"Fall" into September Savings

[jasperandchar]

When we moved last fall, I went through and tamed the paper tiger.
It's really a good idea to do it every six months at least.

So last night, had our son over for supper - he loves borscht!
After eating and visiting, he was helping me in the kitchen getting one big pot of the soup ready for freezing - for the first time I used ziplocs instead of containers.
And he was interested in just how much all the borscht cost - because he knew the last time he had a bowl of it at a restaurant it was around $4. He did say that nothing compared to mine, though!

I did a quick adding-up and it was close to $14 for two very big Dutch ovens full. Dealio!!!

Now if I could only sell it per bowl, lol!

Sent Milan home with enough borscht for three big bowls, plus sour cream for them, and the ham and cheese biscuits which were left. He was a happy young man!

Great job Natalka, Milan definitely is a lucky young man and he seems so kind and helpful...

Off to start laundry. Then put away clean dishes and finish cleaning the kitchen. Get my teenager at the table to go over today's school work. Then get youngest in tub and to bed. And hopefully grab a Rubbermaid bin from garage and post stuff for sale. I'm off!

OMG i so love this idea,i'm going to do this as most time i write it on a scrap piece of paper and the paper somehow disappears

glad you like it, hopefully the mason jar won't go missing (lol)

Good morning, everyone.

No time to talk, er, type, I got a call late yesterday afternoon saying my test (the one I missed cause my blood pressure went oopsie & I ended up in emergency last week) is rescheduled for today (gotta love the notice they give, sigh). Of course, I would sleep through my alarm today.

If I`m MIA for a bit, I`m likely hanging out with my Mom and the brats in the land of no internet.

Take care, all.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Andi, hoping all goes well!

Good morning, all!

Gee, this felt like a long week... unusual for me, usually it passes quickly.

Zero outside, though it should hit double digits later. Hoping for sun!

Have a great day!

TGIF! It's date night and much needed. Have had the wine chilling in the fridge all week! He is making some fancy meal, steak and pasta I think. Whatever it is I'm sure it will be great as always. DS has a hockey weekend so will be in the arena. Looking forward to the game tomorrow Have laundry on the go, put my sheets in was this morning so I can dry and make the bed quickly when I get home from work. Sometimes I just can't wait till 7pm to get things done. If I wait then sometimes it just doesn't get done. Received the tutu dress in the mail that I ordered for my niece so may do a Costco trip and go for a visit. But the garage needs cleaning. And I need to figure out what new car I am buying. I've I'm a Honda girl but I'm torn between another Civic (great on gas) or the CRV (love the extra room for the boys/dog/hockey stuff and more room to move stuff/buy deals etc. Decisions.

Good Morning All,

Checking in before I start organizing/sorting my papers to be filed....eye rolling and hair pulling.

Big note to self don't wait 4 years to do the filing, I have no one to blame but myself - oh well, hopefully I learn from this exercise.

DH is planning on heading up to cottage tomorrow to get all his hunting stuff (sleeping bag, propane tanks, etc), he will be going it alone and hopefully bringing back the tractor as it's so cold here you never know it might just snow .

I am going to try a new recipe for thin crust pizza for supper, hoping it's great but keep you all posted.

Well off to tackle the filing

Wishing everyone a superb weekend and may it be as frugal as possible
