Frugal Accomplishments This Week

Hello y’all! It’s that awesome time of the week, where I, once again, share what frugal things I did this week, hopefully to inspire and give ideas, as well as to share things that I do in my day to day life that don’t necessarily need a whole post to write about each one.

I decided that I’ll be moving the frugal accomplishments of the week to Sunday instead of Monday as it’s been, starting next week, so see you then!

Meanwhile, here’s what we did frugally this past week in our home:
