Well done.<br /><br />This week I bought some cheaper items at the Reject Shop. Everything was just fine except I did not enjoy the oats.

My frugal things of late:<br /><br />* planted cucumbers, spring onion, cosmos, lettuce and cherry toms in our garden<br />* picked lettuce and herbs from our garden<br />* planted a salvia that I grew from cutting and gave another to a neighbour as a<br /> gift:) I've now potted up two new cuttings to see if they grow too.<br />* made a fortnightly meal plan and shopped/cooked for that<br />* baked choc chip cookies, peanut butter biscuits, sweet potato brownies, <br /> homemade muesli bars and pumpkin scones - most went into the freezer<br />* added 6 x bottles of our favourite pasta sauce to pantry as it was on a good <br /> special<br />* used 10% off discount + redeemed $20 worth of reward points off my grocery shop<br /> this week<br />* started sewing up a dress using fabric & cotton already in my stash<br />* finished knitting a washcloth and started another one. These will be xmas gifts.<br />* found three books for xmas gifts in a lovely little second hand bookshop<br />* received a gift card and a lovely nature DVD as gifts which was very generous<br /><br />Enjoy being able to go out and buy those plants you are wanting for your garden, Wendy. <br /><br />Meg:)<br /><br /><br /><br />Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573371198907761962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-49309507942105980682021-10-23T07:08:52.392+11:002021-10-23T07:08:52.392+11:00Sounds like a wonderful week.Sounds like a wonderful week.Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.com
