It is finally starting to warm up here although the wind has been vicious and I am really pretty much over it.Â
Here are some of the things I have done this past week to save money. Some things only save a few pennies but every little bit adds up.
- Hung clothes out to dry.
- Made bread.
- Canned several pints of green chili.
- Bought a ready to butcher pig.
- Canned some blueberries that were in the freezer to make room for the pig.
- Fermented feed for the pigs and chickens.
- Averaging about 9 eggs a day from the chickens.
- Cut my own grass.
- Used a few coupons at the store.
- Paid some more on my credit card.
- Tended my sourdough starter ( hoping to make bread with it this week)
- Added more tin cans to the can ( we will take these to the scrap yard with the rest of the metal when we get enough. It doesn’t pay a lot but every penny counts.
- Washed out some used baggies to reuse
- Was gifted some rhubarb from a friend.
- Worked some more on the water project.
- Made sure lights were all out in rooms not in use.
- Cooked all meals from scratch.
- Staked the goats out to eat grass.
- Got eggs oiled and in the fridge for long term storage.
- Planted the tops of some pineapples to try and start my own pineapple plants.Â
- Used the fuel points from City market for 90 cents off on gas.
- Added more tin cans to the bucket to take and sell.
- Added more aluminum and cans to the aluminum can.
- Ate leftovers from the night before for lunches.
That might have been about it.Â
