Thursday, Thrifty Thursday, another chart!

 

I completed another chart and will be lucky if I get one more filled by the end of the year.  Last year I was able to fill 24 of these charts, so covid and the move have really affected my savings goals.  Hopefully next year will be better.  But I am happy that I have done this much.

I still need to get into the shop and clean it, but so far have not talked myself into the job😀

Today both hubs and I are going up to daughters to help with Oliver who seems to have a bad case of colic.  I guess he cried most of the morning after he ate.  They have tried different formulas and tomorrow we are going to try gripe water.  I let my youngest B suck on a peppermint stick when she was a baby as she was colicky. B has had him to the doctor and they can find nothing wrong.  My eldest daughter's second son was very colicky for months.

We finally had some decent grocery prices this week and I did some stocking.  This is how I keep my grocery budget as low as I do. I am always looking for ways to save money.

Thrifty Thursday:

1. Made all meals from scratch and ate at home.

2. Put all my loose change in my pig bank.

3. Used coupons at Joanns passed savings on to me and charged the client.

4. Added $50.00 to my $5 dollar bill savings up to $365.00

5. Cut up my Halloween pumpkin and roasted it and then froze for pie later.

6. Found coupons in Sunday paper that corresponded with in store coupons to get canned vegetables for .25 a can.

7. bought peas, corn and green beans  for lowest season price so bought 12 cans of each

8. Stocking butter at $1.47 a pound this week will go everyday as limit to one a purchace

9. earned a Turkey for only $3.50 out of pocket  gave to Bishop as I had no room and we already have our Turkey in the freezer.

10. Onions and potatoes are super cheap right now so bought  enough to get through Christmas. Usually we go down to Southern Idaho and pick these up for little to nothing, but with covid not going.

11.Went to rite aid and bought a few things I really needed and earned 9.00 in bonus cash I will use before Christmas, probably on black Friday.

12. I went to 5 different stores today to get the lowest prices on many items.  We live in a very small town so gas is not an issue.

13. Bought some groceries in Washington to save on tax.

14. Used a $10.00 of $50.00 or more at Winco lowering my bill on the canned veggies I bought.

What did you do this last week to save money?

Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are in the negative.
