Frugal Friday

The past few weeks have been hectic here with some family things going on.  I have tried to focus on being as frugal as possible.


I did minimal grocery shopping this past week.  I want to focus on eating out of the freezer/pantry this month.  I already have a turkey in the freezer for Thanksgiving.  Now if only we could get some soup weather, I would be set.


I reused the pumpkins from my front porch to decorate at my church's trunk or treat event.  Those $3 pumpkins have been well used this year.  I plan to continue their use after the season is over by feeding them to the chickens.


I kept up with the weather forecasts and washed clothes according to the weather.  Things that could be dried on racks inside were left for rainy days. 


I found dish washing gloves marked 90% off at Dollar General.  We also picked up a set of drinking glasses on clearance.  I will add these to my gift closet.  Paired with some crocheted dish scrubbies and cloths they will make a nice wedding shower gift. 


I gave away leftovers from our trunk or treat.  In the end there were still some hot dogs and hamburgers left.  I brought these home and put them in the freezer for future meals.
