Cost Cutting This Weekend

We are eating leftovers for brunch. We have a choice of a hamburger, cottage cheese with pineapple, or meatballs with marinara sauce. When those are gone, all the leftovers will be gone. That is a good thing because no food waste. We do not eat lunch.

Dinner on Sunday will be grilled mojito lime pork rib steaks and tossed salad. All meals this weekend will be cooked at home. My son and West will be here for breakfast tomorrow morning. I will make bacon, scrambled eggs, French toast with 100% pure syrup, a side of avocado for 2 of us who will eat it and cranberry juice. Tonight we will bread haddock and deep fry it. I will serve it with broccoli.

I emptied my change from my purse this week into my change jug. I do this at the end of every week. We wrap it and take it to the bank for the grandchildren when it is full. They usually get around $100. each time that happens(once or twice a year). I always hold back a quarter to use at Aldi’s when I go.

We will not being going anywhere so no gasoline will be used. We will not be ordering anything online so no money will be spent.

Entertainment this weekend will be watching NCIS, FBI Most Wanted, and Matlock, reading, watching football, and playing rummy with our son and West. I have decided I will write out a few Christmas cards for people we don’t see all year. I will do this while watching football.

I have cloth snakes in front of the two doors in the basement to keep the cold air out. But I am feeling a draft again near the back door so I will find another one for there today. They are in a storage bin in the basement.

That’s it. Enjoy your weekends.
