Family Balance Sheet

APRIL 1, 2021

Recently I tried something completely new to me and earned $1000 in less than 3 months by donating plasma–see the details in #14. An easy lunch idea in one word: leftovers! I love a pedicure too, but if you’re trying to save money, try to paint your piggies yourself. Bring in Extra Money: 14 – Donate Plasma.

Fashion changes and new or nearly new clothing gets sold at sales or donated to charity. Glass leftover containers 3 for $.75. I don’t like to use plastic bags or throwaway containers for my leftovers – glass seems much cleaner. Hubby re-painted it and has used it for many things around the yard and grounds.

I don’t freeze food in the used bags, but do use them for leftovers in the frig. Before throwing away old clothing, I snip the buttons off and remove working zippers (unless I’m donating the item). If you want to get fancy, draw, paint or sew buttons on it for eyes. Two liter soda bottles. Old clothing parts.

We rented the scaffolding for $50 from Menards so I could finish this massive painting project. I’d send some to my nieces to help with their college expenses and would donate half to our local food pantry. Now I like that she has some leftover/easier nights sprinkled in as it matches our life more closely. ” Ha.

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. I have a rule now that if I want to buy a book, I need to donate one. And art supplies: I like to paint and draw, so every now and then I splash out. And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste.
