Entertainment
This week we watched an old movie, Dr. Dolittle, but it made both of us laugh out loud and that makes for a break from the stress and anxiety created by the pandemic.
We also had game night on Saturday as usual. Snacks included fresh broccoli and radishes along with my homemade ranch dressing and a freshly sliced apple. Games we played were Boggle, Crazy Eights, Sorry, and Exploding Kittens.
Reading my favorite blogs is also considered free entertainment, plus I get to "visit" with my virtual friends. There are links in the sidebar to many of them.
My Frugal Kitchen
We ate all of our meals at home this week, cooking from scratch and stretching leftovers, except for one meal.
This weekend was tax free weekend for restaurants and Papa Johns sent me a 40% off coupon to use. So, we ordered a Shaq-a-roni pizza and paid less than $10 for it.
We did a contactless delivery to the trunk of our car and sanitized the box when we got home.
We did not buy any groceries this week, although we did get a Misfits Market (MM) box on Saturday.
I thought I had cancelled my subscription, but this one sneaked through on me, but it is cancelled now. Getting this box reinforced my feelings about MM. The quality and quantity are not worth the price to me, so we're out.
As for groceries, we will be having a grocery delivery sometime this week as we are out of several things including eggs and bread. I thought we were out of cheese until I found one package in the freezer.
Trail Mix was on my mind this week, so I made a small batch using items we already had on hand. Peanuts, chocolate chips, raisins and pretzels. I also made a spice cake this week for dessert seekers.
One day I made tortilla chips to go with some chili I made during the week.
For dinner today I'm going to roast some vegetables. Beets, potatoes, carrots, red pepper, garlic, onions, and Brussel sprouts.
Beverages this week included a lot of iced tea, made here at home. I've been making two gallons at a time trying to keep up with my thirsty drinkers.
Other Frugal Activities
My Christmas cactus must be confused as it has a bloom on it this week.
My Dad had cataract surgery this week and I took him and waited in the car for him. Since I only wore my outfit for about an hour, I simply took it off when I got home and hung it back up. No need to launder it since I didn't wear it long.
That's all the news to report from here this week. I hope you have a wonderful week and that you find joy in the simple things. I hope everyone has a safe, healthy, and frugal week!
