I cancelled my satellite radio subscription. While my commute is long I work in a major metropolitan area and have lots of regular broadcast stations to choose from.

That’s great Y. With my husband gone I am cooking more and eating out less.
Just cashed in an LL Bean gift certificate for a new dog kennel--definitely a need, not a want.
Cooking in all weekend. Goals. Will i actually do it? This is the question.
Hubby has talked for months about smoking a brisket but they are all so big. Yesterday I found a small one. I bought it without asking and when he got home last night, I told him it's there and now he has to do it I'm tired of going out for it. Will be interested to see how it goes......
I bought groceries. So far I've gone a couple of days not eating out. Well, except for going out with my Mom, but that is so I know she gets at least one good meal a week. She cooks more than I do even at almost 88, so she is basically good. I spent a bit over $60, so if I get a week out of it all I'll consider it a win.
Bad spellers of the world, UNTIE!

Ended the month of Jan with very little extra spending.
Partly because I have been sick since Sunday morning,
sicker then I have ever been in years.
With a horrible common cold and very sore throat.
Fever seem to peak last night and I feel sort of better today.
OKAY, enough of that whining!
--today, I ate oatmeal and fruit from the freezer for breakfast
a can of organic sweet potato soup from the pantry and a frozen dinner.
All bought on sale.
--posted a couple of items for sale on Kijiji and Ebay
--watched a movie on Netflix when I got tried this afternoon.
Just trying to stay warm and cosy in my house and not go out....lol...best if one
doesn't have to in this weather.

Called an independent shop I trust regarding the brake flush recommendation in the service manual and found out it is not necessary. This will save around $100.00.
So far February has been very frugal.
snow day yesterday so I got paid without spending gas to drive to work. Ate leftovers all day.
today I have a free teacher workshop. For about $4 in gas I get breakfast, lunch, and four workshop sessions. I’m planning to get there early so I can sign up for all of my first choices - this year I plan to take the session that gave out goodie bags last year. Hopefully there will be a goodie bag again, but I am taking it for the knowledge.
still have leftovers for dinner, but am going to the grocery store on the way home (using that same $4 in gas, since just to get to the grocery store and back is more than half of that.) made a plan and taking my coupons.
tomorrow will not be frugal because it is a ❤️Grandson day. - fancy donuts! (And extra driving to pick him up and take him home)
Friday meals:
Breakfast: eggs and aging piece of homemade french bread with fresh raspberry jam from a neighbor.
Lunch: huge salad using a leftover chicken thigh, the end of the lettuce mix, some aging tomatoes.
Dinner last night: grilled some chicken. Used up frozen rice. Used a can of black beans that has been in the pantry for a long time. Used up some aging small flour tortillas. Mixed and rolled up some burritos and melted a pile of cheese on top. Chased with some homemade salsa.
Look at all that food that didn't go to waste! Apparently I'm feeling 'chuffed to bits'
Today: making hash brown casserole in an hour. and adding a few eggs on the side. No going out to breakfast! Think of all the calories we WON'T eat!
Now to figure out what to do with 3# of broccoli florets that no one ate last weekend when I was feeding the crew at Winter Carnival......
My February goal: NO FOOD WASTE! (still my biggest problem is going out to eat after work because I'm trashed with no energy).
