day 12, 13 & 14: keeping it thrifty!

A few easy days here.  I simply followed my menu plan for the week and don't spend a dime!

I check the pantry and freezer frequently for items to get creative with and use up!
G for gross. being cheap doesn't always pay off!


A comical even occurred when I decided to pull out an older, half empty, container of shake mix from my pantry and have some for breakfast.  Most of you know that I take my health seriously and have gotten quite used to my delicious Shakeology every day.  Its delicious and gives me the energy i need, etc, etc..  Being frugal I was hoping to use up what was left of this container, so I mixed up a cup, took a sip and nearly got sick.  It was beyond terrible!  How did i ever force myself to drink this health-powder before?!?!?!  I can not even imagine buying another 'health shake' ever again :-p  Sometimes being frugal does NOT pay off if the cheaper product is DISGUSTING!  I chuckled at myself for quite some time that day.  Lesson learned!

This delicious dinner here is healthy AND frugal!  It was a freezer meal, a mushroom chicken for the crockpot, some roasted broccoli and whole wheat pasta!  It was so good my oldest got a teeny tiny bit aggressive regarding the leftovers ;)  She wanted to be certain they ended up in HER lunch the next day!  Funny.


A great and frugal few days.

Total spent: $0
