Frugal Friday | A Little Late this Week

This week was busy with some unplanned family events, but better late than never!

1| A Well-Stocked Freezer to the Rescue 

I was asked to make a few meals for a family member in need. I pulled all the ingredients I needed from the freezer and churned out two casseroles, a blueberry breakfast cake, biscuits, and burritos.

I did make a stop at the store for a few items, eggs and tortillas just in case. I also had to send Ben down the road to the gas station to pick up some milk as mine was sour when I opened it. Oops!

Overall very little out of pocket and many mouths fed!

2| I Remembered My EZ Pass

I carpooled with my mom to help a relative pack their apartment. We used my EZ Pass to save on tolls, made sandwiches so we didn't have to eat out, and had a great time catching up.

3| I Was Gifted A Set of Corelle Bowls

My Aunt who is cleaning out her apartment gifted me her Corelle nesting bowls that she no longer used. They just happened to be in a print that I was coveting!

4| Wood Splitting and Trailer Towing

This past weekend I helped my dad split a cord of wood. It was my first time using the axe to split pieces to size for his woodstove. I have a new appreciation for those who split it by hand! 

I also got to move a trailer for the first time. Practice makes perfect!

5| Don't Cry Over Spoiled Milk

The milk I purchased last week went off before its best by date. Instead of tossing it I used it in place of buttermilk in the blueberry breakfast cake and freezer biscuits. You can't taste that the milk is "spoiled" once baked, and it is still perfectly safe to use.

Feel free to share your five frugal thing!
