The theme for this year is "Laser focused, hunkered down and spending as little money as possible.”
We're talking gardening, bargain shopping and pantry building and how we utilize all three to keep us fed and cared for without breaking the bank!
In the garden: I continue to harvest bits and bobs of random things. This week I culled through and picked up a few more pears that had fallen from the tree. I also picked a few jalapeño and cayenne peppers.
My plan is to fertilize the pepper plants and see if I can get another big harvest from them before our first frost which is usually in November.
In the kitchen: I baked a peach cobbler made from fresh peaches. Oh my, it was delicious! Those fresh peaches made it lip smacking good! Both of us commented on how yummy it was, and we may or may not have eaten the whole thing in one sitting!Thrifting, bargain, and/or loss leader shopping at the grocery store, farmers market, etc: Hubby made a quick run to the grocery store for some lemon juice (I ran out and needed it for a preserving project I was in the midst of.) and while there found these cans of Mexican Hominy on clearance for $.09/can. The best buy date is August of 2025. SCORE!
In the Pantry: I've been preserving up a storm this week! I canned squash, tomatoes, peach pie filling and kept the dehydrator going with pears and apples.

That's it for me this week, what has your week looked like?
until next time,
