This Week's Frugal Tasks Saturday 29th June 2019

Darren and I had a lovely week away with my parents last week. We stayed at a resort in Mildura ( northern Victoria ) just near the Murray River. The mornings and nights were close to freezing cold but we did enjoy lots of delightful sunshine during the day.

Darren had his birthday while we were up there so we had a ride on a paddle steamer boat in the morning and a roast dinner at the resort that night. The roast dinner was an event holiday makers can pay for to the resort and a two course meal is provided. Twelve people attended and we had fun getting to know all the others on our table.

As you can imagine, it's a little hard to be thrifty when on holidays but we did manage to save some money.

* We used our thermos for morning and afternoon teas. This is such a simple task that saves so much money.

* Used our saved Flybuys dollars to buy a few holiday groceries for our meals.

* I took a frozen chop suey and rice for dinner one night.

* Space was limited in the car but I did manage to pack cranberry hootycreek biscuits, muesli bars, fruit, water bottles, rolls for lunch on the way up, tea bags, sugar and chocolate.
