Garbage Garden – Week 16

Garbage Garden 2017

Here is a status report for the tiny little garden I started at work from food scraps. I tried to regrow romaine lettuce from the cut ends of romaine, celery from the cut ends of celery bunches, green onions from the white end that is usually thrown away, red onions from the tiny starts inside of decaying onions, and tomatoes from rotting tomatoes.

Frugal Endeavors – Happy Canada Day

 

These little guys keep getting into my guest room. I catch them and set them free outside.

June 27 to July 4, 2017

For me, Canada Day has always marked the beginning for summer. Summer presents all kinds of different opportunities to stretch my frugal muscle.

Frugal Endeavors – Wealth beyond counting

Rest stop at Stanley Glacier

The last couple of weeks, The Man and I took a trip to Alberta to visit friends and family and to attend a wedding.  Travelling and being away from home always comes with a cost but I think we did a pretty good job of saving money.
