My Abundant Life: This Week's Frugal Tasks Saturday 28th January 2017

My frugal list is quite small this week due to illness. After recovering from gastro last week I caught Darren's cold this week ( sharing is caring ). Combined with working three days this week plus organising food for an Australia Day bbq on Thursday, I'm suprised I had any strength left to do frugal things. Here is my oh so small list for the week-

* Gratefully received three parcels in the mail from blog reader Eden. In the parcels were some lovely greeting cards for me to repurpose in my card making. Thankyou so much Eden. Your thoughtfulness and kindness is appreciated.

* Gratefully received lots of card stock from fellow Cheapskater friend Carol. This lovely gift will certainly save me lots of money.

* Gratefully received lots of egg cartons and a few glass jars from a friend.

* Sold six dozen eggs to friends.

* Made 9 1/2 jars of raspberry jam. All this jam was made for free because I used raspberries and lemons from our garden and the sugar and jars were given to me.

* Sold one school text book.

* Made a batch of double strength Miracle Spray. I dilute it when I fill up the spray bottles.

* Did an extra cleaning job this week

* Saved the shower warm up water for the washing machine. Saved the washing rinse water for each next load of washing.

* Washed the rubbish bins using recycled water.

* Fed the compost bin with kitchen scraps.

* Picked lettuce from the garden for a meal.
