| Frugal is not an adjective
I would use to describe the last few days. Our 3 days in the Door County Peninsula cost about $500 (hotel, meals, gas, tourist stuff), but that was planned -- and well worth it!
What wasn't planned was the pump in our well going out the night before we left. So we had no water the morning we were to leave. DH had to buy a new pump and some electrical stuff, totaling about $400. That's just one of those "joys" of country living. The only frugal part was we didn't have to pay for any labor. DH & I pulled the pipe (all 1500 feet of it) and the pump out ourselves. Then later our son came by and helped DH stuff it all back in.
So I'll be trying extra hard to be frugal the next few weeks.
