Third Frugal Friday of June 2023
Welcome to Friday!
My Frugal Week
Last Friday our local thrift store had their monthly buggy sale where you can fill a buggy for $20. Bailey went and was able to pick up seventeen articles of clothing and a few pieces of small Tupperware for the kitchen.
We took down the bathroom curtains this week and washed them. When they were dried there was a small tear in one of the panels, which was quickly taken care of on the sewing machine.
I ordered some Bilberry Extract, Lutein, and Zeaxanthin from Puritan’s Pride this week. One of the books I’m currently reading, Live Better, Longer mentions bilberry for improving night vision and good eye health. Puritan’s pride has a great article about eye health and foods to eat to improve your eye health, and they offer discounts on vitamins and free shipping with certain orders.

One dish we’ve been making lately is cottage cheese bowls. One of the ladies I follow on TikTok (Tanya ~ takingmylifebackat42) makes these meals, so I tried the Taco cottage cheese bowl and it was good, and on Monday I made the lasagne bowl. Both were good, but I preferred the taco bowl more.

(Little Penpen) Hi Belinda. Sounds like a good week. I would LOVE to fill a buggy for $20. That sounds like so much fun. My husband and I started a keto plan this week. Im going to check out those cottage cheese bowls!
ReplyDeleteThe buggy sales are so much fun! I also add kitchen items when we are done looking at the clothes. 😊
DeleteSounds like a good week! Great deal with the buggy sale. Hope that the extracts help with vision. Let us know if you can tell a difference. I need to check out that cottage cheese taco bowl.
ReplyDeleteI made chicken burrito bowls this week, and I tried Mary Hunt's(Everyday cheapskate) cilantro lime rice. It was a little odd in that you make it like pasta by boiling the rice and then straining it. My family really liked it, but what a strange way to cook rice. ;)
Hope you have a great weekend.
Thank you, Kathy. I’ve read about that way of cooking rice, but haven’t tried it. Cilantro rice is delicious. We can get it from a local restaurant here, but I’ll have to try making my,own. Your chicken burrito bowl sounds delicious. I might make that for dinner tonight. Thanks for the inspiration. 😊
DeleteYou are so lucky to be able to fill a buggy for $20. Here we are lucky if things get marked down and those items disappear very quickly.
ReplyDeleteCottage cheese bowls sound very interesting.
God bless.
Thank you, Jackie. The buggy sales are a good money saver for sure. 😊
DeleteThat is an awesome deal at the thrift shop!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteWhat is a cottage cheese bowl?
ReplyDeleteA cottage cheese bowl combines a protein (meat sauce, taco meat, chicken, etc) and cottage cheese to stretch the meat and add more protein. If you’ve ever made lasagne with cottage cheese, it’s basically the same thing.
