Good morning, ladies. I hope you are well. Nothing much going on here. Just the usual frugals. I have been working much harder on planning out meals and trying to let nothing go to waste. I was able to cherry pick some great deals at two local supermarkets. Still managed to go overbudget by $10 on groceries this week. But since we are so well stocked up, I think I can make up for it next week.

My big frugal yesterday was having DD1 cut my hair. She is a cosmetology student, and family get a 50% discount. So I got a shampoo, cut and style for $4.75! Today DD2 is going to get her hair cut.

Dinner tonight will be grilled cheese sandwiches, tossed green salad and cantaloupe. I made cherry Jell-O for dessert. I am trying to have meatless meals about 3 times a week to keep the food budget under control.

Well, I need to go hang my second load of laundry outside. Then off to give the house a good vacuuming and dusting. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Kathy
