parted into balls and covered well in a glass container for later use. Really nice to have on hand and turn into other things later. Blog upcoming about how I do that. Helps the dough slowly ferment and also gives us a break when we want fresh, but don't want to stop and make new dough.
