Sunday

Frugals this week eating from home mostly though we did cave yesterday and bought Taco Bell for lunch.

Friday night we made Sub pizza's and Sub sandwiches for dinner.  I found a Italian bakery that makes the best 8 inch sub buns so I usually buy a dozen of those freeze them and we use them every Friday night for our meals instead of buying take out pizza's.

Frugal today was coloring my own hair.. Revlon hair coloring at Kroger Marketplace was $2.99.  I never go to a hair salon, trim my own hair it's very long and I just trim it and go.  I always wear my hair in a pony tail as I can't stand having it flying around in my face and dh doesn't want me to get it cut short.  It has saved me literally thousands of dollars over the course of 20 years.  I also hate having hair stylist in my face talking, not cutting it the way I want or if I get a good stylist the next time I go back they are gone.

This past week I made blackberry jam and blackberry jelly from frozen fruit I bought at my store using my employee discount and coupons they sent me.  Made 13 jelly jar sized containers.

Tomorrow I also hope to find time to make cranberry jelly if not maybe on Thursday which is my next day off.

Good Things Come To Those Who Wait

I have been looking at a certain chest deep freezer for at least the last 6 months or so.  It went on sale about 6 weeks ago for $169 which I thought was great but decided to wait a little longer as I needed to clean space in the basement to fit it in.  Finally decided yesterday to get the freezer.  It had been marked down to $158 then they were having a extended Black Friday sales event so I ended up getting it for $140 including taxes.  It will be delivered tomorrow morning.  I have been finding such great deals at my store and literally at this point my stand up freezer is so full you couldn't fit a slice of cheese in there sideways I don't think.. what a blessing but need more space.

I bought 4 turkeys on Wed. this week for $5 to $6 each, would have bought more if I had had the room.  Just cooked one today which will be for meal planning and the dogs meals instead of buying them more expensive chicken meat.
