What frugal find came your way today?

Got an entire sliced haslet from Mr M today on RTC It is now in the freezer in little packs so we can have lunch meat whenever we like.

someone in my building a while back had put in the bin store 3 lovely felt pictures, the ones with a simple stitched design two in dark chocolate and one in cream and and big wooden frame with a print in it. I thought the bag that they had left outside of a bin felt a bit heavy and awkward so went to move it and found all those so in they came! put another picture in the big frame and hung the others straight up on the wall. Im pretty sure it was from someone moving out at the time which is lucky cos the rest of us know each other and Id hate for someone to come round and see them ;-) !

Well I did not gain but someone else did and I am not sure why.

A old clothes prop that was no good and old broken rotary line that someone stole from garden :rotfl:

It was put out for the refuse collectors on friday right next to the bin but inside my fence (if that makes sense).

I have been meaning for days to get it back in put my green bin out tonight and it has gone some time since yesterday morning.

Any how I am getting a free single bed to go in the back bedroom tomorrow. Just need to get a bottle of drink for the delivery person.

Made a storage bag for potatoes - cost me nothing (but time) as I used a piece of material I had lying about.

Probably a gardener lol! An old clothes prop would make a good tree stake, and an old rotary dryer has lots of bits than could be dismantled for stakes, plus the wire/rope would come in useful. (No, it wasn't me who stole it :rotfl:)

I did think about it later that it might be for scrap metal value.

I found 10p hidden in the grass when I was walking my dogs this morning.

I won't be spending it all at once!

frugal find today? well I found a one pence in the gravel in front garden - Its joining its mates in the 'lost penny' jar and will be given to charity before christmas when i take my 20p jar to the bank to be changed.
doesnt sound like much but last year I picked up £18.78 in lost pennies!

A piece of stiff cardboard from the back of an A4 pad in the bin at work. I'm going to use it to back my cross stitch picture with, and on the way home it didn't half come in handy as a fan!
