What a morning

Well I got up to the doctors office and got out to Kmart and Aldi while I was at it all this morning and I went to go pay the one for the truck and nobody was there at all.  Now I am worried about that also becuase it is not like the person not to be there at all.  At least I am trying to get that paid around here also.  With today I came in way below budget to say the least and I am liking it.  Kamart was 91.90 without coupons and that was with coffee and food for the cat and dog around here and Aldi was 93.55 for a whole load of groceries for the 2 kitchens here.  Now with that being said I did not need flour nor rice as of yet for the household kitchen as of yet.  I know next month I will need flour for the place along with some other things.  I think that is what is getting to some folks also is that I am so cheap at times that it hurts them to come over to my place at times.  No wwith some folks I know that they get food stams for their place and figure that it is ok to waste them totally around their place.  Now with alot of things I try to keep something on hand at all times for the freezers so when I get low on food I still have something that I can fix or the bag of flour so I can make the pancakes.  I think that is what gets to alot of folks that come over.  What I end up doing is when I do get out to the stores here is to find things I can make from scratch alot of the times.  This is how I end up expanding alot of my food budget around my place.  I know that in what I do for the place here is that with some things here it is eadier to make biscuts and other things out of the flour along with other things.  Also I get alot of chicken while I am at it.  While I was on food stamps at the trailer I tried to expand them as much as possible while I was on the system.  I know some people who are on the food stamps and they buy all garbage depending on how much they bring in also.  Then there are times where folks can buy the better meat and fish also.  I know in what I did and it was not pretty to get food into the can let me tell you.  I only got 150 dollars for 2 people and that was it.  I know at least one couple that get 250 dollars at this point in time and still have a hard time and I keep shaking my head about it all.  It makes me wander in what they do also for the household.  With alot of it some do not know how to cook that well at all.  Another thing is that I was wandering in is if the welfare system would put in classes for how to shop and cook while some are on the welfare waggon.  When I can say that I had to learn on my own in what to do while I was on the stamps and keep learning and cutting for the household.  Now I do it without help at all for the household.  That is what the one couple did not understand is that I did not go get help at all and still made it for groceries for the month and had more than what they had when they have the hand out.  So now I can say yes I am cheap around here and like it all.  Now I know why some have been mad at me totally because they know that I am right on some things on how to feed some people.  Even on the tight budget that I have here.  It makes me wander sometimes on what some are thinking at the store.
