I was down all of Thanksgiving week and on into this week with the flu. Sunday I pretty much didn’t do anything that wasn’t essential. My husband and daughter did run to the store and pick up some milk, and a few simple items of their choosing. I pulled several jars of home canned items from the pantry and put on a huge pot of soup with extra garlic for me to eat on and by Monday night I felt semi human.
Tuesday I took advantage of my morning energy and spent a little time working on sanitizing the house. This was a no spend day and I ate leftover soup.
Wednesday I had a doctor’s appointment that had been scheduled for months. I ventured out for this and came straight back home. (I was fever free or I wouldn’t have gone.).
Thursday I actually felt human all day. I didn’t leave the house, but did do a little online Christmas shopping. Taking advantage of some free shipping. I ate up the last of the soup.
Friday was not a no spend day. I had to go to the next town over to pick up my new glasses. I can’t tell you all how wonderful it is to be able to see again. I’ve been having vision troubles since April, and we waited for improvement. I’ve had two eye surgeries, bided my time, etc. I finally discussed it with my doctor and told him even if I have to have new glasses sooner rather than later for my day to day life I needed new glasses now! Saving money is one thing, but I have to be able to function. While we were out on Friday we picked up a Christmas tree. We more than got our money out of our last one. For starters it was one that was given to me by my parents — they bought it around 1998. They used it for years and then gave it us. I had been using it since. (We can’t use live trees due to my husband’s allergies.) We also picked up a few decorations.
Saturday found me running errands. Lowes for light bulbs. Staples to drop off toner cartridges for recycling. The library to pick up books. Apartment hunting with my daughter. Various things like that. Nothing that was overly expensive. For dinner I used some points and coupons to order pizza for my family and I had chicken wings.
That’s it. I’m not sure if it was a frugal week or not, but I feel like in the end it all balanced out and I survived it. LOL
