Way to much here

Well today has already been a long day so far and I need to get the rest of the laundry done around here.  At least I still have 5 more racks that I can get the rest of the junk up that needs to be washed here.  It is a never ending battle around here to say the least on some things that always need to be done for the house here and at least it will be done on the cheap side with me.  So at this point yes I am still driving down the costs of alot of the things that are coming into the place at this point in time.  All I can really do is drive down all the bills as best as I can to make it around here.  Even the one gal up at the doctors office said the price of propane about killed her this month also.  I guess I got lucky on that part of things here.  I would rather pay the 85 dollars to the gas company per month than a grand for propane every 5 months here.  So as I sit here and start to wander about some things that are just out there and knowing that since I am trying to get everything done for my place I got asked again today in how to be cheaper than snot.  Well I told the gal to start washing on cold water for the washer unless things were that grimmy and to cut the laundry soap down also for her place.  With that said I also got asked in what all that I did for my place here.  I looked at the person and said that she did not have that long to really listen to me say what I do.  After I told her to get 3 drying racks for her place and the ones I got they would pay for themselves within about a month or two also she was shocked.  That is when I told her my power bill was only about 65 dollars for the month here without useing the dryer that much.  Ok so the bills here are cheaper than the trailer ever thought about being at this point in time.  This is what is getting to most of the people in Sabre Park at this time.  Oh well on alot of folks that could careless in what the bills are at their place.  I will say that I do not run alot of the lights here for the house while I am at it besides not using the dryer around here.  The funny part about all of this is that the lines and the racks have really paid for themselves around here in more times than I can count.  Also since I am cutting down on alot of the cleaners here in the household it has worked out better than expected for the house here.  That goes along on watching the food budget also for the house while I am at it all.  Since I am running 2 kitchens at once yet again it's like I can sniff the bargins out around here in the stores without a problem at all.  I am trying for the goal on that part around here for about 200 dollars a month at this point for everything.  Since I do not need alot of the paper products here for the household here it does help out to say the least on the budget.  This is why I still have raggs for the household here so I do not go thru a roll of paper towels within a week here for both bathrooms and the kitchen.  Abit of Bleach and a rag goes along way around my place.  Pluss I hang up the rags when they are clean to air dry them.  that is what hurts alot of people that I know around here totally.  I still have to laugh at times here with the folks that I know that are in the projects around here since everything is included in their rent except the car, insurance, groceries, and the phone.  All they pay for is the over charge of things every so often at their place.  To where I am paying for everything here at the household.  I guess this is why I am trying to go cheaper around here totally in my place since I do not have the luxury of everything included and for food stamps at all.  And maybe this is why I do not get alot of the paper plates and paper towels at all for my place here.  When someone gets 204 dollars a month in food then I am just beside myself here at my place.  So now at this point I did start cooking more from scratch also for the household and I go for the cheap route for alot of things that I get at the stores.  When some figure that I am on food stamps when I am not I let the person know that also here for my place.  This is why I say get the flour, rice, yeast, baking powder, non butter sticks, onions, garlic, pasta, and some meats for the household.  Also I have the powdered milk for some of the things that I cook here while I am at it all.  Since my Husband is really not that picky around here on what I cook I am better off here.  I know that some are very picky on what they eat and they all know better than to start trying to say something about what I cook for the day here.  So now at this point yes you can get almost everything cut down out of the budget here and do what you can for it.
