Those savings will be an extra cushion that, I think, is now more important than ever.<br />Shopping the clearance is a great way to acquire papercraft supplies! Well done on getting the dies so inexpensively- I know those are costly if purchased at full price.<br />Your homemade truffles and packaging sound wonderful. I'm sure they will be a hit!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680467667767592482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075977402894025942.post-90012026993505254762023-02-04T07:36:22.834-06:002023-02-04T07:36:22.834-06:00Thank you for the encouragement, Patsi!

I love that you called it a "renewed focus" because it does take continual evaluation and intention to really make the most of what is available to us.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680467667767592482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075977402894025942.post-66392630664853737402023-02-04T07:23:46.267-06:002023-02-04T07:23:46.267-06:00Kelsey, you really hit the jackpot with thrifting ...Kelsey, you really hit the jackpot with thrifting this week. I love the thrill of the hunt as well. Even though prices for many things have gone sky high we have made the decision that we will not be increasing our budget but focusing on stretching what we have and saving more. It is so satisfying to come to a place where the focus is like minded and supportive. Right now, I am enjoying making valentines and little candy boxes to put homemade truffles in. I love anything that has to do with paper crafting. That is one of the areas where waiting is a definite plus. I love some of the vendors on one of the shopping channels but their prices are off the charts. I wait and watch until things go on clearance and have been able to score some really great dies for pennies on the dollar.

Your post was filled with all of those things. I loved it, it is so inspiring and in line with our intent for the year. I'm looking forward to this weekly feature!patsi @ a working pantryhttps://aworkingpantry.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075977402894025942.post-31950743324897806282023-02-02T21:23:53.555-06:002023-02-02T21:23:53.555-06:00Great job on the stove, Lana!

And, of course, there is the thrill of the hunt in the meantime!Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01680467667767592482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075977402894025942.post-89231934857841565862023-02-02T15:53:17.281-06:002023-02-02T15:53:17.281-06:00I love Rachel Ashwell's books!

I looked for abut two years for a Jenn Aire electric stove to replace our ancient one. I finally found one that needed a control board and we paid $50 and then with repairs it was $750 which was less then a quarter the price of a new one. Just think how boring it would be to pay full price for everything! Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09380649410508372279noreply@blogger.com
