Successes:
1. Payday. Nuff said.
2. Carey got called back in on his days off to cover for a coworker who is out sick.
3. No fabric purchases in over a month!
4. I used up dribs and drabs in the fridge to avoid food waste...half & half purchased for a recipe and the remainder went unused till I used it in mashed potatoes...leftover corn and the end of two containers of sour cream in corn pudding...three boneless/skinless chicken thighs left in a bag and the end of a bag of broccoli for teriyaki chicken & broccoli.
5. Shopped the Friends of the Library used book shelves and picked up three for Carey to take to work. He doesn't like to take checked-out books to work in case they get lost.

ReplyDeleteA very good week!
ReplyDeleteI've been doing a bit of half price shopping on every day items but you do have to spend money to save that money.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to use up stuff from the freezer before our trip to Florida next month. Lots of choice at the moment but will be slim pickings by the end of the month.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good week. Look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves!
