Facet Notice: For those who missed final week, I reshared that we’re at the moment within the strategy of promoting the homestead to maneuver right into a tiny dwelling (camper) to journey and do ministry work in rural locations. 

Meal Highlights

This week was an attention-grabbing one for meals. I informed the children we’re taking part in a recreation now. The sport is to see what sort of meals THEY could make from what we’ve.

I’ll say, they got here up with some attention-grabbing issues BUT we’re consuming up what we’ve so we are able to proceed to keep away from going to the grocery retailer proper now.

Purchasing We Did

I did a big purchasing journey this week to work on some issues we want for the longer term. Our beds within the camper are all completely different sizes than what we’ve in the home so we wanted all new bedding. I additionally wanted some pet provides for our kitty and pup that might be on the highway with us. Let’s simply say, it was not an inexpensive journey to the shop!

Nevertheless, we’ve been promoting lots of the issues that we don’t plan on utilizing once more so we’ve been utilizing all of that cash to purchase the issues we want for the longer term. It’s a pleasant strategy to do issues…you get to wash up on the similar time you get to purchase what you want!

How We Lived Frugal This Week

As I discussed above, this was a giant week of promoting issues that we didn’t want. It’s been a good way to wash out!

We stayed away from shopping for groceries…we plan to do this for the subsequent 3 weeks no less than to work on consuming up the “random” stuff that we aren’t preserving or taking after we journey. It’s a problem for certain however once more, I’m having fun with the cleansing out.

We’re additionally taking day out of our busy week to spend time with family and friends. All of this is freed from course! It’s at all times good to spend time with individuals you care about when you may. We so sit up for lastly with the ability to do extra of this as soon as our busyness dies away.

One thing frugal that I did this week that doesn’t appear frugal in the intervening time however will repay, in the long term, was to spend a bit extra on a number of the issues I purchased whereas purchasing (pet beds, sheets, a number of clothes articles, and many others) to get the next high quality merchandise that can final us for much longer.
