Savory Pot Roast With Mashed Potatoes & Gravy |
We followed our meal plan fairly closely and used up the leftovers
throughout the week. I love that we were
able to do this and minimize waste.
I fed our kitchen scraps and some extra veggies we had I the
crisper drawer to the chickens.
I made a homemade day planner for 2016. I printed the calendar off my computer and made the cover with a sheet of
cardstock I had. I reinforced the edges
with a strip of packing tape to make it more durable.
I took advantage of the loss leaders on sale at Albertson's this
week. I purchased and 11 pound ham for
88¢ a pound, three New York strip steaks for our Christmas dinner on sale for
$5.99 a pound and four packages of cream cheese for 97¢ each. I may go back this week and get another ham
to put in the freezer for later on down the road.
I used items I had in my stash to make two gifts for an exchange
at our annul Bunco Christmas party. I
paired a handmade hanging dishtowel I made with a dish cloth and added a bottle
of hand soap purchased on clearance from Bath & Body Works. I also used gift bags and tissue paper I
already had in my gift wrap bin.
The youngest and I went to the Antique mall to purchase two
vintage ornaments for our tree this year.
We found two lovely ones in very good condition, one for $3 and the other
was $2.
While at the antique mall I also found a bag of 4 yards of vintage
red pom pom trim for $5. I was excited
to find that and have several projects in mind for it.
We watched some Christmas movies and listened to Christmas music
on Youtube for free.
We set up our Christmas tree on Saturday. I went ahead and bought a set of lights for
$7.98 to replace the set that died and were tossed out last year. We decorated the remainder of the house with
items we already had.
How thrift were you last week?
