Another day

Well today is another day to get things done cheaply around here to say the least.  This is what has scared folks the most is when I can get all of it done for maybe 5 dollars a day in what I have to do for the place all of the time.  With alot of what I will be doing is to cut back on alot of the cleaners as I start in on the housework today.  There is alot on my plate today and knowing that I will be cleaning on top of it all around here it seems strange that I have to get some things here for the household now.  With that I am gearing up for next month already for the day and knowing what Ihave to do for the trailer and the house at this point in time.  This is what is really killing me around here is that I am not getting the help like I really need it anyway here.  Even though I know I did the right thing by throwing out my Niece last month either way I went for the both places and telling her boyfriend no on the both of them moving into the house here also.  With my Niece she is more of a drain than some realize and her boyfriend does not have a clue as to what she will pull either way in my household.  The one bottle that was half left when I threw the girl out has not been totally used up as of yet a month later, I have done alot of dishes also around here for what was used also.  So here I am thinking of ways to streach alot of the things out even more around here and I have got it all straight it seems by this time.  I can really say that I have noticed that things are looking up for alot of things of myself going cheaper for the place.  With yesterday of being asked again in how I have managed alot of it between both places I told the person by cutting down on everything that is in the household.  I have had to over the years and alot of it stuck from when I was really broke when I first got up here also.  Some of the folks that do come over to my place are just suprized in what I will do to be cheap for the household.  It means no paper plates at all, cleaning rags, cutting all the bills down, and slashing the grocery bill as much as I can for the household.  As I told someone yesterday always try to keep tomato juice on hand for soups and pastas for the household.  Pluss that some places like Aldi and Save A Lot are best friends of mine for the household here.  I did not tell the poor gal about the menu planner that I have ran for the past several years for the household at all.  For the menu planner in what I do is wright down the meat for what I want that day and build from there.  There are times where I put down pasta or pizza for the day and I make sure that eather I have sauce or the makeing of the sauce for the meal.  My husband laughs all the time when I do this since I can cook and make the best sauces from scratch for the household.  And I may do this today for tonights dinner.  With that being said I do rotate the dinners every month around the place.  Some nights it is chicken and I may have chicken for the week as leftovers others is a roast for the household.  Also there is meatloaf night around here about once a month or every other month.  Some folks do not get that some things are cheaper if you cook from scratch also for the household.  It also helps to cut down on the food bill to say the least and you eat better with cooking from scratch.  When I started all of this out years ago it was hard at first to get the hang of it and it took longer than what it should have.  It is something to get use to for any household with 2 working parents now days.  Or the single parent households.  With that being said in what I did was splurge on a good food processor for the household and yes I do use both all of the time for the place.  I shreed all of the cheese that I need for what I am makeing to chopping onions or sliceing potatoes for dinners.  With the mixer I use it for grinding up meats, pastas, mixing up things, ice cream, and several other things for the household.  Yes my KitchenAid things have lasted thru the years in my household.  It is well worth the cost for KitchenAid products in alot of the households.  With myself I have blown up several of the hand mixers out there on the market untill I got the KitchenAid stand mixer for the kitchen.  With that being said on Black Friday 3 years ago I bought the KitchenAid mixer and it has lasted longer with what I have had to do for the household to say the least.  I also saved up for the blasting thing.  This is what happends when you are broker than snot and will go to the cheap side to have the money for better things that will last in the household.  With alot of things I can also deal without for the place and I know I was born in the wrong time era either way I go.  I can deal without the T.V. and many other things for the house here and will continue to turn things off during the day weather some like it or not here also.
