Frugal Friday



Welcome to Friday! 

My Frugal Week

It has  been a very busy week here. Our cat Polka Dot was bitten by another cat this week and had to go to the vet. He is home now and on antibiotics. He is still limping though, which I hope improves quickly. 

My glasses came in on Thursday and one pair was made incorrectly so they sent those back. The other pair works for my right eye, but not the left eye.  It does not correct my vision enough to drive, so I will need the surgery eventually. 

Last week on Friday and Saturday we went to multiple yard sales, twenty-four in all. Amy Dacyczyn calls this power Yard-Saling. In order to find good deals it requires going to multiple yard sales because the items for sale are unpredictable. 

Bailey was able to get inventory for her online stores and also several hard goods. 

I was able to get a Tupperware bowl, Rubbermaid pitcher, pinking sheers, several dish towels, wash cloths, one bath towel, pot holders, and dish cloths. 

We spent so much time yard sailing that the sales were beginning to close up towards the end of our day. Some people were giving stuff away for half off or even free. we got several things this way. 

Bailey has been looking for pots and planters to put her plants in and the yard sales did not disappoint her. 

It's so great to be able to yard sale again and find yard sale prices too. 

We stopped at Ingle's one day to pick up their Welch's grape juice, which was on sale 2 for $5.00. The same sized bottle sells for $3.68 at Walmart, so it was a good price. 

Saving Money In My Frugal Kitchen

I used up the last of my eggs and onions while making meatloaf this week, so I added them to the grocery list. We will be doing an order for groceries to be delivered on Monday this week. 

Meals This Week

Sunday: I had a family pack of ground beef thawing in the refrigerator, so I made meatloaf, meatballs, and Salisbury steaks out of it. I made my own gravy using butter, corn starch, beef broth and a spoon of sour cream. 

Monday: Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables. 

Tuesday: Chicken Strips, Cole Slaw

Wednesday: Salmon Patties, Mashed Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables.

Thursday: Chicken Sandwiches, Cole Slaw, Carrots

Sorry this is a short post, but I wanted to give you all a quick update. 

How was your week?
