Five Frugal Things -- Repair Cafés & Tunaball
1) My husband and I had cheeseburgers for dinner last night, which used up the last of the ground beef I bought earlier in the week for family dinner night. My plan had been to stretch the meat for an entire pan of pasta sauce, but I've been fighting off a cold and didn't have the energy.
We're still working on a $1 16-pack of Franz Outlet sesame buns, which might last indefinitely in our freezer.
2) I'd planned on running some fun errands yesterday, but instead stayed home to fight off a cold and embrace the homebody lifestyle. I lay on the couch drinking tea and watching The Great British Sewing Bee, while getting up periodically to run loads of laundry.
Going nowhere and doing nothing is always the most frugal activity, although it's never going to be my frugal advice.
3) The fun errand I'd planned on running was to go a Repair PDX "Café" for free knife sharpening and to shore up the wiring in the Mr Puppy lamp that I thrifted last month. Luckily there's another café coming up in a few weeks, which'll actually be closer to the house.
4) We still have our daughter's five (six?) month old kitten at the house, which has been enjoyable. All the kitty cuddles without the actual responsibility of pet ownership. She'll be returning in a day or two, but until then you can find me snapping photos of this one-eyed sweetie.
Her name is curently "Tuna," although she also doesn't answer to Tuna Melt, Tuna Casserole, Tunaball, Surf & Turf and "Hey!" when she starts to claw the couches.
5) No one is keeping a chilled bottle of Champagne, hoping to wake to news of my demise.
Now your turn, what frugal things have you been up to?
That Mr. Puppy Lamp is the cutest thing I've seen in a long time! What are your plans for it?
