1. Did really well cooking at home all week.
2. Jared's birthday was this week. Even cooked his favorite meal at home, and made his favorite freezer pie. Thankfully he loves the quick & easy freezer pie, so no baking involved. When it is over 100º F having the oven on is crazy, and standing over a hot stove making a favorite meal is a true act of love.
3. I re-used a gift bag for his present, and I made his birthday card. The gift had been ordered far in advance, and delivered with another purchase, so no extra gasoline spent.
4. While I was cleaning off the kitchen countertops, I found a bottle of shower gel. Weird, right? It had been there for awhile...like...a long while. I think it was part of a gift basket, as it wasn't one of our usual brands. Still, we were needing some, so I'm happy to use it up before buying more.
5. I received another refund check from Medicare for chiropractic care paid out of pocket. This one was for $13. I had JUST deposited the previous checks, and another trip to the bank for such a small check seemed ludicrous. But I did have another appointment this morning, so I stopped by bank while I was out.
On the menu this week:
Saturday: late lunch, so ate watermelon for supper again
Sunday: Spanish Rice
Monday: Subscription meal
Tuesday: Chicken Curry
Wednesday: Taco Salad
Thursday: Chicken Fried Steak w/ Mashed Potatoes, gravy & veg
Friday: Beef Stroganoff
Another successfully frugal week!
