I know I don't need more cereal
Tuesday, July 21, 2009
My cheap day on Monday started with hanging the laundry on my covenant compliant removable clothes lines. I strung these up myself for about $30 close to a year ago. Hubby thought I was nuts; why hang laundry when we have a perfectly good dryer down stairs. Well my washing machine sucks and never spins all the water out. We've spent more than it cost to try to have it repaired only to cause me more grief. I would have to run the dryer twice to get clothes to dry, only ruining the dryer I'm sure. So I hang my laundry about 95% of the time. The first month I did it, I cut the electric bill in half. I like it too, I get outside with the kids for a little bit, it's just part of the routine now.
In the afternoon I ran to get some instant tea. Nestea instant tea, the only kind of tea that is never on sale or has a coupon. I love my husband and I agreed in exchange for doing the dishes I would run to the store and get his tea. While there I found 3 boxes of instant oatmeal for 79cents each in the clearance section. The boxes were a little crushed but who cares? I take them out of the box and but them in a little basket in the cabinet anyway. I know after buying 23 boxes of cold cereal this weekend that I don't need more cereal but it was such a deal.
My maps came from Disney yesterday too. The kids were so excited to see their maps and they are beautiful. You can order your own custom maps from the Disney web site and they are free. Just another thing to add to the anticipation of our upcoming trip.

I have to say you do a good job, but I like the word thrifty not cheap, because not everything is cheap, but a lot of stuff and living style is thrifty. Yours truly Frugal and Tightwad Tanya. Keep up the good living.
