It's that time of the year; harvesting what we've sewn for the last growing season. I got a few more stockpile items today. There were some decent sales on canned goods and I am in love with whole wheat pastry flour. I checked out the camping section and made some notes for my future needs.
I'm surprised at myself how good I am with cash. I often forget I do in fact have a grocery budget and it's perfectly ok to buy food! I am not going over budget if I spend $20 at the farmer's market! I believe that was the first food purchase of the month and I'm already thinking it's too much. A far cry from my former thinking while using plastic (including debit) that "another $20" won't hurt when in fact, it was.
I have a knitting class tomorrow night. I'm hoping to add that to my list of cottage industry skills. No such thing as too many of those. I have about 6 other things under that umbrella that I know how to do and actively already pursue. If I can learn how to knit it'll certainly make the off grid winters go by easier... and warmer!
Gathering food, cash and skills! Can't beat that harvest.
