Hi Dear Readers,
Last week was a pretty good week frugally! We used some coupons that Meijer sent us and got a free box of Little Debbie's snacks along with savings on eggs, milk and butter!
I bought a bone in half ham that we stretched for 4 meals-- fried ham and homemade biscuits, then made a pot of pinto beans with some of the cut off ham(leftovers for third meal) and saved the bone for a pot of northern bean soup. Waste not, want not! We had a pan of homemade cornbread with the beans! Can you say yummy? Mmmm, mmm, good!
We ate the leftover biscuits for breakfast and used some of the apple butter I canned week before last. It was to die for good! Home canned foods taste so much better than store bought!
I started my Christmas shopping. Ordered several gifts that were half off online--cannot say what because of family that may read this! They sure smell good though!
Ordered toilet paper from Amazon! Cheap and delivered to your front door. Win, win!
My DH and I made up a list of things to do around the house before it gets cold in order to save money on utilities. He worked on sealing and insulating our basement door. One thing down and 15 more to go, but it is a start! We are hoping to reduce our utilities by 10% compared to last year. A big goal but with our list of improvements, I hope we will meet it!
I'll share more about weatherproofing our home in a later post.
That's about all for us last week. What have you saved money on lately?
Frugal Blessings,
Lisa
