Frugal Each Day 10/24

Frugal Each Day keeps my job away!  Still keeping heads above water without going back to work and THAT is a good thing.  Keeping it in mind today is especially important because it's spending planning day!  Today felt like it was full of frugal accomplishments.



This morning I have already checked the account and paid bills.  That is a really good feeling!  Filled my tank of gas and Travis will after work.  There will be enough left over to get groceries for the week and put money in Hannah's lunch account!  It's one of those pay days where everything falls in line.  YAY.

Sent packed lunch with Sophea.  She is always so happy to help me pack her lunch.  And not only does it save us money but it gives Sophea more time to eat at school.  No need for her to waste part of her lunch standing in line.  She can go straight to the table and eat.  Plus if she has any of her fruit or veggies left she eats them after school on the way to pick Hannah up.  That might be her favorite part of packing her lunch!

Babysat the squishy little baby today.  Get paid for the week today.

Made my own coffee at home.

Listed 3 things on Mitchell Area Trading post



Ali made pancakes for lunch from the home made pancake mix.



Added home made oatmeal packets to the grocery list for next week. 



Found idea for make your own oatmeal packets on The Yummy Life Blog

Cleaned/Air dried grapes and put them in the freezer in freezer bags.  Frozen grapes make an awesome addition to school lunch bags!



Meal plan for the week (below copied and pasted from Make Life Beautiful).  Creative Kitchen is when I take time in the morning to look at our leftovers and ingredients we have that haven't been used to make a meal using what we have.  Things in orange are recipes I need to look over for making the grocery list.
