I made foaming
soap refill solution for the bathroom dispenser with 3 Tbs. liquid soap and 2/3
cup warm water. One filled dispenser
lasts us nearly four weeks. The new
solution works perfectly and what a thrifty recipe!
We
organized some more and filled a large green trash bag with items to donate
after realizing, once again, we have kept too much stuff.
Our
next door neighbor provided us with a dozen farm fresh eggs, bless her heart!
Our
landlady surprised us with a basket filled with veggies from her garden.
I loaded
up my Etsy store and now we are up and running once again! I listed and sold more items on eBay.
I
wrapped a friend's birthday gifts with newspaper and decorated the packages
with bright red bows recycled from Christmas.
I also added a jar of homemade jam.
He loved it!
We
enjoyed Family Movie Nite with DVDs from our own collection. I watched NYPD
Blue episodes on Amazon Prime.
I sent
a huge load of stuff to an animal rescue thrift store. I felt really good about getting rid of stuff
and to be helping out a wonderful cause.
We used
up every last bit of toothpaste in a tube as well as every last drop of dish
soap in a bottle. I recycled the bottle.
I replaced the toothpaste with a trial
size tube I got as a free sample in the mail.
I did
not grocery shop this week as we had plenty of food in the house.
How was
your thrifty week last week?
Yay for the animal rescue thrift store!
ReplyDeleteLast week wasn't too thrifty for us. I bought 2 pairs of jeans for $6 at Goodwill, unfortunately they don't fit. I never actually try them on at the store. I hate how you can't go by just sizes. Heck, I had on the same brand and size as one pair I picked up and they wouldn't even button. I spent $80 on work clothes for the husband at an outlet store. It's a lot of money for me to spend in one go, but name brand and good quality and it got him 3 pairs of khaki dress pants and 2 button up dress shirts. But it did give us a $5 off coupon for our next visit.
I did find a beautiful 500 piece cat jigsaw puzzle on sale for $1.50. And I found out I can borrow library books on my Kindle! I didn't think I could since I have the basic one and it wasn't under the list of supported ones, but I tried it and it turns out I can. Excites me. I love the feel of a book in my hands, but I am extremely unsocial and hate going to the library.
Sorry to ramble on. But I love your blog!
Thank you for sharing. I think you managed to get a lot for your $80. Great job! I love that you love our blog. Hope to hear from you often. Have a fabulous day!
