Frugal Five: #53
The Frugal Five: #53
With inflation on the rise and our salaries not being able to keep up, it seems like we have taken a pay cut and must be more careful with our money. The Frugal Five is a series where we celebrate the daily or weekly activities that help us live a frugal life.
1- Brown Bag It
Eating out is so expensive and when you order out at work there is an added charge because you do not have time to pick it up. This charge can be as much as doubling your cost. I packed my lunch daily and enjoyed a delicious gourmet lunch.
2- Crockpot to the Rescue
This week is really busy so I am dusting off my crockpot, so that my dinners are finished when I get home. This will help me to avoid takeout this week.
3- Garden Planting
Several of my tomato plants didn’t make the transplant to my garden, so I reached out to my gardening group to see if anyone had extra plants for me to purchase. My group came through again with a bunch of free plants. Yippy!
4- Church Luncheon
