Last week we
had a very lean week because of taking my Mother to her class reunion out of
town. I hadn’t planned on the trip but
after her heart attack 2 weeks ago, she asked me to drive her down. She was still worried after the surgery. The Dr. wasn’t thrilled with her going, but
she is very determined! And besides, she had already paid for the 2
tickets! LOL! I just had to stop and let her walk every so
often.
I
packed my lunch 4 out of the 5 days—really I packed 5 days but forgot to take
lunch to work one day. I’d forget my
head if it weren’t attached!
I
lucked out and found about 10 lbs. of roma tomatoes marked down to just a
little over $5! I was able to can 6
pints of tomato sauce and about a quart of fresh salsa that we have devoured
over the weekend. What a bargain! Canning is so satisfying!
I only spent $48 at the super market last
week. That included the tomatoes that I
canned. I am trying to use up the food
in the freezer and after last weekend, the savings sure were appreciated.
I filled my car up at Kroger and got $.30 per
gallon off.
After getting my rear end handed to me by my
diabetes Doc last month, I have been walking several miles per day in order to
try and get off of some of my meds and improve my glucose levels. I have been trying to eat better and reduce
my carb consumption. It’s been a lot of
hard work but it is paying off. My goal is to lose weight and be off of the
fast acting insulin and off of the blood pressure meds by Christmas. This will
be a savings of about $65 per month and will potentially save a bunch on future
medical bills! I am determined to do this!
How did you save last week?Frugal blessings,
Lisa
