Here's what else we did to save money this past week:
- Cooked meals at home including: beef tacos/nachos with grassfed beef, radish greens, spring onions, cheese, and salad greens; smoothies; overnight oatmeal in the crock pot; snack plates with dried fruit, fresh pineapple, veggies, hard boiled eggs, and nuts
- Enjoyed yoga and a fabulous dinner from Chick-Fil-A with salad stuff and fresh oranges. Yoga class was great and we had wonderful discussion. I came home with leftover nuggets and had them on a salad the next day for lunch.
- Cashed in baby bucks for a Walmart card at the Children's Council.
- We had several shared meals including ones at our children's council groups, with our Tang Soo Do family for belt promotions, dinner with Mom, and meals with friends camping.
- Used a few other gift cards that were floating around my wallet for groceries. Bought a watermelon and pineapple on sale for $3 total. I also bought frozen berries for smoothies on sale for $6/48 oz and some bananas.
- We camped out with friends over the holiday. They have a wonderfully flat yard, so we camped there and had a bonfire (we had helped clear some sticks from their yard and they had cut some limbs recently). We pooled our resources in terms of food and had a great spread. There wasn't enough wood to cook dinner over the fire, but we did do s'mores, which the kids loved.
- I took some time to clean out the garage at Mom's where we have some things stored. I mostly organized, but did find a few boxes and toys to donate to Goodwill. I made sure to get a tax receipt.
- I found some toiletries in my clean out that we can use, saving us purchasing new. I also found some more t-shirts for the boys.
- I cut both the boys and Benny's hair. They got their summer cuts and all look very nice.
- The boys had a blast playing outside most evenings and even got to build a fort with some scrap plywood.
What did you do to live and save green this past week? I'd love to hear from you!
