Thrifty for others:
My DIL took home all my knitting a crocheting supplies and books plus some art materials.
We babysat while my son went to Pilates as part of physical therapy.
Thrifty for us:
Made a big pot of barley and vegetable soup plus cornbread.
Hubby continued to dig out the large clumps of overgrown iris in the front at the rate of one a week. Just one fills up our green waste bin. Three are gone and “only” 7 to go. The gardener charges $85 an hour so money saved providing some labor ourselves.
Going through my clothes to make a summer weather capsule for the weather here. I’m going to mend or alter where needed. No new purchases.
Bought two more patio chairs on sale. Now we have 8 including our 4 old ones and 2 from Buy Nothing. That is plenty. Now to find small tables.
And a positive financial surprise.
We received notice that eventually Hubby will get an undetermined amount from a class action lawsuit he didn’t know was occurring. Apparently the trustees of one of his retirement accounts overcharged management fees. Not expecting much but still it was a pleasant surprise.
Thrifty as usual. My goodness $85 an hour is a lot.
