Went to the store for milk
But I always scan the meat dept and the clearance area
Ground Beef 1.85 lb
I also found Progresso soups for .64 a can...label change.
Cooked about 2 lbs and had that in tacos for dinner, with plenty of leftovers. And Foodsaver for the rest.
Sell by is the 17th, I got it the 16th
Every once in a while I check and restock our first aid kits.
I was able to get brand named supplies at the dollar store this year.
One in each car and in each bathroom. (One kit not shown)
Being prepared saves time and money.
I have had 2 major crafty hobbies in my life...so far
Beading (Before it was cool)
And knitting/crocheting
I enjoy my hobbies, they bring me peace.
Also, I can sell what I make and have done so.
And I can usually get my supplies on sale, with a coupon or online market places for pretty cheap
Eg: I recently received a bunch of yarn for .33 cents a skein.
Here are some dishcloths I have made since Quarantine
I bet a lot of us have been doing puzzles.
And boy did their prices spike and not easy to get these days.
I have swapped puzzles with a couple women in my community.
I have gotten 4 puzzles done I didn't have to buy.
Puzzles online are going for 15 to 35 dollars plus shipping.
So I have saved at least 60.00 by swapping. I think more.
Here is my latest one we have done.
Butter
When on sale you buy it
1.79 each
So....I got 10 salted
2 unsalted
Now....it is not cut into quarters, but that's ok by me.
Can't beat the price. It freezes really well.
Some times you just get lucky.
I HAD to go to the grocery store today.
And look what I found.
Chicken .79 cents a pound.
3 big breasts in each pack.
Not expired. Not previously frozen.
AND they let me buy 4 packs of it.
I paid 6.72 for all four packs.
That's .56 cents per breast.
Let's see what I have around the house to make masks
Material I used 2+ yrs ago to make dance costumes.
Florist wire I used for crafting
Scraps of elastic cut from thick piece.
Masks made.
The florist wire in the top for a flexible nose piece.
Cost ZERO
