Frugal Five – Fresh Herbs

Not so frugal: I accidentally clicked the get Amazon Prime button, thinking it was just the pay button. Even though it was my fault for clicking so quickly, I do wish they’d have a second pop up that asked if you were sure you wanted Prime. Anyways…I canceled the membership, but it’s already paid for one month. So since we have the month paid for anyways, we’re making some purchases with the free shipping it includes. I really prefer buying off ebay rather than Amazon when I can.

I used some basil and oregano form the garden in potatoes today. I also put a bunch of green onions into a ranch dip, and I refrigerated some mint in a jar of water for a refreshing drink for tomorrow. I’m using fresh herbs so much more now that they’re just right in my back yard!

When watering the garden, I started with the 2 buckets that caught rain water before using the hose.

My husband made some purchases at Goodwill today. One was a spike ball set that’ll be fun for a Teen Tuesday. He also got an item for me to resell, and a few items that he’ll use for work.

I sorted through a kitchen drawer and cupboard that hold my plastic containers and large bowls. The annoyance of trying to Tetras all the containers in there so they’d fit, won over the convenience of owning so many. I’m passing 2 items on to my mother-in-law who will use them.

Do you use Amazon Prime? Do you find it’s worth it?
