So here are a few of the frugal-ish things that happened here this past week.......
* Been eating all the Christmas leftovers this week when not using gift cards for take-out. No food waste so far. ;-)
* Santa was very good to me last week........
3 gift cards, a 6 pack of craft beer, a bottle of Prosecco(+ a can of peaches to make Peach Bellinis), a new calculator, a set of ginormous wind chimes(not pictured), a set of cat butt fridge magnets, some tea packets, some mints, fridge clips, mailing tape, a magnifying glass(thanks Hubs!lol), 2 tins of homemade candy(mmm), a cat butt coin purse, a tin with emergency underwear(make me feel even older than I do Sissie!), reusable bubbles to pop, and some hazelnut choccies.
Now everyone needs to gear up because my birthday is 3 weeks away and I expect even MORE presents! LOLZ
* Christmas was a lowkey affair here. Most of the family(missing my daughter and her hubby in Louisiana)were here. We had appetizers and a modest meal mostly from foods I had here. The salt cured ham and fresh produce were the only new purchases. Everyone left full and happy.
* Took up another donation to the food bank. Another 40 items out of the house and with rebating/coupons this stuff cost me pennies if that.
There was also a trip to Salvation Army to drop off another 20 items to donate as well so the decluttering continues......
* I found money!
Sissie put .41¢ in the cat butt coin purse she gifted me on Christmas.And this nickel at Walmart.
John Batiste is an incredible talent. We saw him at a small local venue several years ago and figured we would never be able to see him in concert for 15 bucks again.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
I just noticed that my sister has the same Cat butts coin purse for her poker/game money. She bought it at one if our sisters weekends about five years ago. I'm always so amazed at what your able to donate and spend so little. You're a gift to your community.
ReplyDeleteA cat butt coin purse? How funny! I’m glad you got to watch the Downton Abby film. There is a new one coming soon that I’m excited about. They’ve been advertising it a lot already, so You’ve probably seen it. :)
ReplyDeleteI miss, miss, miss you cat butt coin purse and all.
