Sitting here thankfull

Well I stopped over at Ollie's yesterday I picked up fruit cups for my second kitchen it was about 5 dollars for a huge box.  I can really enjoy a good deal and then some for the household here without a problem at all it seem as of late.  So now at this point I have a 15% discount coupon for Ollie's also for the house and I maybe back up there today here for a few more things.  The weird part about it all here is that I am not going thru as much it seems for the household now.  So yes I am getting cheaper around here without a problem at all.  As I sit here there are several things that I want to do for the house here and it will get done without a problem at all this week here.  My Husband does not complain to much about alot of things that I end up doing around here at all.  Since I do leave some things on during the weekends for him totally around the place and then some.  Plus I still cook as much as possible around here without a problem at all.  That is why the man never complains about what I do during the week in the household here.  With myself doing so much to cut the costs around the house here and cutting more off the budget here it seems to be working even more so at this point in time here without a problem at all since I am shutting off the trailer one bill at a time here.  With that being said here I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel finally around here with some things.  Plus with some things here I have realized that I do not have to shop all of the time for the household here and it is a good thing also.  With yesterday I ended up with 2 more drying racks for the household for when I have the huge laundry days around here for the household.  When I get 5-6 loads of towels that get hung up on the lines here all 7 get full pretty quick and there is not any room for the other laundry that is in the household also.  I told the cashier yesterday that I can save about 150 dollars off of the power bill here at my place by hanging laundry and turning off things during the day.  Alot of folks do not know this about the dryers sucking up alot of power.  There are alot of us in the neighborhood that do hang up the laundry here instead of using the dryer all of the time.  Also I do alot of the baking in the mornings around either place during the summer time to keep things cooler.  I learned that while I was in the trailer totally.  With that being said I also told the person that answered my call for the power company that why couldn't my power bills be that low while I was at the trailer.  She did not have an answer for me at all after I got the bill down to about 95 dollars while we were there.  Also that is part of the reason that my one Niece got so mad at me at the time when I blocked up the cable boxes so she could not watch T.V. until 3 am anymore while she was at the trailer.  So as I sit here and wander of why I did not get the 2 extra drying racks way before now here also, other than that I did not have the money at the time.  I can say that I made the right choice on that also while I'm at it all here.  So now I will start saving that much more around here to say the least and the racks pay off withing the next 2 months here also.  It amazes me that some people around here never bother to think about some things about their households in where to cut.  I have been adding things one at a time between the trailer and the household here for the past 17 years to say the least and it has been paying off slowly.  Once I realized that I do not need all but a quarter in what the bottle recommends then I started stretching and saving there on top of it all.  It takes some time and getting use to when you first start that part of things in the household.  Once you notice that wait a minute here the bottle is still here after a month then you reailze in how much you went thru before and start saving money.  Also in what I do for myown place is that I try to keep a back stock for the household for some things here in the house like I did over at the trailer also and it helps out on the budget that much more around on the budget.
