We had a bit of a problem with our power flickering off and on yesterday. It seems to have steadied today.
The usual thrifty happenings here on the old homestead. Mending, using things up, and watching what we spend as is usual.
Hubby has requested more meatless meals and I will be searching the internet for those.
More baking happening. When one can't open the windows due to nasty weather, the smell of baking makes a big difference inside.
Going through a blizzard makes one manage their meals and makes all of us try and use what is available in our homes. Having a well stocked pantry is a great way to save on spending and getting little things completed around the house.
Being thrifty does not only take spending and being conscious of what we are using or repairing, it also takes into account how we use our time. Being unable to go anywhere is allowing me to realize that I am not thrifty with my time.
I usually go to a friends for coffee almost every day (I feel sorry for her, I am the only break she gets from her overbearing Husband). This takes about an hour or more out of my morning, I am now thinking that every second or third day would be enough time. This is the friend (and hubby) who complain all the time about the money they spend, but don't want to accept any help on how to control their spending. The Hubby is also a person who likes to shop every day, and find things that are medically wrong with either him or my friend. I just get tired of trying to help and shuffled off as being a nut according to her husband. Time to draw back and get things done that need to be done here at home.
Everybody have a wonderful evening.
God bless.
