My largest money-saving in the last two weeks was buying as little as possible and using what I already have. I used some samples of lotion that I have been wanting to use. They lasted me for a week. I made meals using what I had on hand. I cut roses from the garden to…
I harvested peppers, cherry tomatoes, eggplant, three huge zucchini, pomegranates, and roselle hibiscus. I harvested and set to dry peppermint and lemon verbena. I cut roses and zinnias from the garden to enjoy inside. I only planned to buy a little at the grocery store, but I made allowances to buy some macaroni noodles that…
I harvested basil and Swiss chard from the garden. I cut flowers from the garden to enjoy inside. I prepared meals from what we had at home. Though I know there are some sales, I’m trying to spend as little as possible right now and use what we have for the next several months. Several…
I cut zinnias from the garden to enjoy in the house. My parents found me a few things at garage sales, including two baskets for $1 each. I attended the opening night of a illusion museum with a friend with free tickets thanks to another friend. It was really amazing and we had a wonderful…
I cut a bouquet of flowers from my garden for my mother for her birthday. I cut green onions, parsley, and oregano, lemon verbena, basil, roselle hibiscus, and picked peppers and a zucchini from the garden. I took a daughter to the thrift store to find a pair of red pants for her Halloween costume….

I ordered a new pair of glasses for my daughter from Zenni Optical for just under $30, including anti-glare, tax, and shipping. I gave my seven-year-old “new” clothing from a box of clothes I had saved for him from his older brothers. He was wanting a couple of specific things, including a red long-sleeved shirt,…

I sowed seeds in the garden for cilantro and snow peas. I harvested basil, oregano, and lemon verbena, and I dried them all to use later. I painted two pots that I have had in my garden for over a decade with a primer plus paint from Rustoleum. They were looking very beaten down from…
