I've been making extra when I cook and freezing it (when appropriate). I've also been making tomatoe based sauces from scratch with my home grown tomatoes and freezing that too. I now make all of our bread and on Monday I even made fresh patsa and froze that too!

I'm addicted

I did fairly well on the taking lunch to work thing and managed to save a fair bit. I've also stopped spending money on crap though my supplies were depleted yesterday when I bought two merino tops for Hannah.

I have however paid off my credit card and increased the money going into my savings account (which is really just a debt recovery account!) to $100 (from $50).

I am continuing on with my limit on spending money which should mean I save another $100 over top of the debt recovery money for emergencies (like my freaking car).

And on the car topic, it's at the mechanics today so is likely to clean out my savings thus far. But then I'm going to sell it and buy a cheaper (and more economical) car.

Continuing on with frugality and will have my debt paid off in 30 weeks. Can't wait.
