Thrifty and Frugal
Welcome to the third thrifty and frugal Thursday of April. Hard to believe how quickly time is passing. Also hard to believe the rather winter-like weather we have been getting here on the Canadian prairies. We have had some lovely days where the sun was shining and the temperatures weren't too bad, and we definitely took advantage.
So what were the frugal and thrifty happenings around the old homestead this week.
1. Busy using up bits and bobs from my stash of craft supplies.
2. Stuck to my list and have hopefully come in under the grocery budget this month. However there is a great meat sale on some cuts at our Co-op and I may just blow the budget and pick some of those up. It could end up saving us a bundle the next few months. We shall see.
3. Lights have been turned off, clothes hung on the lines downstairs, and solar heat a few days this week kept the furnace from coming on too much during that time.
4. More of my flowers are popping up.
5. Harvey planted some Eggplant and we are hopeful those will sprout as well.
6. I am up to 13 no spend days so far this month, and pretty sure I can add more to that amount.
7. Put $0.45 in the change jars, and added $75.00 to the savings envelope. I use the money in the envelope to purchase fabric and yarn or at times buy new clothing/shoes. The change jars help with paying for the Family reunion every 2 years.
8. Fixed a zipper on one of my fleece jackets. I hate fixing zippers!!!
9. Harvey moved his wine from the primary to the secondary and will probably be bottling either the end of the month or perhaps the end of the first week in May.
10. Harvey used bits and bobs from his stash of lumber downstairs to build a small stool to use with the grow lights and when outside planting.
So that is pretty much all that has been happening here.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
