Online Ordering

 In my experience, I have learned if you put something into an online cart, then leave the site, you usually get an email stating you left something and get an extra 20% off coupon.

Now I assume you need to have an account with that site and logged in so they know where to send coupon code.

Thanksgiving leftovers

 We all love the leftovers.

This year I got the carcass.  Yep the bones and stuff.

My family knows me so well.

So today is turkey stock.

Plus I throw in all the leftovers veggies, or veggie scraps.

I also sauté carrots, onion, garlic to put in the actual soup

FB Marketplace

I am a big fan of thrifting, reusing, buying used.

I may (or may not) have a lot of yarn now and need to way to store it.

I got this idea after buying one for my college bound son.

I found closet hanging organizers on FaceBook Marketplace.  I thought I only need 2

The seller wanted to get rid of all of them.  So 4 organizers for $5.00.  Win

Wedding Gift

Now a days it is all about the registry.

But I decided to make an afghan for the young couple.  They love to watch movies at home.

Bought yarn on sale and stacked with a coupon.

A couple months later....gift.   It is heavy like a weighted blanket and I am told the couple loves it.

Was it super cheap, no. But it is high quality and paid the least amount possible plus my time.  I still think it is a good price for wedding gift

Forgotten apples

 I put a bag of apples in the crisper drawer of the fridge

The forgot about them

They were wrinkled

BUT, I made apple crisp and saved them from being thrown out.

I saved the peels and made apple jelly

Online Wine

 Online wine...Is it worth it?

The price was great.   15 bottles

6.33 per bottle including shipping

Variety

BUT not worth it for me because I did not care for most of the wines. 

However, I had a friend that can use the empty bottles and the box,  so at least it is not going to waste
