Happy Sunday to all. Hope this finds you well and safe. Golly, here we are half-way through another month! It just does not seem possible. The days are flying by.
It is another wonderful morning here. Nice and cool. The days are warmer again and look to stay that way for at least another week. We are to be mid 80'sF all week. No rain in sight - we sure do need it.
My frugal week:
- I had a meeting with my finance guy this week - all good
- HARVEST - toms, zucchini, yellow squash, 1 pepper, and rhubarb
- Did my fall maintenance on the generator - and decided to have a full maintenance session done - called and set for Tuesday this coming week
- Cut my hair at home - been holding off, trying to let it grow. Just didn't like it!
- Patched a pair of jeans
- I did it again!!! Spent some money. Been talking about it all summer and finally did it. I bought a power washer! I got it at the fairly new discount store I have close by. I paid at least $100 LESS than retail according to my research. YAY me. I also got a new pair of jeans for $10 (heck GW cost 7.99 for used), bunch of celery $1, and raisin/cinnamon English muffins for .85 pack/6.
- Was cleaning out closet and found a brand-new set of sheets at the top and back of closet, I had forgotten about! Laundered and they are on the bed now
- Mowed - not that the grass needed it - but the spindly weeds. It is dry and the grass really isn't growing
- CLEANED and cleaned some more. Really working on getting everything all cleaned for fall
- No grocery store
- Just doing all the normal stuff
- Processing tomatoes - some went in the freezer for now. Gifted many to neighbors
- My neighbor gifted me 8 packaged meals they receive every month. He has celiac (or something like it) and gets 32 frozen meals every month from his insurance or something. They didn't have room for all of them - so gifted me some. Breakfast and lunch/dinner entrees. Nice to have on hand for something quick.
My meals this past week:
Leftover day - cleaned out and ate what was in frig
Fried chicken, mac n cheese and sliced toms
Fried chicken, leftover mac, sliced cukes and toms
Spicey grilled cheese, leftover ravioli from freezer
'Jalapeno popper' style zucchini bites and salad
Beans and rice and salad
Chicken/beans/rice supreme burritos
SNACKS, fruit, toms and/or salad, crackers and cheese
That's about it for me. I have enjoyed the cool mornings and open the windows for about half the day (kitties like that too). Mornings are the time to do things outdoors.
How has your week been? What have you been up to or buying this week? Any good deals?
Check in and let us know how you are - missing some of you!!!
I wish you all a wonderful week ahead - stay safe and healthy and productive.
Blessings to you and yours from me at my humble little home.
