Product testing is a way that I save money for thinking I need. I listed the site below I use. They have you test products on Amazon. They send you theprice of the site through PayPal. Today, I ordered a coffee grinder. Mine died, so I checked on here. I use my coffee grinder for the spices and mint. Savings: 26.98

If I find a sale on item I replace. I buy two. Example, my 4 slot toaster died on one side. This toaster was on clearance 2 years ago. I bought two for under 25.00. This toaster retailed for 75 dollars today. So that was a good investment. Savings 62.00 with tax and shipping.
Today, I broke yet another onion chopper. I am done. I have broken 5 of them this year alone. The company replaced 2 of them. I have a food processor and excellent knives, it is not a needed expense. One more piece of plastic.
Tonight, I made pea soup and a baked mac and cheese with ham and broccoli. I had a ham that needed to be used up. I don't like to store my meats in the freezer for more than 12 months. Ham is delicious in spilt pea soup, and mac and cheese. The family will be having ham and egg breakfast sandwiches.
We allot 600 dollars a year for cooking, heating, & household hot water. We will be 175.00 over this year if our usage continues. So, I will be using my instant pot, crockpot, solar oven, and wood baking oven a bit more. I have been using my nautral gas stove about 45 percent more than usual. The high winds makes it miserable to use my wood oven.
Our solar panels are doing their job. We are earning instead of paying for electricity. Our tiny house was an excellent investment. Air BNB rentals has paid for the entire structure. This month we turned 1800 dollar profit. A doctor had rented for the whole month and has requested to stay until April. I am not going to continue to renting the AIR BNB out all year. We are going to rent it during ski and hunting season. I find AIRBNB invasive on our property. It is nice to know that income is there AIR BNB was a a quick way to fund the cost of the guest house. I will say that our AIR BNB guest has been here since Feb 1 and will be here until April. He is a bit needy. I was soaking in the hot tub this evening with my husband and was miffed he was not allowed. I suppose he is lonely, however, I am never comfortable being in a hot tub with anyone but my husband. He had dinner with us last night. Our dog really likes him and he likes her. This morning, I went for my run, and he requested to come. I said no because I was running with the young man down the road who MY DOG is love with. The doctor asked my husband why he was comfortable with me running with such a young man. We both exclaimed, "Stella will run off with him for good." I like running with this man and his wife often comes as well. In the early morning, I feel safer with a running partner. I simply do not like our guest. This is the price you pay when you have an AIRBNB guest. So, yes, you have income stream sometimes, it is invasive. My husband is in charge of this guest.
Groceries this week with clearance, coupons, and produce bulk shopping was 210.00 for 18 days worth of groceries.
We played disc golf for gym class today. We have a great course near the grocery store. We also stopped at the library. Combining trips saves on fuel and wear and tear on the van.
