Shaking my head

I am shaking my head around here to say the least.  You may as well say I ended up busting someone that did not want to be seen.  Well it started a couple 3 weeks ago when someone had said something to me about being on the net way to much around their place.  As I said to the person who said something to me about it don't worry about it at all and your not on all of the time that I can see.  I busted her soon to be ex husband on line more than us girls are.  Anyway with 5 kids in the household in one place I told the poor woman that I will help out totally and lets go since it will be a bumpy ride at first.  Now I will show her some of the ropes for going cheaper in the household this week.  With the prices going up all over the place now a days some have to start at the grocery store to start saving on money around the place.  I know that is where I started.  I was happy years ago when we got an Aldi in the area where I am.  Ok there are several stores that have the off brands for groceries around here.  With that being said alot of the things here in the household are not name brand things.  Yes it does bother some folks around the area that I am not getting the name brand items for the household alot of the times now.  Also with that said I can normally save at least 200 dollars by going to get groceries at Aldi and Save A Lot around here.  Of course there are 3 other places that I shop at also here for other things that are needed in the household.  Also there are other ways to cut down on alot more around a household.  Like with today if I do a load of laundry I will not use a full cap of anything for the laundry at all and what comes out of the washer here will be hung up without a problem at all.  Another thing is that I am in high gear again for turning things off and unplugging them also around the place here.  I started that part while I was in the trailer years ago.  Now I am worse on turning things off in the household around the new place after we all got the meter put in.  Alot of folks do not realize that you can turn something off around the house and it still draws power if it is plugged in.  This is why I have the breaker bars all over the place to shut off the power to things like T.V.'s, the computer, modem, and several other things here in the household.  I will see with the first bill here at the house where I stand at totally with doing what I am doing of course.  There are alot of things that does not seem practical at all to some folks that know me that I do for the household here.  Oh well at least I found something that works for me here and it keeps me busy also.
