M is for Money

I’m not sure summer is the best time to BBQ in Los Angeles. It’s too hot to even be outside, let alone standing next to a fire. But we’re craving some smokey goodness. I think we’ll wait till later in the afternoon, when hopefully it will be a bit cooler. For the carnivores we have – hamburgers, chicken and sausage. One the veggie front – eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash and bell peppers. Most came straight from our own garden. The extra food is for later in the week when we’ll be too tired to cook. Making extra food on the weekends is just one way we save money.

I hope everyone else is having a relaxing Sunday. Be sure to tune in Tuesday when the Festival of Frugality stops by with the best of the frugal articles from around the blogosphere. Get your submissions in by Monday afternoon. Here are last week’s carnivals:
