Fourth Frugal Friday March 2024
Welcome to Frugal Friday!
My Frugal Week
As usual on Friday, we went downstairs to clean & declutter again. I threw out the last of the VHS tapes that we found and moved a long dresser against the wall where before it had divided the room. It opened up the space much more and will make it easier to move things in and out down there.
Timmy, our friend and garbage man, didn't come on Saturday, unfortunately. It was his wife's birthday and they had a family celebration. We had caught another possum for him to relocate, and had plenty of trash, but he is a good guy and he will be here on Sunday.
Bailey's Uncle Jody came on Sunday to shoot with some of his friends. He does so much for us and lives in the city, so being able to come here in the country to shoot with his friends is important to him and we are happy to comply.
On Tuesday we went to the bargain movie night at the local theater again. We watched Arthur the King, which is based on the true story of Michael Light, who with a team of three others competes in the Adventure Racing World Championship in the Dominican Republic.
Along the way a dog they name Arthur comes along for the ride and redefines what victory, loyalty and friendship truly means. We enjoyed the film and would definitely watch it again.
We went to Walmart afterwards and picked up some groceries as we were running low on breakfast items.
We went to McKay Used Books on Thursday with more books from Dad's office and received $66 in trade credit. Afterwards we went to the Samaritan Thrift store to shop. Bailey found several Torrid shirts for her resale business.

Watch on the Whippoorwill Holler channel as Miss Lori does her laundry with no electricity using the old ways, off grid. Watch here.
She uses both Fels Naptha and Zote soap to clean her laundry. We had three bars of the pink Zote soap, as I blogged about before, and the smell is amazing! She also mentioned using the Fels Naptha to spot clean her shoes and that is something I hadn't thought to do before.
That is al the news to report from here this week. How has your week been?
Thank you for dropping by my frugal blog, you are always welcome here.
We would love to hear all about your week in the comment section.

We watched and really enjoyed 'A Bear Named Winnie'. Hope you can find it and watch it. It was quite good.
ReplyDeleteOh, I will be sure to look that one up, Lana. We love a good movie.
DeleteNice work on the decluttering. We've done similar stuff. I've given away a ton on Buy Nothing, sold a few things on eBay, I've been meeting up with a lot of people (more free time, since I'm not working & doing some networking), lots of exercise, & trying to be thoughtful with our expenses.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like you're making good use of your time being laid off. Kudos to you.
Delete(Little Penpen) I love Whippoorwill Holler! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Lori has the most pleasant voice. I could listen to her all the time. :)
DeleteYou are being very frugal and getting things decluttered very well downstairs. Soon you will be finished. I will have to look up Mrs. Lori.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
She is a treasure, Jackie. I'm sure you will like her. :)
DeleteWhen I bought the bar of Zote, I opened it and had to rush it out of the house because I could barely breathe. The stink got to me.
ReplyDeleteOh, that is too bad, Linda. I know some people are very sensitive to perfume smells.
DeleteBoth of you girls are workers, catching possums is a great achievement. One time we were trying to catch a possum and caught a skunk. We had borrowed a trap from the preacher and were quite embarrassed to bring it back to him.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try and wach both you and Lana's movie picks. They both sound great!
Thank you, Vickie. Yikes on the skunk! I hope he didn't spray you all. Yes, I'm going to watch the one Lana picked out too, it sounds good.
