Kid's bulletin I stumbled upon this cool resource this past week and quickly printed off 100 for the kids at our church. The site is called The Kids' Bulletin and it's free! It's basically activities for kids to do based on the Sunday bible readings and saint days for the week. I saw a lot… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Plants on sale I was shopping at Kroger, and they had a shopping cart of plants on sale that were a part of their holiday gift section. I found two cute planters with a healthy succulent in each for just $2. **They also had orchids for $6, but I am practicing keeping the easier… Continue reading Frugal Things

Free Groceries I came home from church a few weeks ago to two bags of groceries on my doorstep. Bewildered we looked for a sticker or a receipt to figure out who it belonged too, but there was nothing in or on the bags. So I messaged Instacart (and posted on our community Facebook page)… Continue reading Frugal Things

Target clearance I love Target's clearance section because I usually find amazing things. One year I found an air conditioner for just $50! This time I found a set of branch clippers for $10 and five mixed media journal books for $2.50 each (those things are really expensive at normal retail prices!) Amazon ebooks I… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Luggage I ran into Kohl's yesterday to look for good deals on clothing and instead found this set of luggage on clearance for 70% off. Since our current set of luggage is almost 15 years old and starting to get a little threadbare, I decided to scoop this deal up. Oh and it has… Continue reading Frugal Things

Chicken This past week, my dad and my husband decided to process the overabundance of roosters that my dad had accumulated over his past hatchings. I am so glad that they enjoy doing that because I just could not stomach it! My husband brought home five well packaged roosters to stick into our chest freezer.… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Kittens and supplies We added two adorable kittens to our family:  Marya and Sonya. Apparently they are names from Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 (can you tell my daughter is a theatre fan??) A friend of ours was giving them away, so my kids have been patiently waiting for their arrival… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Puzzling problems... Like many people, one of the things that we are enjoying during this stay at home period are puzzles. I was lucky enough to buy a selection of puzzles the day before the stay at home order was announced and have been thankful ever since. However, I quickly realized that having only… Continue reading Frugal Things
