Practically free

 Well... very frugal

I found yarn on FB Marketplace for out 75% off retail price (cheaper even if I had used a coupon)

So, of course, I bought it

And was able to make a super soft blanket for a friend 

Never hurts to ask

Found meat to be marked down at my local Giant.  Meat Manager said he could not sell it to me, expired, but they freeze it and send to food bank.  Umm ok.

So I asked about the Policy

He thanked me for finding the expired meat and offered to mark down fresh meat 50%

COVID Crafts

I taught myself to crochet during lockdown

I have been able to sell some of my dishcloths and make gifts for friends and family

I buy the yarn for FB Marketplace.  I got a whole garbage bag for 5 dollars!

I made an afghan from it

Soap Saver

 My cousin mentioned a soap saver

So I made one...ok two

One big for a bar of soap and a small one for me for all the little shards I have saved

And also made a little soap mat
