Last week was a very frugal week for our family. I had been on medical leave for the last 10 weeks and let me tell you 60% of your pay is not enough to live on! So our measly food budget total was $52.00. I spent an hour going over and over the grocery ad trying to come as close to $50 as possible. I shopped the buy 5 get $5 off sale and saved over $15 dollars. We are doing without some stuff but we'll survive! Still have 2 freezers full and a stuffed pantry!My cousin Charles brought us a bucket full of cukes and tomatoes! Boy, have we enjoyed those and they couldn't have come at a better time!
I blanched and froze a mess of green beans we were given last week. Think these will be good for Thanksgiving so I'll be saving them!
We bought gas at Kroger and saved $.40 per gallon. Not a great savings but it beats nothing!
We made a pot of northern beans and ate on them 3 days last week. My Mother can make a meal out of them and an onion!
I went to the Goodwill but didn't find anything--savings of ???? I am trying not to spend over $5 each trip so I saved $5.00.
We stayed home all week except to go to Goodwill and grocery (one trip).
For entertainment we swam a few days and watched TV.
Well, that is about it for our family. What have you been saving money on ?
Blessings,
Lisa
