Frugal Friday- December 21

Making small changes that have big results.

On Friday’s I share 5 frugal ideas to help you maintain The Sweet Life on a Budget.

 These things will have money saving ideas and/or a way to enhance your lifestyle for

very little money.

Neighbor Gifts- I spent 1 afternoon baking and putting together a few neighbor gifts to

share the holiday spirit.  Since, like everyone else, I am on a budget, I didn’t have a lot

of money to spend on this project, so I made some of our favorite cookies and put them

on a plate with a little candy I picked up last week on sale.  This made a thoughtful gift

for my neighbors who really enjoyed it.

I made a big pot of Chicken Noodle Soup using the leftover vegetables from the week,

homemade stock and chicken from the freezer.   Dinner for next to nothing.

I shopped at my local discount grocery store for the monthly stock up items. This is

always tricky because I need to set a strict budget and stick with it, but now there is no

need to drive across town for a whole month.  

Packed snacks and dinner for Friday night when we had a local meet.  No Stupid Tax this week.

I was feeling a little dehydrated and needed to boost my level of water intake, so I

made a point of packing a refillable bottle of water for lunch and to have around the

house.  

So what small things did you do this week to save money?  Share below in the

comment section.
