Zoe loves to build Lego kits, and she didn’t have much of a place to store some of her bigger pieces. Shop ADVANCE Interior Paint - Satin Photo Credit: www.benjaminmoore.com I use satin sheen, and my fave white is Cloud White. So, I told her I’d poke around on Facebook Marketplace to see what I could come up with.

The grain mill was an investment but if you compare the cost of homemade sourdough bread to store bought loaves of equivalent quality, it’s a huge savings. For me, to be honest, the hardest part about being frugal is resisting the fun and pleasure of shopping and buying things. Gretchen, thanks so much for participating!

What I Spent I spent: $30 at Lidl $16 at the Hispanic grocery store $30 on pizza So, $76 for me this week. Sunday Zoe had a night off of work, so the three of us went out for pizza and then went to Target, where we did some clothes shopping. But then when we got to the fitting room, it was closed!

for lovely weather for an outing with Sonia We’d been trying to find a time to go visit some antique stores, and we finally made it happen yesterday! Well, this little tea shop has that down pat! Regardless, they are beautiful. The weather was lovely for walking around downtown, and we got tea together too.

Sooo, I drove to my next destination and lo and behold, there was an officer just sitting in the parking lot of the shopping center. This reminded me of when my kids would play make-believe drive-thru or grocery store games; they always loved to be the bad customer and there was lots of laughing involved then too.

When we lived in a bigger city, we had great resale stores for used clothing and toys. I really miss our old secondhand stores with good condition items sorted into specific sizes!

I also want to have a sense of detachment from owning things, which is hard since I was raised by very acquisitive parents (my mom shopped for a hobby), so I am still unlearning those habits. I haven’t worn makeup in about twenty years or so, I can’t remember the last time I painted my nails, and I detest shopping for clothes.
