2025 Frugal Friday File, June 27...

 

1.  Sunday I put four chicken breast halves in the slow cooker with part of a jar of picante sauce and a packet of Italian dressing mix.  After four hours, I shredded two of them and diced two of them.  The diced meat was added to a pasta salad to be eaten through the week.  The shredded meat will be added to quesadillas another night and maybe some soup (which I saved the liquid from the slow cooker for) another night.  I love having a headstart on meals for the week.

2.  Aside from groceries and bills, I only spent $2.15 for a Kindle book.

3.  No takeout or meals out this week.  

4.  I put two birthday cards in the mail this week.  One of them late, but oh well.  

Speaking of mail, the postage rates are going up again on July 13 -- a one ounce letter will go from 73¢ to 78¢.  I still have plenty of forever stamps to last a good while.

5.  I have thought about getting my hair cut every day this week, but I continue to put it off.  It's hot, and all I do is pull it up off my neck anyway.  For sure I'll get it cut sometime before grandson's December's wedding.  :)
