Thinking of the day

Well I am thinking of the day already around here.  Since I am trying to go cheaper around here I will get my Niece out and start filling out more apps just to see what she can do for another job around the area.  The main thing is to try to keep her out of trouble the other is to boost her up also.  Since most of the kids that she hangs with do not have jobs I am trying to kick start for her at least around here.  Also the girl will be able to do more without her friends and go from there also.  So now I am also showing my Niece in how to do things around the can and say now this is what happens when you are totally broke while I am at it.  The next step for my Nice is when she is working and when to hit up the stores around the area for the better sales and afew other things.  With Nancy Hammond she did not show the children squat in what to do for shopping and many other things around her place.  As I have said before I gave the girl a crash course in cheapness and how I do things around my place.  My Niece has learned more in the past 4-5 weeks than she has in the past 13 years with Nancy.  Now with that being said the girl is greatfull that I took her in at this point.  Pluss she is getting geared up to work and then some around here.  First was the crash course of being cheap around here and think before you do.  At this point my Nice has not seen me cut the dryer sheets in half yet and she will learn about it when I start in on it around here also.  Since I am not ready to do that part yet and I have enough to last for alot more loads when and if I use the dryer this year.  With that being said I know I have a ton of landery to get done around here still and I may just wait untill Saturday to get alot of it done around here also.  Then I will end up getting alot of things done over the weekend and have extra help for the place.  I will be hanging alot of laundery still since it is still nice out around here.  Also my Niece has not figured out of why I hang alot of the laundery yet and I will show her of why when the power bill comes in for the month.  So now to think of more ways to save on everything also around here and make it all work here, the other step is to get everyone to agree to it in the household also for the can.  I already use coupons and the sales for alot of things here and streach out more than I should anyway and knowing that I can do more here to streach out the stuff in the can.  I can laugh alot of the time becuase knowing that some of the neighbors get mad in what I do so far around the neighborhood.  They see stuff coming in once a month if not longer depending on what it is and figure that I don't streach out as much as I do around here.  And they see me hanging out laundery constantly while I am at it.  The funny thing also is that most of the place around me is broker than broke and still spend in what they all do not have at all.  When some of the folks around here do not see some things coming into the can they all ask in how I can go without something and all I say is very easy it does not come in so therfore I do not miss the whatever at all around here.  When some ask me why I shop at some places and show them the long total in what I spent and got for the money they are in awe.  I do things alot differant than what they all do.  I also told one I will teach you in how to cook for the household.  They pick up the frozen dinners all of the time for thier place.  I know others who can burn water also without even trying at all.  Not that I totally watched my family cook all of the time when I was growing up I just got to the point to where I was able to crack the recipie when I got alot older.  I have been able to snag some things off the net around my place and make it my own also with very little problem.  This is why alot of times I do cook from scratch and take the cheap way out to feed the household while I am at it all.  Alot of folks that are here alot of the times know in what and how I do things for the place.  The cooking and cleaning on the cheap is part of what I do around here for all times anyway.  When I get asked in how I do alot of things I say in how I do it all.  Just like people notice that I have alot of flour, rice, pasta, onions, and many other staples in the can.  With the flour I can make muffins, breads, and the pasta.  With the rice it is part of the casserole dish along with other side dishes, the onions in the place goes with alot of what I make anyway.  The wierd part is that you do not have to spend alot to have food for the household.  Another thing is that I read all of the time for things for a guide line.  And yes I have the emergancy fund for the grocery store.  I can go into Aldi and shop for the month off of 100 dollars and have plenty of food walking out.  That includes soups, some meats, onions, flour, frozen veggies, bakeing powder, rice, pasta, and a few other items.  Then I get over to another store to get the yeast for bakeing for the place.  Now with that I have a good basic start there to cook with.  Since I do have the rice cooker it is easier to make the rice dishes for the household.  About a year ago someone who came over asked what was that and pointed at the rice cooker.  I laughed becuase she said that what I was makeing smelled good around here and I said my lunch.  I got the hint on what she was trying to do and cut her off at the pass.  The person I am talking about basicly gets food stamps and gets to go off the food panteries also.  So by that point I was running low on some things and she could not understand in why I was makeing rice with the leftovers for lunch and dinner.  I was alone at the time and nobody else to cook for so alot of it came out of the rice cooker in what I made.  So eather way I was eating at the time here.
