At last, I'm back! It's been a very busy year, culminating in a frugal wedding in November and a trip overseas.
I've loved reading the frugal Christmas stories. We received a gift of $100 cash and can't think what we need to buy with it.
But today, I've been gardening. Repotted a plant from the garden rather than go down to the garden center to buy one as a replacement. I'm also processing 10kg of plums, purchased for a total of $3.99. I stewed some, made some plum almond meal muffins from a Frankensteined recipe, gave some away, ate some and still have about 6 kg left. Next, I'm going to try baking them, it's been done before according to the internet.
And a bigger, longterm thing. I've returned to my vegetarian + fish diet, a healthy and frugal choice for me.
