Fourth Frugal Friday of June 2023
Welcome to Friday!
Quote of the Week
My Frugal Week
Last Friday we went to ten different yard sales. Bailey picked up 120 pieces of inventory for her online shops and only paid $1.00 each. One of the things I picked up was a small tv set with a dvd player. It came to my attention recently that we need one when we have company, and I was able to pick this up for only $20.
Saturday was a busy day in the kitchen. I woke up at 7:30 and went in there to work and didn’t sit down until after 3:00 o’clock. Of course, I was going in and out doing other things like garbage, laundry, and ironing/steaming.
On Sunday we decided to have a spa/tea day. We bought our paraffin wax melter second hand a few years ago and we often find wax for it in the second hand markets as well. Using the waxer makes our hands so soft and smooth. Bailey also did her elbows and you can also do your feet.
On Monday I had two doctors appointments and had to get an injection in my eye again. He said my eye was better this time than last time, but I figure that was because I returned in four weeks instead of six.

Avoiding Spending
We were unable to avoid spending any money this week as I needed to fill up my car with gas, we went to multiple yard sales, and I bought a watermelon to enjoy this week.
Saving Money In My Frugal Kitchen
I’ve been in use it up mode lately and used up a box of green tea that I had on hand by making a half gallon of it and keeping it in the refrigerator.
I soaked some dry garbanzo beans/chick peas for chicken salad one day. We had that for lunches several days his week.

Wow you guys sound very productive. The spa day sounds nice - I give myself every now and then. I am so sorry you have to have those shots - gosh, that sounds so painful. Take care and have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Cheryl. Spa days are very relaxing and a fun way to spend the day. The shot is over in just a second, but I honestly dreaded it for about two weeks leading up to it this month. 😢
DeleteI hope you have a wonderful weekend too!
So true sometimes you have to spend money in order to save money Belinda. What a good week you had.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Vickie. I hope you had a good week too.
DeleteGreat deals for Bailey!
ReplyDeleteWhen our family goes back to their homes I plan on having a complete spa day at the house.
Thank you, Anne. Oh, a complete spa day will be luxurious. I hope you enjoy it!
DeleteI hope that the injections are helping and that your eyes will soon be better.
ReplyDeleteGreat deal on the inventory, and I hope Bailey will make a nice profit.
The home spa day sounds like fun although I have never been to an actual spa. Guess I'm not too girly as I don't want a manicure and especially not a pedicure or massage (too ticklish ;)
Hope you have a great weekend.
Thank you so much, Kathy. The doctor said my eye was better this time than it was last time, so I'm happy about that. Bailey asked me if I waned a manicure, but I declined. I wash dishes all day long it seems like and it would not last under those conditions. LOL I hope you have a great weekend too.
DeleteMidsummer murders has about 18 seasons on freevee
ReplyDeleteThank you, I’ll be sure to check it out. 😊
DeleteOh may Bailey did very well. I haven't gone to any yard sales this year and really should start to do so.
ReplyDeleteI bought a small TV years ago with an internal DVD. We take that on holidays all the time, I also have it in my sewing/craft room so as if I am in there for any real length of time I can watch/listen to something as I work.
God bless.
Thank you, Jackie. We love going to yard sales. I enjoy watching a show or listening to one while I’m working like that too.
DeleteHi Belinda
DeleteOften visit but am a silent reader
Midsummer Murders is a British crime series that is fun to watch - the guest actors are usually good, which makes up for the many plot holes. The scenery is also beautiful- think Thatch cottages and beautiful gardens
So give it a go

Hi Mary, it’s so nice to hear from you. I started the first episode of Midsummer Murders last night and really enjoyed it. We lost power after a storm though, so I’m going to finish it tonight. I really enjoyed what I was able to watch though, so thank you for letting me know about it.
DeleteYou have had a great week around your home Belinda and what great bargains you both found too. You are not having it easy with the eye injections. Praying it will be a while before treatment needed again. God bless I so enjoy reading your updates. We have had very warm weather here very humid. This morning ots about 15 c. I qhve all doors windows op3n . Love the cool air.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your kind words. We live in a very humid area too, so I know what that feels like. Having all the doors and windows open when it’s cooler feels so good. I love mornings like that. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 😊
DeleteI was showing up as anonymous Belinda! Didn't realise. Wishing you a great week. God bless
DeleteBlogger does that sometimes. It happens to me too sometimes when I comment on other people’s blog. I wish there was an easy fix for it.
Delete(Little Penpen) you and Bailey remind me so much of me and my daughter when she lived nearby. I miss having a running around partner. She scored quite a bit of inventory. Keeping you both busy, right? I hope your eyes continue to improve. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHow neat, Penny. Bailey and I do enjoy running around together. Yes, her inventory keeps both of us busy for sure. Thank you for the good wishes about my eyes. I appreciate that so much. I hope you have a great weekend too. 😊
