The Ways of My Household ... 10/9/2017

The past two weeks have been extremely busy and while I didn’t get everything I wanted to do done, I did get a few things …

We always check the marked down produce section when we go grocery shopping and this week we found bananas, potatoes, sweet potatoes, nectarines, avocadoes, key limes and apples. I dehydrated the bananas and the rest we’ve enjoyed in meals as there were not enough to preserve.

My husband juiced the key lime lemons and I made this low-carb key lime pound cake.  

I also made this low-carb granola. I eat it over yogurt.

I chopped and dehydrate turmeric root.

I finished dehydrating the two #10 cans of mushroom pieces I had left to do.

I purchased Carolyn Ketchum’s new book the Everyday Ketogenic Kitchen and made the Easy Taco Pie on page 218.  It was GOOD!  My husband gave it a ‘thumbs up’ so I added it to my low-carb ‘tried and true’ recipe collection.  I’m looking forward to trying other dishes from the book!    

I needed some new socks and while shopping for them I noticed something. The store I was in had their women's socks beside their children's socks. I got to looking at and comparing the children's socks and the women's socks because the children's socks were $3 cheaper than the women's socks for the same number of pairs in a package. Same style, different colors but otherwise nothing was different. I compared the length and the width, they were the same. I compared the quality, they were the same. You know what I did??? I bought myself some children's socks and saved myself $3.

We found Boston butts on sale for $.99/lb and purchased two to add to the freezer part of our pantry.  We'll get several meals out of these.

My husband changed the oil in our vehicle instead of paying to have it done.

That's it for me, what have you done to save money, stock your pantry or live frugally?
