In no rhyme or reason...
Weather has been iffy all week but I still turned the furnace down to 60 from 8 am to 9 pm. and up to 70 degrees from 9 pm to 8 am. Hubby has issues if he wakes up cold.
I got up this morning and told him the temperature in the house was 75... if I get up the rest of this week and it's the same I will shut the furnace off completely. I let the late sunshine come in to warm the house to hold the temp up during the night. Week is suppose to be pushing 90 for 3-4 days so I can see that furnace being turned off.
We harvested from the gardens: strawberries, rhubarb, scallions, red and golden cherry tomatoes, radishes, turnips, spinach, mustard greens and lettuces.
We got a rhubarb pie from M. M isn't getting extra eggs so we bought eggs from Amish bakery. Cage free organic brown eggs $2.50 a dozen... extra large eggs they were.
Used digital credit (earned by changing delivery days with Amazon) to buy the 3 books that Neurologist and a friend suggested on Dementia. So no out of pocket there.
I ordered 2 elderberry bushes using my Chase points.
Doc took Hubby off B complex vitamin, I will use them for myself .
Used Charlotte's drinking water on kitchen porch to water 2 of the small plants on the kitchen porch. The inside water to water the mint and daylilies at the mudroom door.
I froze all leftovers that was not going to be ate.
Used "Ever Lasting Meal" cookbook by Tamar Adler for using up some odds and ends
Took buttons off Hubby's work shirt that is nothing but thin rag now. I think I might get a few pieces that I can make patches with otherwise it's in the rag bag.
I made French toast with 2 loaves of the bread I got on sale. Now in freezer. Also froze another loaf so we only have 1 loaf to eat now.
I replaced the plants that died when we got that late freeze. Since it's at the end of planting season I was able to find replacements at 2 Amish greenhouses that were starting to clear their stock to make room for fall crops and flowers. Nice discount and got the flowers for the family's graves at 25% off also
Sold 4 lbs. of asparagus at produce auction for $4.50/ lb.
Had a $10 credit on Hubby's TSC card, he got dog food which gave him another 5% off since he bought it at TSC.
Used the garden meter while watering, Hubby over waters and I underwater. This keeps things water correctly.
Made snacks for Hubby's trip

All good savings and every little bit helps.
ReplyDeleteI think I have told you that because of my husband's brain injury he has to eat a high fat diet. His first neurologist recommended it and then after he retired the next one recommended it as well. It makes a huge difference in his brain function. Most days it is three eggs for breakfast and then full fat dairy , plenty of olive and avocado oil and butter in and on everything. If we have a bad day I can often look back and see that we did not have enough fat.
