I made
biscuits and a simple country gravy to go with sliced oranges and scrambled
eggs for our Sunday breakfast. For mere
pennies we enjoyed a scrumptious and very satisfying meal on a cold winter
morning.
I cut
the bargain ham in half putting one part in the freezer for later down the
road. I thinly sliced some of the other
half for sandwiches for the girl's school lunches this week. I put the rest away in the refrigerator for
future meals.
Monday
I stopped at Albertson's on my way home from work and did a little jumpstart
shopping for February. My youngest was
excited to see that I bought her ten packages of ramen on sale for 2/25¢. In our house that is considered a treat as I
don't especially care for them, nor do I see a lot of nutrition in a package of
those things. But Super Mom prevailed.
My best
bargain was two packages of sirloin steaks that had tear off $2.00 coupons on
them. I was able to get five steaks, two
of which are HUGE, for $7.45. For us
that will make at least five meals. I
was hoping for a steak sandwich in my future. J
I also
got a 10# bag of potatoes for $1.48, a dozen eggs for 98¢, two packages of
hotdogs just 50¢ each and two containers of ice cream for $1.99 each. It has been a long time since we've had ice
cream in the house.
My
friend blessed me with a thick stack of coupon circulars she had saved for me. Thank you very much!
I made
a pot of coffee last three days. That
was amazing!
Even
more amazing, on Saturday afternoon, while the youngest spent the day with
Grandma, the oldest and I headed out in search of a freezer. In less than an hour we found one at Home
Depot for a mere pittance. More on that
later.
I made
some more soap refill for our foaming soap dispenser in the bathroom. 2/3 cup warm water and 3 tablespoons of
liquid soap stirred together. Super easy
and thrifty too!
What
great thrifty accomplishments did you have last week?
