I can't take credit for this one, but DS turns the heat way down during the day. At first I thought it was so he would be able to hear if a package is delivered, but it's turned into every day, so now I think it is so if I come home unexpectedly he will hear my car pulling up or the key in the lock and can race up to his room and avoid me. In any case I still have slightly over half a tank of oil which may get me to summer.
Early: I hope you enjoy the play! I am looking forward to having more live performances on the agenda again!
The play was great - very funny. I love community theatre. It's a small venue and was not terribly crowded, and we still masked. We don't go often to live local events, but I have really missed them. And they are usually a great bargain! The small city close to us has a lot of free concerts outdoors in the summer, if you don't mind searching for parking and walking in large (for us) throngs. We also enjoy neighborhood garden tours - but those lead to plant and yard envy, which can be costly, lol. Dh will not go - he says if he can't see it, he can claim he has no idea what I'm talking about, and thus does not have to help replicate what-ever-it-was that DD and I saw, and wanted. He's only about half kidding....
LOL, early. I think I agree with your dh.

DH is so pleased with himself. He sold $400 worth of metal to the metal scrapper.
He has been cleaning out our basement in preparation for our move. Over the past several months he’s had two other hauls like this one.
The metal scrapper is less than a mile from here so it’s easy to get to. They pay immediately for most metals, but for copper they mail you a check because they want to make sure you’re a solid citizen with a legitimate address that can be traced.
Good for him, IL. That's a nice chunk of change!!

I dare not show DH tjis post because he will adopt your husband’s point of view as his own. He likes pretending he doesn’t know what I’m talking about when I start describing some thing I want him to make.Originally Posted by early morning

So today I decided I didn’t want to spend 120/month on dog food. So I ordered dry food to mix with Sarah’s wet food. That will lower the cost significantly. The others are on wet only because of sensitivity.
I am trying to not speed so I don't use as much gas. If I get behind someone traveling the speed limit I do not let myself pass them.
I need to get back on track with the frugality efforts. So far, we are just making an increased effort to turn off lights in empty rooms (we are not very good about this) and trying not to be so quick to turn up the heat when it feels a bit chilly (which will only get easier as the season progresses). I picked up some books at the library today, which is always one of my favorite frugals.
