2022 Frugal Things in September
1. Eating mainly from the stockpile. These are foods bought on sale so it saves us money.
2. Frugal Fail: having to buy cream cheese and eggs at the new higher regular prices. My stockpile ran out. Sticker shock!!!
3. Gratefully accepting a spaghetti squash, Hungarian peppers, green tomatoes and concord grapes from a friend.
