I made
two pints of salad dressing. One French
dressing and one Creamy Caesar dressing.
A
friend of mine picked me up a two pound bag of yeast from Costco for
$3.99. You can't beat that price at the
regular grocery store.
I
filled my seven gallon propane tank at the RV store near work for 99¢ a
gallon! I was thrilled when I pulled up
and saw the sign. It is their summer
promo.
I watch
two TV shows on Hulu and one on Amazon.
I stuck
to our meal plan once again and used leftovers for our lunches.
We gave
our kitchen scraps to the neighbor's chickens.
I did
not need to buy gas last week. Yaaay!
I did
not do any grocery shopping this week.
Again, yaaay!
I
mended a seam in a pair of pants.
We replaced
my daughter's broken E string on her violin and her teacher tuned it for us
afterward saving us the time and expense of a professional repair. I ordered the string from Amazon and an extra
one for next time. We know there will be
a next time.
I used
up the last of my homemade laundry detergent by mixing it half and half with
store bought. Now I am completely back
to store bought detergent and cleaner, nicer smelling laundry.
I
signed up for a free two week trial at Ancestry.com to help me fill in some
gaps in my family tree.
How was your thrifty week last week?
Great week for you, as usual :)
ReplyDeleteI took my dad to a Blue Jays game in Toronto this past Saturday. It was his Christmas gift from me. My father refused to allow me to buy him anything at the stadium because the prices are criminal. I bought him dinner on the way home, saving lots of money. I love my dad!
I stayed home more last week resulting in fewer grocery store trips. Yay!!
That is great! I bet your Dad really enjoyed the time he got to spend with you. I'm sure dinner elsewhere was a bargain. Probably tastier too.
DeleteNice savings! Great deals on the yeast and the propane. The salad dressing sounds good!
ReplyDeleteI am just trying out some homemade laundry detergent that a friend who lives down the street gave to me. She said she used a recipe that she thought was going to make 5 gallons but instead made 10 gallons! I gladly accepted her offer and I am liking it so far. She said the cost of making and using it comes out to be about 3¢ to 5¢ per load! Cant beat that. :)
Let me know how that detergent works out for you. The stuff I made seemed to work fine at first but then it didn't. I was bummed.
DeleteI have to ask, where did you get your propane deal and is it still going on? We have a tank we need to fill! Love all the great information you give on this site!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lin! Bretz RV in Boise on Broadway Ave near the interstate.
