Shaking my head

Well at this point in time I am shaking my head around here totally.  I have figured out as of yesterday that at least I can do some things around here that I have cut the costs down that much further and will go cutting again for the place.  Since some have not figured out in what I have done around here as of yet and it is ok by me at this time.  I am still working on cutting things down for the household and some have finally figured out one of the things that just drive me nuts around here also as of Friday.  I looked at one of the regulars in my household on Friday nights here and asked her if she was gonna unplug her charger for her phone after 5 minutes of not being pluged in.  She looked at me and said oh that will not bother the power bill at all.  My answer was there was 3 dollars for what she just done and that it is not good for the charger to be plugged in on a constant basis also since it is a ghost power sucker around here while she is at it.  Now I know why some folks power bill is over 150 dollars a month at their place totally at this point in time.  Since I am use to turning things off and unplugging things also around my place I had to explain to the gal in why I do the things that I do for my place also and shown her the prof in my power bill on Friday also here.  The gal about freaked out when she seen the bill and how low it was in my place totally.  So now at this point in time I will be getting that part that much lower around here also and some are not going to like it what so ever out of me now.  Also now at this time here at least I am thinking of more ways to cut the costs for the household also around here and some will cut me down for what I am doing.  Since some keep their place at 65 at all times and I can not do that with the birds at all since I do not want the avian vet here constantly because the boys have colds and other things, also it is worth keeping the heat up around here to say the least.  So now at this point in time here there are some things that I will cut down in place of the gas bill also for the household and that is why they all make coupons to use for other things also.  Since I have coupons for 15% off on total orders at some stores and other coupons here it is well worth the time and trouble to do things like that around my place.  Also to cut down on cleaning supplies for the household while I am at it for the place here and now even more so.  With that said my Husband and myself did something that we hardly ever do at all around here and that is go out to eat some place.  Since we were at one of the places in Irving yesterday since I had to look for somethings for my trip we both had desided that it was best to stop for lunch at the one place since we were already there and they had what I wanted also at the store.  The gal that was over on Friday stopped over yesterday after work and seen the one sweat shirt that I picked up for my Grandmother and wanted to know where I got it at.  Now to pick something up for my one Sister and go from there this week to keep her happy.  That is a draw back around my place totally here.  So I will do it on the cheap side and go from there also.  When my Grandmother asks (an 89 year old) oh they should have that up in NY State and I have to tell her no on it she gets confussed totally that we do not get things here that they all do in Illinois and across the river in Mo. at all.  It is the funniest thing that I have to do here also is to tell her that we do not get some things here that they all get and take it for granted.  This is part of the reason of why I order somethings on line and ship it up to NY State at this time.  When I make the call to a place they all know that I am about down to the last bottle of what I have also.  So now at this point in time it is cheaper to get the Countery Bob's sauce than A-1 sauce and alot better than that once I think of it also for the household.  Anyway at this point in time here at least I can say that I have been cutting the costs with and without the coupons here for the household without a problem at all.  Also now that I have been walking on the cheap side of life around here it is about ready to get cheaper also for the place since I turned a new leaf for that part of life while I am at it.  This is what my family and others have not got out of me at all at this point in time anyway and they never will at all.  So as I sit here and knowing that I am using the back stock up also for the household in what is left and going to things that I have paid very little for here it will work out for the best also here in the place.  This is part of the reason of why I have the back stock here is that I know that it is cheaper on myself and the household totally and I can wait for the sales at the stores or pick up what I need when needed.  Since this will be the last time that I go to Illinois here this year some will have to deal with it and others it is the tough cookie time also if they do not like it at all.  Since I still pick up the nickels along the way here with walking and other things there is not much that I can do for some who want me down on a constant basis at all.  Also I am not as sick as I was by moving up here to NY State than what I was in Illinois.  I maybe an outsider still after almost 20 years here where I am at and that is ok since I am sick for at most twice a year now instead of every month other than 3 days out of the month.  So I will take the good and the bad out of the mess and go from there now.  That is how I am looking at it and oh well at this point in time for somethings that have went on over almost 20 years since I have been up here also.  Alot of it happened in the past year and I have delt with it all for the most part.
