1 Year Blog-iversary!

By


I cannot believe I've been blogging here for a year now! My first post was May 26, 2016 about My Recipe Binder. I'm not very good at sharing my menu plan every two weeks, but I still use the same system.

I'll be sharing my top 10 posts of the year in two different blog posts. This is part 1.


#1

My most popular by far is the post I did about redoing my kitchen cabinets-and how I did it for only $100! They are still doing really well and I have no complaints. They still look great and I've received so many compliments on them.

 #2

This post on my Aldi haul and meal plan was number 2. Here I told about how I spent $113 at Aldi and planned my 2 week menu from that!


#3

How I Organized My Laundry closet for $5 was all about how my favorite store (know which one it is? helped me out with this project.

#4

Number 4 was my Farmhouse Bathroom makeover in Purple and White. Find out how I did it on a budget!

#5

Frugal Farmhouse Decor is #5 and all about how I decorate on the cheap. Maybe you'll get some ideas from this post!

Check  Back tomorrow for the next posts in my Top 10 Post Countdown!

Thanks so much to all my subscribers. I wouldn't have a blog without my readers!

My $100 Kitchen Cabinet Makeover!

By
I'm so excited to share today's post. It's something I've been working on for about 2 months, on and off. But it is finished and so today I'm sharing how we renovated our kitchen cabinets for about $100. When we bought our house in a little over a year ago, I fell in love with the kitchen just by the listings photos. UPDATE!!! Check out this  post to see how I also stained my island! It was HUGE and there was about a billion cabinets. The kitchen in our old house was a pretty good size also and I knew I would not be content with a smaller kitchen. So these pictures sold me. We bought the house and moved in and I lived with the kitchen for awhile but the cabinet color was really bugging me. I liked the counter tops well enough but they clashed with the cabinets. We did not have the money to replace all those cabinets so the next decision was to either paint or stain them. I stumbled upon General Finishes Gel Stain and thought the id

Thrifty Thursday-Marked Down Bread

By
Today I am sharing a tip that I use to stretch my meals out a little.  I buy marked down Italian bread loaves in the store bakeries.  I bought this loaf for $.72. It was only $1.00 to begin with but $0.28 is $0.28! Plus that's not the only savings you get with this. I love those boxes of frozen garlic toast that are about $3.00 for 6 slices!!! That's crazy. But sometimes, I just really want some bread with my meal. So I slice up the loaf and portion it out in 4 pieces per bag.  I then put all the individual bags in one big freezer bag and freeze. When it's time to eat, just pull out a bag. They thaw quickly. I spread softened butter on each side and sprinkle with garlic salt. I sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and sometimes I add Parmesan cheese. Bake at 375 for about 7 minutes or until they reach the desired crispness. With those other boxes coming in at about $0.50/slice, these are so much cheaper!!

My Frugal Cottage/Farmhouse Decor and how YOU can get it.

By
I have been on a decorating spree lately. I just finished my cabinets ( see them in this post here !) and so I've been changing things up a little bit. Plus spring is almost here and so I've been getting my flowers out for it! I also love to see how inexpensively I can decorate while still looking nice. I love the stuff from Pottery Barn, Magnolia Market, etc. but here on THIS blog, I'm on a budget! My favorite stores are thrift stores, specifically the Goodwill or Goodwill Outlet and stores like Ross, Homegoods and Michaels. And of course, the Dollar Tree! I try to make a lot of my stuff, or redo it so it's more my style. I've tried to include links to some of the stuff I've bought. None of these links are affiliate links, they are just there to help you out! I've already shared my "mantle"  already but I had to include it in this post. I made the star, my husband made the plaque, I covered the books and decorated the vase. Everythin
