Frugal Things I Did Today

August 13th, 2012 at 05:59 am

1. Baked bread. One loaf. And I waited until evening so it wouldn't heat the house up as badly.

2. Picked a gallon of blueberries from the back yard.

3. Balanced my checkbook. Why is this frugal? Because if you don't know what your balance is, you don't know where you stand financially.

4. Cooked dinner in the crockpot. No heating up the whole house with the oven and no eating out because I was too tired to actively cook.

5. Added chicken manure bedding to the compost bin. Eventually we will have lovely free compost.

6. Saved vegetable peels in a bag in the freezer for future soup stock.

7. Saved the bread crumbs from cutting up the loaf of bread I baked in a baggy in the freezer for making meatballs in the future.

8. Didn't spend any money or go anywhere so didn't use gas, either.

9. Did a $3 survey for ACOP.

Little things add up.

    I'd be interested in your bread recipe. And, do you use a bread machine? I've made beer bread, but haven't tried much else, and I'd like to!

    Ray, I do use the bread machine on manual. It mixes the dough and does the kneading. Then I take it out and let it do it's second rise in the bread pan before baking it in the oven. I will post the bread recipe in a separate post.
