That can sure take a huge toll on your budget. Praying for you and I do hope you find a good herbal book. :)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-6478383828753520162016-07-25T19:17:18.201-07:002016-07-25T19:17:18.201-07:00I love that cushion that you got.

We have managed to keep the budget under control by eating the veg out of the garden at meal times and only using what we had in the freezer and pantry. I'm going to keep an eye out for a herb gift book like yours. I grow and dry a lot of herbs but really only use them for flavouring in cooking. I'd like to explore more of their medicinal uses.<br />Hope your family member recovers soon.<br />Life is good.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964345893499561504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-25259887874135391532016-07-23T19:27:14.947-07:002016-07-23T19:27:14.947-07:00Great deals SJ.

I'm so glad I fan across them at the thrift store.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16449564619872452771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-15439529513675446382016-07-23T13:01:07.637-07:002016-07-23T13:01:07.637-07:00Hi back.I found some seeds to restock what I had u...Hi back.I found some seeds to restock what I had used. But didn't buy everything I wanted since the selection was not very good. And I also bought some compost. This store has a 15% sale once a month and I hadn't been in a while. And four times a year, 'members' can turn in their points (1 point for every dollar spent). This was one of the months to turn in the points so I wanted to save some actual $$$. Thanks for asking. <br />Meant to comment earlier on your great Tupperware finds. I have some of those same sized containers. Actually bought some full price (yikes!!) back in the day but now will only buy them from the thrift.Cheers, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-73769679940353758712016-07-23T09:27:47.132-07:002016-07-23T09:27:47.132-07:00Lots of great deals, especially the Propel!Lots of great deals, especially the Propel!Jess https://www.blogger.com/profile/15988560520309364294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-14697870869705147132016-07-22T16:24:03.723-07:002016-07-22T16:24:03.723-07:00SJ, Friday snuck up on me too! ;) I'm glad yo...SJ, Friday snuck up on me too! ;) I'm glad your energy level has been pretty even all week.

Where'd the week go?"<br />Glad you had a great time for your concert and look at all you did in addition to that event.<br />My week was good - energy stayed pretty even all week, yea! Only had to cut back on one thing Thursday. I'm enrolled in a swim class on Thursdays but wanted to go to the local garden center's monthly sale day. I chose the garden center. I couldn't do both. So it goes.<br />Woke up today to rain. Yipee !! No need to water. As much as I love my veggies, I was happy for a day off. Made a small batch of apricot jam instead. Now I'm catching up on computer stuff. Take care, SJ in Vancouver BCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-60731034375136629622016-07-22T13:39:00.908-07:002016-07-22T13:39:00.908-07:00Sounds like you had a pretty good frugal week!

Too bad the person selling the DVDs never showed up and wasted your time and gas, but you were able to turn that into something positive by getting your Christmas cards on sale! Love all the bargains you found!<br /><br />Hope the family member who had to be taken to hospital recovers and will be well again. <br /><br />Hope you have a blessed weekend.
