There was nothing this week that was massively frugal, at least – not for me. But here are five little frugal things I did to save money this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Shopped the ‘clearance’ aisle at the grocery store. This week I got some Gum Recession toothpaste for 25% off. I just went to the dentist this week, and gum recession was a discussion. I can feel like I’m doing something about it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I ate only leftovers for lunch for the last four days. I go back and forth on leftovers. I always feel virtuous if I eat leftovers for lunch (or breakfast, or dinner) but many leftovers just aren’t as good as they were originally. One of my favorite things to do is look at the list that’s on the fridge and see if I can give leftovers an upgrade. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I planned three dinners that use food that we already have in the house, specifically from the freezer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. We had an, only funny in hindsight, accident earlier this week which ended up with about a gallon of laundry detergent on the floor of my laundry room. Instead of mopping it all up and using new laundry detergent, I wiped it all up with rags and have been putting one of these ‘detergent rags’ into each load as I’ve needed to do another load. Just because laundry detergent was on the floor, doesn’t mean it can’t be used. It’s a little like the 5 second rule…for detergent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. I waited to go grocery shopping until I had to drop The Kid off somewhere else, saving gas by only doing one run.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These are all little things. But that’s the point. I have been working for a while on making little decisions that support my goal of wasting less money. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
