Thriftiness #1

 I've gotten off the path of sharing my "thrifty" or "frugal" anything on my blog.  Many of these are repeats, but each time I go the thrifty route, we save.

Used my clothesline instead of the electric dryer.  Free solar dryer.  I use the clothesline year round, but from Spring to Fall it's used in place of the dryer.  I'm thankful to have a clothesline.

Made breakfast with steel cut oats we bulk buy (cost is a lot less), and only a cup makes enough for us two for a few mornings.

I brew my own teas, and tea infusions with bulk ingredients or free foraged ingredients.

I use the library to look for new recipes, books, movies, etc.  Free.  Our library also provides free bookmarks. I try to go to the library during their book sales, because they give their magazines away free.  Yes, you can borrow them for free too, but I can read them at my own pace, and/or pass them on to someone who uses them for crafting.

On my most recent visit to the library, I not only brought home free borrowed books, but more free magazines, free bookmarks, and a free adult bookmark craft. We could choose which one we wanted to bring home to make.  

I bulk buy (saves us $$) many of our spices.  I refill the jars instead of buying new jars (cinnamon, chili powder, cumin, paprika etc.). 

I was inspired to share frugal living tips again, thanks to the thrifty week posts by Harvest Lane Cottage Blog.
