Solid Weekend
« on: October 14, 2013, 12:00:39 PM »
Friday:
After work, rode to the local brewery for $5 growlers.

Saturday:
I rode the kids to grab a case of apples (beer case, apples off the tree) for FREE.
Went to a hog roast in the evening, volunteered & took our $5 growler of beer, so we got an eat-out meal w/ pork, salad & beer for $5.

Sunday:
Sold bread at the local farmers' market for a friend; free bread, a couple of nice barters & a nice hunk of money.
Helped the in-laws take down a garage door & opener, we'll use the opener & scrap the door. More money.

We spent virtually nothing and gained a lot.

I feel good about it.

Your weekend sounds great.  Especially, helping out at a farmer's market.  Sounds way better than plunked in front of a tv set doesn't it!
