Frugal Friday #2 of December 2021

Welcome to Friday!

My Frugal Week

The mailman couldn’t deliver a package to our mailbox the other day, so I went to investigate and we ended up going to town to drop off packages and made a Walmart run. Bailey was able to get us some free plant based burgers via Ibotta. 


Last week Burger King celebrated their 65th year in business and celebrated by allowing everyone to order one Whopper for 37 cents. Which was the original price of the Whopper when they first opened. 

We put up our Christmas tree on Sunday and I wrapped the presents I’m giving and placed them under the tree. I’m still waiting on one present in the mail, but other than that I am done shopping for Christmas. 

We hung laundry on the clothing rack to dry rather than run the dryer. 

Question of the Week

Why are people surprised at the cost of produce when it is out of season? One way people save money is to eat with the seasons. 

Here In Tennessee the season for strawberries is in May. If you want to save money, buy what you can afford when they are in season and preserve them however you like and then enjoy them all year long. That way you won’t have to pay $7 per pound for them In December when they are out of season. 

On the Blog...

I updated my Cornbread Dressing recipe page to include directions on how to make the cornbread. Bailey has been making a list of recipes we want to make for Christmas and thought it was confusing the way I had it, so hopefully it makes better sense now.
