Frugal Accomplishments This Week

I returned some things I've had sitting in the closet for months to Lowes. I used the gift card from that to buy supplies to make blocks for the kids for Christmas (I'm hoping to post pics and what I did when they are finished, but it could be a while as I'm sanding by hand).

I needed a dolly to move my container plants indoors for a freeze. My mom gave me a 25% off coupon for Harbor Freight and a free scissors coupon. Plus the dolly was on sale.

I used that dolly to haul in a trash-picked bookshelf. It's super sturdy, and it's been sitting out in the alley for weeks. I haven't decided yet if I'll paint it and bring it in for a bookshelf or use it in the garage for storage.

I folded and reused a piece of foil.

I started using Swagbucks again.

My mom sewed a new outfit for DD, and I watched most of it, because I'd really like to learn to sew. I saved the scraps to try to make a doll quilt eventually.

I made popsicles out of green smoothie.

I roasted pumpkin seeds (yes, we finally got around to carving our pumpkins).

We enjoyed an afternoon at the park just before a cold snap.

I renewed library books online because we missed our usual library day. No late fees!
