Re: What frugal thing did you do today?
We never know what to buy my mom for Chanukah, especially this year since she moved from a 3-bedroom home to a 1-bedroom apartment. But she loves to bake and is always sending us and others cookies, cakes, etc. So we packed a box with a 5-lb bag of sugar, a 5-lb bag of flour, a few containers of jimmies and other toppings, a couple of boxes of ziploc bags, some new plastic containers and a new rolling pin because the handle was coming off of hers.
The gift itself wasn't necessarily frugal in cost, but very practical and useful in purpose. Much better than giving her some little decorative item that she has no space or use for.
