January 3 spending

January 3rd, 2007 at 11:58 pm

My other half went out to make sales calls and spent about $5 while he was out. He didn't keep the receipt but that's all that was spent today. Not bad but I'd hoped for less. At least he came home for lunch! Smile

Today's cheapie plans!

I have 5 lbs of chicken cooking on the stove right now. After it's cooked and cooled, I'll de-bone it and put the chicken in containers in the fridge and we'll use it over the next few days.

Tonight's dinner will be... chicken! Surprise! I'm not sure what I'll do with it but it will either be homemade chicken pot pie, a real favorite around here, or perhaps chicken salad rollups and sandwiches.

I need to wash a little laundry again and hang it on the line. I make a confession to you all right now. The "boys", ages 22, 21 and 16 don't like to use towels more than once. They're funny about that for some reason and while I don't have a problem with it in theory, in practice it creates more work and expense for me. Although the guys wash and dry their own laundry, they don't normally wash and dry towels; I do it. So yesterday I got a bright idea. I hung their wet towels on the clothes line and when they were dried, I just folded them neatly and put them on their dressers. They'll use them again today. Now, why didn't I think of this sooner? I haven't a clue! At any rate, if I can make a towel last two or three days instead of just one, it's less laundry which means less money spent and less work for me. Yeehaw, I like it. Smile

I'm working online today, earning what money I can. And I shouldn't spend a thing. The only money spent today should be whatever DH spends while he's out making calls.

January 2 spending

Yesterday's spending was $1.54. My man person was out making sales calls and bought a canned drink and a bag of peanuts. That's all that was spent yesterday. Not too shabby!
