My Frugal Ways this Past week,What Was On the Dinner Table and My Goals for the Week 10/2/16



I took iced tea that I got for free from Meijers on my picnic with friends to the apple orchard.  It rained us out but we just had a good time anyway.   We have been getting together just about every month.  We take turns hosting and deciding where to go.    

Grilled extra hamburgers to freeze.

I filled out the Kroger survey.

I harvested lemongrass and lavender.  I just hung them up to dry. 

I clipped last and this week's coupons last night.  I already have my Meijer list ready to go shopping this week.

This past week seemed extra busy and to even think about couponing with sales gave me a headache!  I love that I can go to Aldi's and feel like I'm saving money without worrying about that. I also love that it is a smaller store and I can be done fast.
