Make do

 I am unable to drive due to knee injury, so I can't pop to the store whenever I want.

I wanted onion dip for chips.

Did not have a packet of that soup.

So I made my own.

Yes, it was the best I ever had.

Did not have beef bouillon granules, so I made my own from a cube.

DIY if you can

 I had heavy cream in my fridge, then I injured my knee, then went on vacation

It was getting old

So I made butter so it wouldn't go to waste.

Easy Peasy, especially if you have a stand mixer

Towel over the top to reduce splashing.

Save that buttermilk, great for biscuits

Bargin Bin

 Remember a few years back when I bought 3 winter coats for under 5 dollars each?

Well, this time I got 15 pairs of undies for 3.62 at Boscov's.

Went in for a bra, they were too expernsive, but found undies instead.

FoodSaver day

 I have had my Foodsaver for years

Today was a freeze day.

Bananas on sale, I freeze them for banana bread or smoothies,

Freezing leftover Mac and Cheese

And the meat that was on sale

More free

 Again with the Buy Nothing site

I acquired these reusable dish cloths.  They have a bit of texture for scrubbing.
