Five Frugal (mostly tiny) Things

Typically very small items this week!

1. I received an once-a-year symphony pass

So, immediately after my minimal $10 symphony evening the other week, it happened to me that other nearby metropolis symphonies may also have a college student program.

And as it turns out, they do!

One more city provides a pupil deal exactly where you fork out $35 and then you can go to mainly as quite a few concert events as you want in excess of the future year for $.

You do have to pay back $15 for parking in the garage, due to the fact it is in a even bigger city, but nonetheless, that’s a tremendous superior deal.

So, I purchased that membership and went to a live performance there last Friday night time, mainly because a Tchaikovsky symphony was on the system.

I really like Tchaikovsky!

I wore the precise same outfit I wore to the final symphony simply because

a) it was a distinctive venue in a distinctive metropolis and

b) I never consider any one would see a repeated black gown even if it was in the exact city!

2. I produced granola

Schedule and monotonous? Sure. 😉

But just about every time I make this granola, I am reminded of how speedy and uncomplicated it is. Not acquiring to stir the granola whilst it bakes: Fantastic.

3. I did a excellent career of consuming my fridge down

Bear in mind how I didn’t genuinely go grocery browsing past week, and only spent $18 on food items? Effectively, that’s due to the fact we ended up chaotic feeding on up anything we experienced.

By Sunday of this 7 days, it was pretty darn close to empty in my fridge. Yay me!!

As a individual who tends to inadvertently retain a fridge very entire, I felt quite accomplished. 😉 A whole fridge tends to inspire food waste since points get lost.

4. I prepped food stuff prior to medical yesterday

This semester, most of my clinicals stop at 8:30 pm, so I’m gonna get a lot of observe at packing dinners!

Yesterday, I slice up some hen thighs and utilised this chipotle hen marinade on them and sauteed the hen in a cast iron skillet.

I packed the chicken as a salad, working with the sauce as a dressing, furthermore I brought some carrots, Triscuits (effectively, the Aldi kind!), and hummus, and that was my supper.

And I left the relaxation at household for Zoe to consume immediately after she bought off from work final night time.

5. I marketed a e-book on eBay

A tried using and accurate little frugal staple for me! Any time I have a e-book I don’t need to have, I throw it up on eBay and then set the reserve on my shelf and fail to remember about it.

So then when a little, “You’ve designed a sale!” electronic mail will come via, it is a pleased small shock.

Normally, the books I am promoting are titles I’ve originally purchased through eBay, when the library does not come by for me.

And here’s how I promote guides on eBay.
