Happy frugal friday all!
My frugal wins for the week include:
- Paid off a credit card. We got a Lowes card about four months ago to purchase a riding mower. We got a nice chunk of money off the mower and had six months to pay it back interest free so we jumped on it. Paid it off in four months.
- Made a big pot of ham and beans on the weekend and had enough for lunches for most of the following week.
- Went out of town and prepped meals for the husband to make while I was gone so he and the kids wouldn’t be tempted to eat out every night. It mostly worked. :)
- Got a free ticket to Disney (any of the parks) but could not fathom using it for only 2-3 hours, since that is how much free time I had between other events on my trip. Decided to save that baby until spring.
Frugal Fails:
- Did not bring sunscreen or a hat with me to Orlando. Since I knew I would be spending several hours on boat I ended up buying a straw hat in the gift shop at Disney’s Yacht Club resort. Spent $32 on a hat. Ouch! And I still got burnt. Double ouch.
All in all a very good week! What frugal wins or fails do you have to report?
