My ribs and chest muscles are feeling a lot better. My fall getting out of the bathtub as I was holding my tablet and I had injured my left foot the week before. I got up very early this morning unable to sleep. I decided to do yoga on the front lawn at the break of dawn. I walked 3 miles on my treadmill.
I processed a ton of zucchini and beets for the freezer. I made a zucchini lasagna for dinner and one for the freezer.
I made yogurt and ricotta cheese. I enjoy making these products and storing them in glass containers. If you are seeking to reduce your household waste, bringing in less waste is one of the answers.
I made 12 jars each of peach, blueberry, apricot, and strawberry jams. I made 24 jars each of BBQ sauce and mustard. I canned 52 jars of green beans, 12 pints of corn, and 24 quarts of tomatoes.
I am canning a bit differently this year. I am canning and freezing fruits that I glean from orchards(with permission). I usually can when things are getting wild. Considering I normally can 1500 jars a year. I usually can for 3 weeks straight all day.
I dried my lemon balm, lavender, catnip, and mint for tea. I have a full year's supply
Frugal Friday money tips:
Know where your income goes before you decide to save and whittle down debt.
Make a budget. I budget 900 dollars a month for groceries all year. This includes the seeds, and canning supplies. I will have months I spend far less and months I spend more.
Be frugal, not cheap. Buy the best you can afford for the things you use the most. Mattresses and shoes are the first that come to mind. You want a bed that is comfortable and shoes that are well-fitted and attractive. Cheap items cost you more in the long run.
I have been waiting a while for a Casper California King to go on sale.I ordered one today on a lightening deal on Amazon. My online survey work paid for it. The tiny home that we are renting out is furnished with estate sales, my castoffs, etc. Our guest room furniture is in the tiny house. So, our bedroom set is going in the guest room. Our new set gets here on Thursday.
Make your own mixes, and freezer meals if it helps you manage your kitchen and avoid ordering out.
Hold companies accountable when a warranty do not last. I received a full -refund when our freezer didn't last the 5- year warranty. I purchased a new freezer and had money less over.
Etsy has reversed their decision not to cover me over the buyer's protection. I demanded they look at the pictures again. I sent them copies of my bank reversing the charges. I also sent them a copy of what the post office said about the seller using a US address to avoid duty tax. I still closed my Etsy account.
Pick up a copy of The Tightwad Gazette. It is extreme, but you will learn to save money and think outside the box.
The library is a great place to borrow all minds of things besides books.
