Frugal breakfast
There is just no doubt eating at home is cheaper.
This breakfast was less than a dollar. 2 waffles, 1 egg, 3 sausage links and hashbrowns.

YEP, that 18k gold leaf wreath
I made a wreath years ago and blogged about it.
Gathered the pine cones
Painted them, (Mix up with online ordered resulted in free paint)
Free paint was 18k gold leaf
Here is the link from 2013

Wreath still in use, so what little money I spent, I have certainly gotten my money's worth.

Price of a meal
Tin foil chicken and veg.
BIG breast of chicken on a bed of potatoes, carrots, onions. Baked in oven 45 min.
Brownies for dessert.
I can tell you, dessert is 7 cents a serving.
The brownie mix I got on sale, plus 2 eggs, oil and water.
The whole batch was .83, cut into 12 pieces.
Dinner for 4. We only have 3, but I like leftovers.
1.68 per serving.
So dinner was 6.72. Kind of pricey by my standards.
BUT if I spent that for dinner for a week. 7 nights, it would be $47.04. Basically the price for 2 people to go out once to a mid range restaurant.
So, eating at home is the most frugal choice. And Healthier.

Breakfast December edition
Last weekend, my son wanted french toast.
So I made some
and then some.
It is not any extra time or effort to make a big batch, freeze it.
Now my son can just pop them in the toaster during the week.

Typical Frugal Day
I do indeed practice what I preach.
Load of laundry consisted of cloth napkins and cloth towels instead of using paper towels.
