2023 Frugal Things in November
1. Mike and I received our covid and flu shots and earned $20 in free food at Giant Eagle.
2. Mike took advantage of a few Veterans Day promotions and we ate for free that day.
3. I used the grinder that attaches to my mixer to grind chicken, pork and ham for hamloaf. It's cheaper to buy the basic meat and grind it myself.
4. I used home ground pork to make homemade breakfast sausage.
5. As part of Veterans Day, Mike received a few haircut voucher.
6. We took advantage of the Thanksgiving sale on butter and stocked up for several months and saved about $45 in the process.
