Fall projects/Craft show prep

Just a sneak peak at what I am up to.
I am making ornaments for a craft show
And fall decor for me
Stayed tuned

It is that time of year....

No, not just for crafts,
but for looking at our bills to see where we can save.
I switch Electric companies for 20.00 per month saving.
And switched cable companies for 40.00 per month saving.
But only for a year, must check back in or the bills will automatically go up.

So 60.00 a month for 12 months.
720.00 yearly savings.

Hair

Back in June I bought hair dye from a the clearance rack and used coupon.
I finally got around to doing my 'doo.
I trimmed off about an inch.
And dyed the hair, no more gray.
Oh, and now I have red/auburn hair

School Project or should we get a color printer?

Debate in my house...I want a color printer.
Hubby says not worth it.
I think he "May" be right (this time)
Can't beat the convenience of having one, but the ink....expensive.
So I am tracking what I spend on color printing..so far 1.00 for this project and I think 1.00 for another one.

Pretty good looking Food Web isn't it?

Meat 3

So, I went back to the store and chatted with another butcher.
I asked him to check to see if the meat I chose could be marked down.
He didn't really want to do it. But lo and behold, the scanner/computer thingy did mark it down.
I was grateful, complimented him and mentioned this is why I came back to this store.
 I had 4 gourmet burgers for about .70 each.  They were delicious.
And pretty big, very thick.
Hubby and child raved!

The other package was a tad more.  Mmmm, Bacon and Steak Burgers

meat 2/frugal dinner

The Nature Made chicken turned into this...
Chicken tenders/fingers.
Yummy.
Made some rice to go with it.
Frugal dinner.
Chicken 2.21
Egg, flour, beadcrumbs less than .50
rice .25
drinks (Ice water)
Less than 3.00
Served three and leftover (For lunch the next day)
I'd guess about .75 per serving

Meat

Meat, getting more and more expensive.
Even the "cheap cuts" aren't that cheap anymore
I chatted with the butcher at my grocery store and he told me when they do the mark downs.
Beef, 1 day before the sell by
Pork and Chicken 2 days before the sell by
Here is what I got today

Seasoned Pork Tenderloin 2.72.  Wow

and Nature's Promise, from 9.00 to 6.00 down to 2.21.  Yes please.

over budget

I needed a rug by my sliding glass doors.  Up until now, I have been using a towel on and off.
I spent $1.78.  Not bad, but I had hoped for a dollar or under.
I chose to go over budget because I felt that something better quality and that I liked better was worth it.
15% off, then 10.00 coupon.

More Free

Used a coupon.
Got 2 candles free.
They go into my gift drawer (Or I might enjoy one).
Great for teacher's gift, housewarming gift, hostess gift.
