Frugal deeds for the day: Well, my husband and daughter decided not participate in the yardsale - and I agreed. We really don't have much left to sell. So, they wanted to know where I wanted to eat out for Mother's Day. My preference is to not eat out. My wish for today is to stay in my comfy clothes and do whatever I wanted to do. My husband cooked breakfast and I wanted to cook lunch - but no dishes! Then, I went through a couple of junk drawers - and threw out some small bags of trash and also found some useful items :) Then, while in the garage, I decided I needed to organize my craft supplies. After is my "before" and "after" organizers. I purchased the canisters over 10 years ago at a yard sale - I paid between $3 and $5 for the set. Of course that wasn't dirt cheap - but counter clutter in the kitchen is now "out". So, the set has probably been sitting in the garage the last 8 years or so. I found self stick sample labels from post-it - so, those containers - my husband washed off the years of dust for me will be label - probably thread, buttons, ribbon, and misc. That will get rid of a bunch of clutter and keep me from hours of searching or buying more stuff that I already have - and I love the teal color to add some interest to my craft storage collection - how's that for a frugal Mother's Day. Sadly, although I asked if flowers were purchased - that they come from Aldi - instead, I got overpriced Kroger flowers - but atleast they aren't as bad a florist flowers and a box of overpriced chocolate covered strawberries from Kroger too. Of course those will be shared - and the purchaser seems to enjoy them more than I do ;)
