1. Enjoying a paid holiday! One of the nice things about full-time job rather than part time.
2. For a month or so, I went a little nuts with online shopping. (It was actually why I brought back The Frugal Friday File.) I guess it was because I hadn't been out to shop for non-grocery items for months, and there were just some things we needed, but still. This week I only received two deliveries...meal delivery, and one I had ordered awhile back and the shipping was delayed. It's a good feeling getting some control back.
3. I did make quite a large curbside order for produce at Sprouts this week. (They have a lot of organics, etc.) It's the first time I've done curbside with them, so there was no fee added. I'm hoping to do a large batch of roasted vegetables to use for meals and to make lunches for my work next week.

5. I'm working on a gift for my mother-in-law. All from supplies on hand. I'll show it later.
So have you been saving money or exceeding spending expectations with the pandemic?
We have been saving money here, Kath. Lots of costs, such as fuel and public transport fares, have been minimised as my husband is working from home. I haven't really done a lot of shopping, besides grocery shopping, and am finding those costs rising here with few specials to be had.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you are enjoying a holiday. It is school holidays here and many people are travelling within our state as restrictions have eased somewhat. We are staying home but I did enjoy a lovely day out yesterday and lunch with my friends. Meg:)
Our state is one of those where the numbers are spiking upward (governor irresponsibly reopened before a sustained downward trajectory, and boy did the revelers go wild, and continue to do so...you would think they never view/hear a news article), so we are still trying to avoid public situations as much as possible. I am really missing a nice meal out with friends...so glad to hear you enjoyed one recently!
