WIS, WWA | I had no plan

The Frugal Girl

Shelley always looks kinda mad in photos. Chiquita looks a little mad here! I spent: $30 on a Hungry Harvest box $74 at Sam’s Club $6.50 at Safeway Sooo, $110.50 for me this week. What We Ate Saturday I made spaghetti and meatballs, which I hadn’t done in ages. Although…this wasn’t EXACTLY spaghetti and meatballs.

Thankful Thursday | from the island

The Frugal Girl

Sonia did a little photoshopping with the one photo. I don’t take baths, really, so when Sonia was filling up the tub for a soak, Chiquita was very confused. And maybe a little concerned.
