1/2 cp Powdered Nondairy creamer
dash salt
Mix, store in air tight container

When you are Frugal

When you are frugal, and others know it
They give you stuff.
Woo Hoo.  Free stuff.
Looky what I got.

Cheap Chicken

Chicken for 1.19 a lb.
Yes please
Depending how I prepare the chicken, I can get 2 possibly 3 meals from this
If I get 3 meals, it would be about $1.45 of meat per meal.

This post was written Nov 4th.  So the meat was not expired or past sell by date .

The Dark Side

I have crossed over to...
Cheapskate instead of frugal.
Shower curtain...
To begin with, it is probably from the dollar store.
I wash my shower curtain in the washer and just put it back up to dry.
I get annoyed having to loop it back on.
Well, this one had ripped a couple of the holes.
Did I spend a dollar on a new one? Nope.
I used packing tape to fix the rips.
Well, I didn't have to take it down and rehang one, so I saved myself a dollar and time and aggravation.
Cheap I tell ya

Hard to tell, but yep, packing tape around the hole and new hole punch in.
