Weekly Frugal Accomplishments

  • I received a few free samples in the mail this week.
  • We didn't eat dinner at home hardly at all, we ate a random family members for Easter and my husbands birthday, but we brought something to most of the dinners.
  • Used coupons for a very cheap bottle of laundry detergent and am going to be able to do the same this week. I plan to start making my own very soon but I haven't got around to it yet.
  • The weather's been beautiful so I haven't had to run the heat. To keep from turning on the air, I've been opening the front door to let a breeze blow through.
  • Made a menu plan! I only had to buy a few items. The rest will be from the pantry and freezer.
  • Hung towels up to dry to reuse the next morning for me and my son.
  • Was able to download a bunch of free kindle books.
  • I got a free subscription to Amazon prime, allowing to watch a bunch of shows for free. I also get free shipping and can borrow one kindle book free a month. This will allow me to get some books that I want to read but will not pay for.

    well done. I have been a thrifter all of my life.Needed a new 3piece suite and could not find one I liked. Changed my mindset and found one in a 2ndhand store for £55 + £25 delivery the next day. Needs recovering which will cost about £500 but a new suite of this quality would make a big hole in £2000. Needed a sewing machine that would cope with quilting patchwork quilts. Very expensive then it dawned on me that my late MIL's was lurking upstairs. Have just given 'Geraldine'[I name most things,my car is Tootsie,my tricycle Mathilda and I once had a rubber plant called Rodney]a really good oil and polish and you would not believe the amazing 'feet' that come with it. No excuses for lousy seams etc now. Just to round it off nicely I got a box of egg replacer equivalent to66 eggs for £1.20 in my local supermarket. Just to round it off the bitter east wind has finally dropped and the spring flowers are out. Blissikins. Anona
