Last Week's Frugalities

Last week was one of those weeks where I mostly stayed home.

In the kitchen:

• I did some light batch cooking for the week.  I cooked two meals of chili and what I thought would be two meals of sloppy joe filling....ended up being one LOL
• I cooked 9 hard boiled eggs to make deviled eggs with. Gotta love the Instant Pot for cooking eggs.  
• We had chicken fajitas one night -- using frozen chicken and using up some lingering veggies.
• I cooked a triple batch of pasta sauce with ground turkey and veggies.  I put two meals worth of the sauce in the freezer.
• Saturday night we didn't want to cook and did pick up a frozen pizza for $10.  There's not really any price shopping at the local market -- you get what they have on hand.  
• We ate leftovers whenever possible for the next day's lunch.

On the chore front there's nothing exciting to report.  I did the usual only run full loads, conserve electricity, etc.

I did pay a few bills -- car tags and a medical bill.  Definitely grateful for medical insurance!

I placed an order from Sam's Club and received most of the items on my list within three days.  All of them were food items.  The bonus was that I could take advantage of free shipping with my membership because I am currently 2 hours away.  A four hour round trip is just impossible right now...so savings of time and gas.  

Struggles

I've been struggling for a while with this blog.  Sigh!  I've been inundated with tons of spam comments and the only solution I have been able to find is to set it up where no anonymous comments are allowed.  With that said, I'm hoping all is fixed, and I will be able to get back to actually sharing on here.  If that doesn't work, my next step is to set up a private -- by subscription and invite only -- but I really don't want to have to do that.
