Five More Frugal Things -- Free Holiday Decor!
1. I stopped at a local Christmas tree lot and brought home an armload of free pine boughs to decorate my house for the season. We do have an artificial tree that we garbage picked maybe ten years ago, but there's just something about the smell of a freshly cut tree that can't be duplicated.
Plus it's fun to decorate the bouquets like they're little trees.
2. I returned all my library books and spent twenty minutes or so picking out new books for a fresh start. It's doubtful I'll read all of them, but I like to have choices.
3. I noticed a $2.99/month Black Friday deal for BritBox, so I texted it to my sister who has a subscription. She asked if I could arrange it for her, so I clicked into her Amazon Prime account and began to cancel her subscription. This prompted a 99¢/month offer, which she told me to accept. For comparison, she'd been paying $11.99 per month.
This deal will end in March, but I've added it to my calendar so I can cancel it before the price goes back up again. Who knows? Maybe they'll offer another cheap deal.
4. I finally took out my sewing supplies to mend a pillowcase that's constantly tearing. Does it look perfect? Nope! But the repair will keep it in circulation and no one's exactly examining my bedding to ensure that the seams are straight.
I kid you not about the magical disintegrating pillowcase:
5. I didn't mend a Lear Jet.
