I really like The Prudent Homemaker Blog, so thought I would take a leaf out of her book. These are some of the things that I have done this last week to live frugally this week.

1. I cooked a turkey that I purchase for .49 a lb at Thanksgiving time. (I got 6 of them at that time).
2. I will use the leftover turkey for meals for the next few days and freeze a meal for later.
3. I will cook the turkey bones with the broth for soup and put it with the leftover rice that I cooked for dinner with some kale that I dried this summer from the garden.
4. I used my homemade laundry soap all last week for laundry. Love it!!
5. We all used the homemade toothpaste that I made. We have been using this for about  2 months. I had a dental apt. and the hygienist said my gums and teeth looked great and to keep up whatever I have been doing. Yea!!!
6. I made homemade pancakes for breakfast today and Friday and Saturday morning made 'Dutch Top Hat' for breakfast and we used my homemade Chokecherry syrup on top.
7. My 16 year old made homemade pizza for dinner with freshly ground whole wheat flour (Wheat Montana Red Winter Wheat).
8. I used kambucha tea that I have going constantly and mixed it with my homemade apple juice made from our apple trees. Looked at the price of store bought Kambucha tea and decided I can mimic most of their flavors right here at home.
9. Started putting together my seed order for gardening this summer. I have some saved over but we are planning a garden twice the size we had last year.
10. I made rhubarb/raspberry crunch from fruit from our frozen fruit that we grew.
11. I started a batch of keifer this week. I need to look up how to use it. I like Kambucha but not sure how the keifer will taste, but want to heal my stomach lining. Would love ideas anyone else has on how to use it.
12. We got about 3 dozen eggs from our hens this week. We only have 13 hens so for winter that is not too bad. 
13. I started herbs and tomatoes and lettuce in plastic salad containers with a fluorescent light used at night to help them grow. Had to replant a few things that hadn't done too well. Mini-greenhouses.

 I just asked my youngest son if he could think of anything else frugal that I had done this week and he said he thought I had it down pat. I think he thinks we live frugally all the time. Guess we do.

Oh, this week I need to give the guys hair cuts, too. Keep watching as I will try to post more as I think about it.
