September 2021 frugal chatter; Almost Fall!!!

Just a shout out to be careful to all our Newfoundland friends here who are under a Hurricane warning right now !!! I read it is the entire Avalon Peninsula including the Metro St. John's area. Cat 1 storm Larry will hit later tonight. Be safe!

It was sunny earlier and now the clouds have moved in. Of course I want to get some yard work done so hopefully it doesn't rain.
5 million things to do and don't know where to start like usual

I am letting people harvest their own dill and put the money in my mailbox. I made $24 yesterday from one lady who is doing a lot of canning.

The local high school called this morning asking me to teach this afternoon. Of course I had to turn them down because of the appointment. I figured that would happen.

Finally washed up the plastic storage tower I found on the side of the road last week. Will let it dry and then set it up.

Kitchen is clean. It is a start. Now thinking I should sort laundry and toss a load in the washer since I haven't done any in a few days.

My porch pick up is complete and I have a crisp $5 bill to start my new savings goal...... Will decide this weekend what the new goal is.

Such a crazy few days I decided to order pizza tonight. 50% off at Domino's which I couldn't find code (I had tossed paper with code) went to store and got code and ordered online to get sticker towards free pizza

DS is off with his friend to get pictures. (they are both little photographers with their fancy cameras)
I started laundry so have a load ready to hang up to dry.

I actually miss picture days! @Frugalbigmama , how about asking the young men to take your family photo to mark 2021? For holiday card or desktop screensaver or 2022 calendar...

@SassyAshley Repping you for having watermelon and the MacGyver plumbing repair! Do you have large sheets of thick white foamboard at work? To act as insulation for the wall that you think will not be repaired before winter? Just a thought. At the fairgrounds which held spring dinner theatres, the volunteers used such sheets to plug the doors facing the hall to help dampen kitchen cleanup sounds. One set of doors in hall were our exit/entrance doors and we had to be really quiet using them because people talk in kitchens...and we had our dinners and drink glasses in hand to find an empty table to enjoy our food and a bit of the show.

I like your intuition based on past experiences with repairs. Better anticipate a backup plan to help quell concerns that repairs won't be finished before winter until you get it in writing.

@Giseledta So happy that you are getting in your garden time! What a thrill between the rainy weather and wind of late.
I was actually thinking how I should stockpile some yardwaste bags soon. I just don't know how many to get-40 seems a starting point.

Mom needed to run some errands late this afternoon and she asked if I wanted to come for the ride. Normally I would say no but it has been a super long 4-day work week and I needed a break so figured why not.

Mom picked up her order and treated me a vanilla steamer.

On the way home we stopped at Wal-Mart for mice traps, grrrr, not sure how many we still have. Well we were there we grabbed a few other things, I needed more oregano oil and they had none. Checked the flyers and Zehrs has Vitamins on sale so stopped there on the way home, good new they had oregano oil bad news even on sale it was $7 more/bottle. Sadly I am in a flare up and need them so I had to grab them, could not see Rexall or Shoppers being any cheaper as they were not on sale there.

Got my bedding and the couch blankets washed today, did not get Mom's bedding done, there is always tomorrow.

Time to come up with a plan for the weekend, lots to get done so I need to prioritize.

Have a great Friday night everyone
