How many frugal things can you spot in this photo?

Just a little game . . .

I sometimes like going through my day watching for ways I'm living out frugality. I had just such a moment this afternoon in the blueberry patch.

Gardening seems to bring out the frugal nature in many of us, especially so if what a person is tending is edible. 

Anyways, I came up with 6 frugal things in this photo, plus one frugal thing that I forgot to do.

Like any other puzzle, the answers are upside down at bottom of post.

Guess what this is?

My son and daughter-in-law gave this to me on Mother's Day. What do you think it is? If you were thinking a tiny oar for a tiny row boat, think again.

It's a "last drop" spatula.

At one end there's an itty bitty flat scoop, good for getting under the rim of jars or scraping out the last little bit from a narrow-necked bottle of tinted moisturizer.

The other end is larger, but long and narrow and more scoop-shaped for retrieving more product, such as the last of the ketchup stuck to the sides of the bottle.

Both scoops are made of silicone, and therefore are flexible. From tip to tip, the spatula is about 9 inches.

Anyway, my son and daughter-in-law know me well and found a tool that will help me reduce waste and save money.
