I'll admit
I havent moved much as of yet except to hang the one load of laundery out already. The next load is in the washer and I am waiting for the bank to open while I am at it all already today. Pluss I got my Hubby to chuckle around here also. Since I have cans to take back once again and I am being lazy about it untill I get enough to really take back. Throwing money into the one account is so much fun around here I tell you. Since I have desided to put all of the cans into the one account and put my wood burnner on hold for the time being around here it kind of stinks. It works though to get even more around here by collecting free money for the household. Some folks do not understand in how and why I do things on the cheap/frugal anyway here. Well after all said and done I end up not spending as much as some do every month and still can do some things by the end of the month of course. It can be a pain by streaching things out even though it is well worth the trouble. Just like the Green Works products around here. After I poored the laundery deturgant I thought it would be watery and it is not. It is the same with the cammode cleaner also. Now I am stuck on the Grean Works line of things for my household. It may be more expencive in some ways and that is fine by me. Since the line is that good it can be cut down enough to make it worth while for my place. This is what I mean by streaching out the dollars around here for stuff like that. You can also do it for the food bill also while you are at it all. One of the tid bits from myself. There are lots of places on the net for streaching the food dollar also. Even my Husband was amazed in what I can do with some flour, water or milk, and pan drippings for gravey around here for some dinners. Once you get use to start cooking on the cheap you want to take it farther eather way. The trick is to get everything in season or from the freezer case and it helps out eather way. There are lots of ways of doing things for the households. Just like the fried chicken around here I put 2 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of garlic, 2 tablespoons of onion, a quarter cup of creole seasoning into the mix for the chicken and do it that way. When the chicken floats on top then it is done. Then you can have mashed taters or fries with it and a salad. So now you know why some folks hollar at me for cooking around here all of the time. What I do for around here I pretty much play with dinners and see what works and what I can make better also from a recipie. One of my nieces even said that she loved coming down to my place becuase I always made enough food for everyone and it was always good. Guess she got sick of alot of what her grandparents fixed also. As I say someone elses cooking is always better eather way you go. I do have the money saveing meals on by Sandra Lee and I am listening to what she is doing. I think I still have her beat to snot around here for 4 people. It is called cooking and shopping on the cheap around here. My poor Husband laughs about it with me. There are a ton of possiblities around my place for food. Between the rice and everything else that I have here in the can there are alot of choices here. I do have left over chicken in the fridge and that will go for the sandwich maker around here for this week. When folks think they are out of food they are not. Look at the shelves in the kitchen and a few other places if you have places to stash things also. You can make a meal more than likely out of what is left and then some. I always have dried beans in the crannies of my kitchen. Then this way all I have to do is get eather salt pork, bacon, or a ham stake to make dinner for that night. There are ways of fixing dinner on the cheap all over the place. Just look around and you can fix all 3 meals without a problem. This is why I always have at least 2 bags of flour in my place along with eggs. There are ways of cooking and not have to think about hungery kids also. Make enough pancakes and throw the leftovers in the freezer for another time. You can do the same for biscuts also along with other things. You can also make bread sticks from the bags of flour. I use to drive some nuts for what I use to do and still do around here. Some get mad others don't at all. Then others tell me I am just plain wrong and to cook right around here also while I am at it. The person I am saying about is no longer a friend also. I do not have any peppers at all in my household and do not plan on bringing them into the place so I will get sick for anyone becuase they swear by peppers and have to have them with everything that they cook. Now try to explain to some that you have food alargies also and they do not wanna hear about it. So there are no peppers in my place and it gave some children a break from peppers out of my place when I cook. So anyway at least I do not have to have somethings to make the food taste better around here for when I cook becuase, some things are not needed to make the food better. Also I know some folks can not cook that I know. When some swear by peppers all of the time you get sick of them totally and I found out that I had alargies to them when I was young. So here I do not use peppers of any kind here in the household and food tastes better without them to me.
