    I have been preparing Spaghetti Salad about once a week. I absolutely love it! I take a plate to my neighbor as she loves it too.

    Well, a few days ago, a roommate and I prepared Potato Chip cookies! My favorite! I gave the neighbor a couple.

    Guess what? The neighbor brought over day-old baked goods! She knows how I hate for food to be wasted.

    So, I am grateful.

    Recently, we roommates went to the city to Long John Silvers. We save some money each month so that we can treat ourselves every-so-often.

    We bought a $20.00 meal with 6 pieces of fish, 6 pieces of chicken, 20 hush puppies and corn.

    A very frugal meal for a restaurant!

    Hello strangers!

    I played bingo! Instead of playing for money, we play for prizes.

    Do you know how individual 1-ounce bags of chips have 150 calories? I won a huge bag of veggie chips containing a bunch of small 1-once individual bags of veggie chips. Such individual 1-ounce bags only contain 70 calories. Good to have for sandwiches such as grilled cheeses, lunch meat sandwiches, cheeseburgers, hot dogs, hoagies, etc.

    Very appreciated as is good for my health and good for my wallet.

    Today was a very frugal day!

    The cafe where I used to work, gave my roommate and myself 8 Angus burgers! We split the burgers 4 a piece.

    Then, there are people that we call the "bread people" that bring we roommates day-old bread every month. I started a loaf of Sara Lee 100% whole wheat bread and placed the rest of the donated bread in our freezers.

    Anyway, today, I had a donated Angus cheeseburger on donated bread!
