+ We’re following the square foot “method” for our garden, but wanted to save a little money by skipping the cross-hatch pieces that make the squares. Instead, I constructed a temporary version out of strips of cardboard. I use it when I plant and then keep it in the garage until the next time.
+ I planted wildflowers from seed kits that never sold from the old Big White Farmhouse shop. I found them tucked away this winter and couldn’t wait to put them to good use in the front flower beds. I didn’t know what to expect since they were over three years old, but the germination rate still seems to be good! I have little sprouts everywhere.
+ We’re getting a 15% credit on our auto insurance policy due to being stuck at home during the outbreak.
+ As of this writing, we’re still going strong without having to turn on our A/C! I’m grateful for this weirdly cool spring.
+ We had a bit of an ant invasion near our side door. I made a homemade ant killer, which was equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle, and that helped kill the ones in the house. For outside, I made a concoction of equal parts powdered sugar and baking soda in a small, shallow container and it worked within hours.
Your turn! What did you do to save a little money this month?
P.S. I pin frugal ideas to this Pinterest board if you need some inspiration too!
