Wandering

Well I am wandering what I will do today besides pick up the can today and some laundery.  Since it will be raining for most of the day I think I will stay totally in for the most part around here.  That is the fun part of things around here.  When the cashier asked me yesterday if I found everything I said for the most part and that I coulden't get something as of yet eather way points or no points.  She started laughing and knew.  Since I have started really going cheaper around here sometimes it is harder to just not get something while I am out shopping except the needs and that is it.  Most of it I can deal without most of the time anyway.  Even though 3 more racks would be nice around here to dry the laundery on the cruddy days when it is raining outside.  With alot of it is that I just do not like running the dryer at all in the household.  That is just me though some folks would rather run the dryer in thier places.  Oh well at least I can do my part on alot of things around here for cutting the costs.  And I will continue to do so and then some.  This is why I use the coupons and sales around here.  Pluss I found out that Kmart doubles coupons at times of the year also while I was there yesterday.  So now I will use more of the coupons over at Kmart.  It is a nice thing to be able now to pull money back that I use in coupons and the sales.  While I am doing this alot of folks do not even realize in what I am doing around here for that part of the household at all.  As I said to someone on Monday night is that I have to pull back alot more for a place now.  Since everything is screwed up around here in the park.  So the more I can get on the very cheap around here the better off my place will be, and the quicker we can get out of here.  What I mean by more is for the basic needs for food and some other things for the household at this point.  Some of the people that know me have realized that I can get the basics for the place for fairly cheap and go from there.  In what I do get I try to streach out as much as possible anyway around here.  Like with the bird seed here I feed the boy's and what I change out and what they throw on the gravel paper goes out side to the birds out there.  Then none of it goes to waste around here to say the least.  What alot of folks do not realize with me is that when they down grade me around here that is fine little do they know that we make it off of one income and I make it streach to the max around the place.  As I say some of us are very lucky that we can be housewives in the area and others also.  Once I started adding up the cost of myself working I found out that it was costing us more than myself sitting at home cleaning the can.  Also I wrote everything down that was going out in the paychecks also while I was at it all.  So what we did was pretty much stop eating out all of the time and I started cooking also around here.  Then I looked to see how much was going out on coffee and other things for work.  I was amazed in how much was really going out of my paycheck also.  When I had somewhat stopped working I rebudgeted the household and started thinking of what else I could do to cut the costs for the place.  After time it all started clicking around here and I almost lost it realizeing that I jumped in with both feet instead of adding things acouple at a time.  So I had to take a step back around here and undo what I was trying to do and add it more slowly around here.  After that everything started coming togeather for myself and other folks that are in the place.  Then I have kept adding things little by little to where it seems normal for us to do the things that we do for the household.  Alot of the things that I have tried and said about to my Husband took at least 2 months to get use to them and some did not stick at all around the place.  Like with the Kmart, grocery cards they have stuck in the household to use them.  This way we get things like extra discounts, double coupons, and extra points also for shopping at the places.  When I can get some free things from places I am a happy camper around here to say the least.  Some folks do not understand it at all with that part of me.  Even with the free samples that I get around here I am happy about that also.  With some of the cards they have for the cards that when you hit an amount on the card the better it is for the person.  I guess you get more points or something, I have not figured it out totally around here for the one card.  So eather way I will find out when it all happends around here.  I know that the one card is good at Kmart, Sears, and LandsEnd also.  So that is not a bad deal off of one shoppers card at all.  Pluss with the points that I rack up I can do some shopping in January for things here in the household.  Even if it is for T.P., and cleaners for the place it is well worth the trouble around here.  Since I do alot of shopping at Kmart anyway I can really say that the card has saved me while I am at it so far.  So it depends on the trip in what you get at the checkout lanes.  I have got stuff like a free bottle of soda to points to other free things.  So now since I just got like 5000 points yesterday I think it is all good around here.  I had to get a seperate recipt for something that one of the girls asked my Husband to have me pick up for her while I was at Kmart the next time.  I have the recipt in the bag and then this way there is no arguements on how much the twists cost me to get.  Eather way I will try my darndest for people eather way untill I am burnt.  Also at this point I can also say that the Green Works laundery deturgant works wanders for even the worst laundery in the household.  And you do not have to use that much niether.  It works better than Tide ever thought about working.  Ok so I tried it out on my Husbands laundery first what can I say and it was the point of I used the last of the Tide on other things.  It never hurts to try new things out at all in a household.  Since I have been going the cheaper route around here even more so as of late there are alot of things that I do behind closed doors that some folks do not see at all around here out of me.  Ok more later I hope.
