I had my annual free furnace check having made an appoitment the Natural Gas Company who fears any bad publicity about gas leaks. they also checked my hot water heat and the natural gas heater in the garage that is only used in extreme cold to keep pipes from freezing. I fear I will need a new furnace as this is the original [1976] and way past it;s life expectancy.
I was thrilled when the specialist said he had the same brand and that since we keep it clean by changing out the filters when needed, there was no reason to be concerned.
2nd frugality, was staying out of the stores sine the begining of Sept. Have bought only milk and fruit at the farmer's market.
Best frugal tip: write a simple menu plan and buy only what is needed using pantry supplies as the base.
