Welcome to another thrifty week at Harvest Lane Cottage. I am honored by your visit. Each week I share my thrifty and frugal projects, ways of saving money, and my blessings from God.
I am so glad you dropped in for a visit today—or tonight!
I have enjoyed meeting so many ladies over the past few weeks.
I love it when y'all leave comments, so I can meet you and see your blogs, too.

Here's my thrifty week:
~ I grocery shopped at Aldi first.
~ We enjoyed two meals of leftovers from the kids' spring banquet Saturday evening.
~ We celebrated Mother's Day and my birthday at home.
~ I carried my water bottle.
~ I Made Super Quick Super Cheap Laundry Detergent
~ I refilled my liquid foaming soap dispensers. I am now using one in the kitchen as well as one in the bathroom. I used dish soap for the kitchen dispenser so that I can put a little on a wet cloth to wash dishes or just wash my hands with it. I used some body wash that I got for Christmas in the bathroom. Put about a half an inch of liquid soap in the bottom, fill the bottle with water until you're about half an inch below the pump, and shake.
~ We used some of the homemade soap I made a few months ago.
Birthday blessings abounded including my first pedicure, gel manicure, facial and haircut, lunch out, dinner out, books, clothes, candles, flowers. I even had a surprise party with friends.
Thank you everyone!
Have a terrific week!

DeleteIt's the little savings that add up to the big savings. We tend to celebrate special occasions at home too. Always sweeter I think.
