No spending again today. Smile WOOHOO!! I love those kinds of days.

Nothing major frugal going on here today. Making bread, chocolate chip cookie bars (that didn't get done yesterday), didn't hang out laundry as it's raining.

February Frugal's

WOW! I can't believe we are into February already. It really is true the older you get (not that I am *that* old LOL) that the years go by so quickly...........

Today I need to take dson to the dr for a recheck of his ingrown toenails. No copay so that is good.

gonna stop by and pick up a dvd for another dson - have a coupon for a free movie so that won't cost anything.

Today I have:
~added 1/2 cup of water to the shampoo
~added 1/2 cup of water to the conditioner
~washed 1 load in cold water
~washed using 1/8 cup of soap
~will hang out the laundry on the line in a few minutes
~wash a 2nd load in cold water and hang out
~put away towels on the drying rack - started putting them there, once we are done with showers/baths in the evenings - we are already clean - everyone has their own color- so once we dry off we put on drying rack - I just started doing this but have already cut my laundry down to 2 loads a day versus 4! SO that will be a savings
~pack lunches for school

Left to do:
~making dinner out of the freezer/pantry - making homemade pizza
~will make up a couple batches of chocolate chip cookie bars, some go in the freezer
~will make up bread
~set up bill pay for the month of February
~balance the checkbook with online banking


So today will be February's first no spend day, unless the dr. prescribes meds - which I doubt as dson is still taking the antibiotics from last week.

Have a FRUGAL February!!
