A Frugal Tip...

...stay home.

With being on germ lock down, and now step downed to germ aversion with slightly paranoid tendencies, we have stayed home, a lot. Even grocery shopping has been limited.

And you know what, we are doing find food wise.

And you know what else? We are saving money. I am still using my whole grocery budget, but I am going to less stores less often, so saving money on gas, and there has been no picking up take out because it is Saturday and lunch time (avoiding restaurants right now too, too many people with their germs.)

I have other frugal tips I keep meaning to post about, but this is today's tip.

I was supposed to go grocery shopping on the weekend. I looked in the fridge, looked at the menu and realized that I needed nothing ASAP. Same thing happened tonight. So we stayed home to watch Canada clobber Russia in men's Olympic hockey. I think that tomorrow it will be a milk run for sure though, and that is okay, I will have a list ready for Henry's. One stop. Excellent prices on fruit, veg, and bulk stuff, plus chicken on sale. That fills out my list! One stop, everything on sale or just normally dirt cheap. Works for me!
