A Thrifty Week at Harvest Lane Cottage #30

Copyright Amy Lane Photography

It was a busy week.  I worked every day at the restaurant.  We had sick employees every day. I filled in for them.  It comes with being married to the owner. ~smile~  In one more week, we'll close for the season.  I'll have two or more months to practice being even more thrifty and frugal than I usually am. God is always faithful to take care of us.  Many times He provides in miraculous ways.  Thank you, God.  Here's how I was thrifty and frugal this past week:

~ I bought two unopened rolls of nice wrapping paper for a dollar at the thrift store.

~ I ordered a DVD that my child wished for from Swap A DVD.



~ I bought 50 lbs of potatoes at Aldi for $5.95.  We don't usually eat many white potatoes, but we're getting ready to go into a season where I'll need to be extra thrifty.  Our income this winter will be irregular at best.

~ I found some stocking stuffers at Dollar Tree.

~ I bought a pair of heavy work pants for my son at Salvation Army for $5.

~ Amy found holly in the yard and brought several sprigs in to decorate the house.

~ I bought 15 lbs of sweet potatoes for $4.95.

~ I earned a free book credit by sending a book through Paperback Swap.



~ I reused our artificial tree.

~ I made dishcloths from yarn that was given to me.

~ I filled up my gas tank for $2.17 a gallon.  Woo hoo!

~ I ordered a Bible to review in exchange for a free copy.

Well, that's all I can think of right now.  I encourage you to keep your eyes out for deals and make do ways to make Christmas for your loved ones.

Happy Kringling!

Blessings,
Laura of Harvest Lane Cottage
