A Practical Walk

I went to Walmart while waiting for my son to finish his Taekwondo session, and got multiple clearance items! Although in retrospect I realize I went overboard on the bagels…I now have rancid bagels in my cupboard.

Gotta keep your eyes peeled for those yellow stickers!

I’ve started planting for my garden!!! Hoping for a bigger and better harvest this year.

And going along with the garden…I did a lot of watering today, but some of that water was leftover rice-rinse water. I know our water bill is gonna go up with the garden, but I can still do what I can to keep it moderate. I’m always so inspired by Brandy’s beautiful garden and how she’s careful to reuse water in her garden.

My garden-extraordinaire sis-in-law gave me a heating mat at Christmas for starting seeds.

I’ve been continuing to find lots of coins! Look how many I found on one run the other day:

My husband had some work in another town….and said town has a Goodwill, so I hitched a ride with him. He dropped me off at Goodwill where we made a donation and got our 20% off one item coupon. I found multiple things to resell and a couple of items for myself, including a pair of Lee jeans. I used the coupon on the jeans.

I also have a frugal fail. While at Goodwill, I accidently broke a sugar dish. It was one I was considering buying to resell. I had it in the seat part of the cart, and while I was trying to get something out of the cart, knocked it through the leg-hole. I broke it, I bought it….then threw it away.

Are you gardening this year? What are you most excited about growing?
