Hey y'all!
I hope you're starting your summer well. I've dear friends visiting from out of town this week. It's so good to relax and enjoy time together as we catch up. We try to visit a couple times a year. We love you Smith ladies!
Let's catch up a bit shall we? Here are some of the thrifty things we've done lately.

🔸We borrowed a trailer to move. Thanks Ray!
🔸Free boxes from Wal-Mart for packing.
🔸Hubby fixed headlights on two vehicles! He saved over $100 by doing it himself. Thanks YouTube!
🔸He bought several loaves of bread 🍞on sale.
🔸We made French bread pizzas with the bread for Sunday night family dinner.

🔸We found a free piano on Facebook Marketplace. It was in better condition than our old piano.
🔸Dollar Tree had Cascade Platinum pods 4 to a package for $1.

ReplyDeleteYou truly are blessed with good friends and family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new house! And, yes, having your kids help move is fantastic. (Ours helped us move when we downsized last November).
ReplyDeleteI am slowly making my way back into the blogging world, only by reading blogs right now. I may end up writing again, but for now, I am enjoying just reading.
Blessings,
