Mason Jar Herb Gardens

What Did You Do Today to Save Money?

I wish I could say that the above was a picture of my mason jar herb garden but that would be a lie! However, I did see a post about this on one of my blogs and decided to try it. Mine are sitting on a tall stool up against the dining room window. I planted parsley, basil and thyme. What's pretty cool is that I didn't spend a dime on this experiment. We had a pot of dirt in the shed out back, I have lots of wide-mouth mason jars and we had herb seeds. I also had a decorative jar with some clear beads that I put at the bottom of each jar. I'll let you know how it works out.

I also spent my day off from school taking an inventory of our 4 freezers. Yes, I do know how to live it up! I discovered that I have a lot of squash that I need to use up as well as a lot of corn. But now I have an inventory sheet hanging by each freezer and hopefully this will help me use our freezer food better.It feels really good to have that done!

And now I'm making bread! I love the smell of baking bread and i also love toast made from homemade bread! Dad is out in the gully cutting branches from the tree that fell in the gully during the last windstorm. They make for a great fire in the wood stove downstairs!

So what did you do today?

Let's remember to be frugal, conservative and smart in our financial choices!

Love you all!
