Cheap day today!

January 4th, 2007 at 12:10 am

The chicken is cooked, cooled, and de-boned. I made a quickie version of my chicken pot pie and it's okay. Not great but not bad, either. The horde will eat it. What chicken didn't get used in that is now in the fridge awaiting use later this week.

I got the clothes washed and hung on the line and they're dry, folded, and put away now. A few of them were just slightly damp so I draped them here and there to finish drying. Doing that costs less than running to the laundromat to finish the drying. I saved about .75 plus the little bit of gas to drive 3 miles. Not a big savings but I'll add a dollar to my $20 challenge jar.

I did a little bit of online work today. There wasn't a lot to do but I made a few bucks. I won't get paid for it until late next week but that's okay. It will be a little bit toward the big payment to the bank later this month.

All in all, it was a pretty cheap day!

    It feels great to make a good, but inexpensive meal, and still have leftovers for another day.
    I made pork chops and orange rice last night, and with the leftover meat, I made fajitas and Spanish rice. I even made the tortillas from scratch. So, that was two meals for the price of one, and the meat was a mark down.
    Cooking is one of the best ways to save money.
    You seem very motivated, and are doing a great job.

    How do you weed out the ligit surveys from the junk?

    I cooked a chicken this weekend, and so far have had a chicken dinner, made chicken soup, chicken salad and some shreaded bbq chicken for pizza tomorrow. I still have a ton left.
    Chicken pot pie is a good idea..think I will make that. Smile
