Trying to get cheaper

Well I am trying to get cheaper around my place here totally.  With that said here I have been switching things over without a problem and still have the back stock on things that are getting used up here at the house.  Also here I have noticed that since I have ordered some things on line because I can not get the items up here in NY State at all and the stuff is cheaper than the sauces at the store with coupons.  The funny part of it is that the same UPS driver is the one that I deal with all of the time in where I work at.  He asked in what I ordered and I told him totally in what I got.  He looked at me and asked where he could get the sauce that I got and he could not find the stuff in the stores anymore at all and I told him where he could get it again for his place.  So now at this point in time I am real good on some things here at the house and some can not take that away from me now.  Also I have noticed around the area is that some folks do not like in what I do at all by keeping stocked up on alot of things here in the household.  If you watch the couponing shows at all it does pay off to listen to alot of things that they are saying.  That is one of the things that are old school ways with life is to use coupons and get the items on sale to get the stock pile going for the household.  When they say to get something on sale that is when you buy things totally within your budget they are right.  Also in what I do for the household here is that I try to cut things off that use power totally around here during the day and peek hours.  And since I hang alot of the laundry up on the drying racks at this point in time instead of using the dryer my power bill is lower than most people that I know here.  When I first moved into the house I asked the neighbors in how much their power bills were I about fell over with the one totally when they said 200 pluss dollars for theirs and the other is like maybe 70 at most at the other place.  Well I noticed that the power bill here at my place is on the lower end and not nearly low enough to where I want it at this point so I am working on that part also here totally.  Also I have been cutting back on alot of things here in the household while I am at it.  This is what some do not understand at all about in what I do.  Just like the kids yesterday morning could not understand in why I said to knock it off and then turned off the T.V. on them so they would listen.  As I told their mother theres 50 cents that is saved just in that part.  The kids were shocked.  I about fell over when some said that her kids were spoiled totally and it was coming to a screaching hault with her totally.  When the mother said that the babysitter gets respect by spending time with the kids and not spending hardly anything on the kids for things that are needed then she must be doing something right.  Since I do get the kids up and going with snacks and homework totally around the house when they get home then I let them loose on the neighborhood.  At least the boys I should say.  And us girls get out there and play also at the same time.  That is what gets to alot of the parents on the block also is that I am out there with the kids.  Sometimes you just have to let go and be a big kid with the kids and forget about everything going down in the world.  And I always did like a good game of tag anyway.  Just like yesterday when the almost 3 year old pops off with Daddy does not want me or my sister at all to me and I told her it was ok to feel that way and she and sissy were always wanted with me it made her feel better when I said that.  The poor girl was almost in tears stating the truth in her eyes.  So I told her in it was ok in how she felt since sometimes I still feel like she does even at my age.  The look on the girls face and a huge hug from her I knew that she knew totally I was ok in how she felt and did not down play it at all.  So she thanked me for the shirt that I got for her and asked if she could go shopping with me also the next time when I went.  I told her she had to ask her Momma and see what she said and we will go from there.  So now at this point in time at least the kids are realizing that I am the cheap one out of the bunch also here and do not mind in what and how I do things at all.
