On the yogurt making, I only used powdered milk and it turned out fine. I have to be honest though and admit, I haven't made any in a long time. I buy 5 a week at Aldi's at 35 cents each, someday I might get motivated to make it at home, it would be much more economical and healthier. I think I figured it out to 8 cents each serving.
Yesterday's frugalness: Made dinner for the week.
Menu:
Johnny Marzetti
Tuna Casserole
Sloppy Joes
Macaroni & Cheese to go with fish
Salmon Fish w/ frozen veggies that has pasta in it.
so all I have to do when I go home from work is pop it in the microwave and dinner is served in less than 20 minutes.
I went to Joann's yesterday afternoon and bought on clearance balm pots and made perfume balm last night. I already had the beeswax and petroleum jelly, just heated on low added Sweet Pea fragrance oil and made 7 pots of perfume balm.
I also went to the Goodwill and sad to say, there is no more 50 cents clearance section
they do have 50% and 75% off weekly sales and I found 2 pairs of kids jeans for $1.00 a pair for my purses. Still not too bad.
They did have one awesome deal though, they sell Target stuff and they had a huge amount of neon colored travel soap dishes in neon pink, green and yellow. These are kind of neat, they have a push button and it opens from the top. Anyways, they were 25 cents a piece and I bought about $5.00 worth of them. I will use them to put my soaps in for the mall, much easier than trying to wrap them. I'll put a label on the bottom with the description and ingredients and customers can just push the button to see what the soap looks and smells like.
Well guess that's all for now. Vjumpstart, glad to see you finally found us. I have wondered how your trip went and what was happening with you.
Sure hope leasmom is doing o.k. she should be about ready to hit the road.

Am being frugal today, by taking the bone and some ham pieces, from my smoked ham sunday, and begining some split pea soup. Yuuuuuumm!!
