I took my shaggy head of hair to the Supercuts training center for a free haircut.
Ahh . . . that’s better!
-
I finally got myself to the library to pick up my five holds! I also grabbed an adult summer reading program game card. Sadly, not as cute as the kid’s one:
-
I sold a pair of curb picked Birkenstocks on eBay for $20.
-
I pruned a leggy pot of oregano and offered the extra on my Buy Nothing group.
-
I didn’t gold plate anything. Not a toilet, not plastic Home Depot trim and certainly not Air Force One.
Five More Frugal Things
Previous post: Five Tiny Frugal Things
{ 7 comments… read them below or add one }
1. I had a salad for dinner last night with lettuce from my pots and I added chicken from my freezer. One more thing out of my freezer.
2. I stopped at Costco for gas since I was in the vicinity. It was 50 cents cheaper.
3. I made more dog ice cream with homemade yogurt.
4. I’m reading a kindle library book. I just The Vacancy in Room 10. It was very entertaining.
5. I’m hanging my laundry on racks to dry.
1. Realized that the ikea perler beads and forms were cheaper then the name brand ones.
2. Another free library program on perler beads ironically.
3. Finished up the last of the lunch leftovers when I hosted a party of 12.
4. Didn’t sink an nih rare disease program and destroy all the mice with said rare disease.
I had, as usual, put my laundered underwear on drying racks out in the garage. That was two days ago. This morning, I went out there to take in the dried laundry and guess what? It’s so horribly humid that the stuff was still a tiny bit damp. I ended up tossing everything in the clothes dryer for a few minutes. Didn’t want anything to mildew in my lingerie drawers!
1. I broke my 9 day no eating out streak when I ordered pizza last night to support a fundraiser. Had three girlfriends over last night to share pizza and good times. So glad I did. Get togethers don’t have to be expensive or pretentious.
2. Checked out two boxes of goodies on the curb. I scored a shirt and pants, as well as a box of DVDs, some new in packaging. The DVDs were donated to the library Friends group.
3. Making layered candles at work today in preparation for a future craft club. I love this part of my job where I can try different crafts and share them, but not on my personal tab.
4. I have not grocery shopping in over a week. I was gifted 2 bags of groceries from a neighbor, and also received a box of mostly snack foods and drinks from a program that gives food to school aged children in my state. I can get this box once a week for my child. I am trying to focus on eating what is in my house, and will receive food that is available or comes to us for free.
5. Trying to decide how to make extra money in a way that I am comfortable with. Food delivery really slowed down in my area and doesn’t seem to be worth it after the gas and time investment. I’ve been considering doing at home baking. I recently found out my neighbors two adult daughters are on a website that ends in fans. One recently landed herself in prison for two years. The other left her job and is living off of her new online celebrity. Oh boy!
I hate to be judgmental, but I found out one of the neighbors daughters started meeting her ‘fans’ in person. I want to understand, but it just pushes my stranger danger reflexes.
What’s to understand? She is a prostitute. Her choice. She wants to make money selling her body. It’s quite lucrative but also extremely dangerous.
1) I didn’t host a $75 million dollar wedding in a city that doesn’t want me there.
2) I didn’t drop massive bombs on a volatile area of the world
3) I didn’t try to gaslight the nation about needing to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize because of said bomb dropping.
4) I did make dinner at home and put up a cute display on a curb picked shelf.
