Now it is slow

When I first started going cheap/frugal it was a slow proccess and still is around here to this day. When I first started this I had an old window A/C and started blocking the windows to make it cooler in here. When my Husband lost his job some years ago and I was working full time at a fast food place not makeing much at all around here at all. It was barely enough to pay the bills at the time coming into the can let alone food for the 2 of us here also. SO I got to reading and pulling myself togeather at the time of what can I do to save the can. Then it all hit me that some things I can live without some things for the place. The paper plates and the paper napkins were first to go here in the place. Since I had to do dishes at the time anyway it was something that was not needed anymore. There were so many things that needed done and I tried to jump in with both feet. That is why alot of things did not work out for me at the time also. I backed off somewhat and took one thing at a time after that. Alot of the things that I do have stuck thru the years and have saved some serious money for myself and my Husband. Like useing less of cleaning products, and I even cut the dryer sheets in half around here also. Now over the years around here I ended up getting a used sofa and a few other items also while I was at it all. For about 14 years I kept the sofa becuase it wasent trashed hardly at all untill about the 14th year that we had it. I diden't bother to get another one at all becuase I was here most of the time by myself and still am. As some folks say buy used and save the money from there. With myself that works some of the times around here. With alot of the appliances that I have here in the can most of them were bought new. What I did do was wait untill they went on big sale and then baught the item that was wanted and needed around here. Since the summer is coming so quickly I will be useing the convection oven more. Today is one of the last days I will be useing the big oven around here. Since it heats up the can so much and the convection oven is not so bad to heat up the can. Anyway over the years it has got alot easier and I have found more ways that are cheaper for my place. Now acouple of years ago I went serching over the net to see who else was out there for recipies and afew other things. That is where I ran into the site www.hillbillyhousewife.com. Of course I was looking onto expanding on the frugal side for cooking. I have has alot of them that I always used and Susanne have gave that gental nudge on opening the door alot more for new stuff.
