2025 Frugal Friday File, March 14...

 

1.  I've successfully made it through the Amazon blackout (3/7 - 3/14).

2.  Did some thrifting at Goodwill.  I bought men's 100% cotton shirts; all but one was XL or XXL, and two were the half-price color tag.  Brought them home and laundered them.  Next (or eventually) I will remove seams, and store the raw fabric for future quilting projects.  I mean Joann Fabrics will be gone...I still haven't gone for the chaotic closing tour. 

One of my granddaughters has a phobia of Goodwill (her very first time inside one was at the 'Bins,' and the chaos and the glove requirement freaked her out).  Now I keep telling her that I'm going to get her Christmas and birthday gifts from there from now on.  She'll never suspect that a Grandma-made quilt (or at least the raw materials [pardon the pun]) could be from Goodwill.  :)

While at Goodwill I also picked up a new-in-box set of twelve wide-mouth quart Mason Jars for $9.  And another vintage square jar with original lid (about 1/2 gallon size) for $3.  

3.  I volunteered at the library used book sale section without buying any books. 

4.  I didn't buy a new car yet.

5.  I didn't get a haircut.

In other words I pretty much stayed home and did nothing but read.  :)

On the menu this week:

Saturday:  Chinese takeout

Sunday:  Sunday family supper at Kasey's

Monday:  out for Tex-Mex

Tuesday:  Roast, Dumplings, Carrots, Broccoli

Wednesday:  Homecooked meal from freezer/Ham and homemade Mac&Cheese

Thursday:  Breakfast for supper

Friday:  late lunch, skipped supper

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!
