Laughing

Well I am laughing at this point in time here without a problem at all.  Since there is at least 5 bussels of apples here at the house and finally we all get cooked apples pluss several pies pulled back.  This is what I get I guess for some things here at the household.  Why I am laughing about this is since I am cheap around here and could not pass up the deal that I got for the apples.  At least 7 bussels of apples for nothing is a good price.  Ok so some of them are bruised to snot and they make good cooking apples also.  So as I sit here at this point I will have the crock pots out around here for this afternoon to start in on alot of what I want to cook.  With that said it will cost very little in what the cost is to make the apples and alittle bit of my time to cut and slice apples.  And I get to polverize the apples for 5 kids also around here today.  May as well get other things done also while I am waiting on things to cook around here.  At this point I guess some things are paying off to be cheap around here also.  All I can say is that there are cookbooks and the net here for some things here in the household and it does help out.  With that said I did get the jump start again on the being cheap/frugal for the trailer.  My poor Husband still shakes his head and laughs about it all to this day.  We have tried alot of things and other things I will not even touch in my place at all.  With meat in zipper bags to re wash them will never happen at all.  Other things I have read in the past couple of months here did not sound to healthy niether that some did to save on T.P. for their place.  With that said I would rather use the Sears cattalog to wipe with.  So at this point there are ways to be cheap around the household and still have enough for some things for the place.  With some folks in the area they have tried to be cheap and it did not work at all for them.  When I started shopping for the month I would stick to what I got and make meals out of what I had in the trailer at the time.  I know at least one person that would go shopping once a day for dinner and hit up the food pantries also in the same day then complain that she was broke with 4 children in the household.  The person brought in more than what I did in the month off of her check, her husbands checks, and the system for the children at the time.  At the time I had about 150-200 dollar limit at the time for my place.  Still do to this day for both kitchens and to get other things for the household here.  Some months it is only maybe 100 dollars other months it is more depending on what is almost out or out at the time.  So it all evens out in the end around my place.  At this point the one woman still does what the heck she wants and goes from there since nobody stops her at all.  Since I threw the woman out of the trailer and refuse to let her in the house after we moved, pluss knowing that some have not changed I do not need the extra stress of some people in my own place at all.  With that being said since I do some things on my own and have food alergies I cook in how I need to for my place.  When some pop off with you need peppers in something period and tough then to pick out the peppers if ya don't like them all I do is shake my head at them still to this day.  With food alergies you can not do that at all even I know this part of it all.  I would hardly eat anything while I was at one house and some could not understand the reason behind it at that point in time untill others ran into others with food alergies.  With some of the things that I make it does not call for peppers at all and the ground pepper is optional anyway.  Why ruin 3 batches of sauce that I can not eat nor cook with peppers anyway.  Even the poor woman that I sit for forgets and I do not eat some things.  The girls have noticed that I had to wash my hands more after some lunches and my fingers were still itching and breaking out hours after I did.  So now all I can say is that some people just do not get it at all in what some of us have to do.  With everything here I do what I can and go from there.  And yes I take the cheap way on alot of things for my own household weather some like it or not here.
