Saving on things we buy:
- Can't really think of anything. We made a menu, bought things off of our list, and tried to avoid spending beyond that. For food, we've been eating well:
- White chicken chili soup
- Eggroll in a bowl
- Carnitas
- Carnitas nachos (oh, yes! So delicious)
- We did buy some alcohol in California before we drove here, as the taxes make is significantly cheaper. Less expensive happy hour!
- We also picked up a few items we needed here, as there's no sales tax.
Earning money:
- Sold patio chairs & a waffle maker on the local Facebook site, making $60
Avoiding spending
- We've done low key activities like walks on the beach, runs through the state park, playing rummy, and watching movies.
- I used mint that I wrapped in a wet paper towel when we left California, and it was still fresh. I like to use it in water with a bit of lemon juice.
- Worked out with a free yoga video, on a drizzly morning
That's it from our side. What frugal wins have you had lately?
Nice! It sounds like your beach trip is near perfect!
ReplyDeleteNot much frugal here, was a spendy week with a big grocery shop in person where I probably spent at least $50 more than if I had ordered online as it was so refreshing to put whatever I wanted in the cart (completely unlike me). I sold an old flag that I had previously bought at the thrift store for $3, used one year then realized it was too faded. Put on bidding site for free and it got bid up to $6 so doubled my money (ha ha enough for 2 loaves of bread) but hey, you need to count that as a win! Mint - I need to grow some. I can't drink still but like the idea of it in water
