Food glorious food

My goodness the price is going up and up
And so is my son's appetite
Cereal, easy breakfast but not the most frugal, so when it goes on sale I buy.
Able to get Brand name for 1.12 a box!
Sale+coupon+Catalina at Giant last week

School supplies

As I mentioned in my previous post, we had all the supplies we needed.
That is mostly due to what my son brought home again this year.
Highlighters never opened, 2 packs of 3 sticky notes.
Tons of used pencils, and there is nothing wrong with the colored pencils we bought him a couple years ago. Also, packs of pencils never opened.  Full glue sticks and more.

Back to school shopping

Back to school shopping and of course I started at the Goodwill.
School supplies there! I hadn't thought of that.  We had everything we needed already except 1 binder.
The one he needs runs 7.99 at Staples and higher in other places.  
1.97 at Goodwill.
Of course I got clothes as well.
3 bottoms, 4 tops, all brand name $16.00.  That is what some would pay for just on shirt.

Frugal? Is it worth it?

Frugal tile cleaner.  I have all the ingredients at home, so...
I chose the baking soda and bleach method.
Did it work?  Yep sure did.  Looks great.
Would I do it again?  NOPE. Even with the window open, the fumes got to me.  Burned my throat.
Next time I will try the vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda.
Now, yes it is frugal, but it is work.  I scrubbed those bathroom tiles for two hours. And it took a couple moppings to get all the residue off.  I have the smaller hall bath to do next.  We well see how it comes out.
Picture is blurry, but you can see the difference 

Left it clean, right is dirty
