Frugal Friday File 2017, week 15...


Successes:
1.  Menu planned.  Grocery list made.  Major shopping trip done.  Coupons used.  Freezer and pantry restocked.

2. One item on my shopping list was ham.  I don't buy one often, but they were on sale for $1.29 per pound.  I have meal plans for ham with macaroni & cheese, quiche, ham sandwiches, and some to be packaged for the freezer for future meals.  

3.   Just paid the electric bill...probably the lowest of the year.

4.  While the weather is comfortable, Carey has plans to take the air conditioner apart today.  He is going to clean the coils and check things over.  Not exactly in his job description, but he has had A/C training through his employer over the years.  A mechanical husband is a frugal thing indeed.

5.  I'm working Monday thru Friday of next week.  I am just a wee bit out of practice.  If it doesn't kill me, I will have a decent pay check.

  1. Having a handy husband is wonderful and even better when handy husband has an even handier friend who's done a course in heating an air conditioning. He also owns a trailer park and pretty much knows how to fix anything.
    Happy Easter.

    1. I keep telling mine I should HIRE him out. :) He’s not happy unless he’s busy.

I have had a lot of really gross spam comments left lately, so I am having to turn comment moderation back on. To my nice blog friends, my apologies if this makes it more difficult for you to comment. To the mean naughty-talk spammers, just go away!
