Five Frugal Things --

1. I sold my Goodwill bins backpack through Facebook Marketplace for $100! I was on the fence on whether or not to keep it, but came to the conclusion that I already have a backpack and only use it a couple times per year. This indicates to me that I am in no need of a schmancy backpack and it's better to get the hundred bucks.

This wasn't part of the $100 Goodwill Gift Card Challenge, so the profits are mine to keep.

2. My kid and their partner stopped by the house to pick up "Mama's Little Meatball" and we hung out and played cards for an hour or so. I served leftover lentil soup with a side of chocolate cake and all was well with the world.

3 I watched the men's Olympic "free skate" through the Peacock app, which is free through our Verizon cell phone plan. That plan is further discounted due to my husband's status as a first responder.

4. The sun made a brief appearance today, so I opened up some windows and turned off the furnace for six hours or so.

5. I didn't spend countless thousands of dollars for my kids to become Olympic athletes.

Now your turn, what frugal things have you been up to?
