Shaking my head

With today my Husband gets to see me in total action with cleaning parts of the household.  It seems strange that I can go ahead and clean without to much worries at all since I am stocked up with that part of the household.  I am saying this since I do not have to worry about running out of cleaners untill at least November of this year here.  When I can keep things stocked up with sales and coupons I will do it to say the least.  This is what some folks have not got about me at all at this point in time to where others have after we all got togeather last month.  One of my Aunts that I really like asked in how I did it all around my place and I started telling her in some of the tricks that I have learned over the past 20 years and she loved it.  I can really laugh in what has not worked at all and others have over the years.  Since I am still switching alot of things over around here in my own household some were shocked when I told then in what I was doing at the time for the place totally.  In what alot of it is at this point in time here is that I had things from the trailer that got moved over to the house here 13 months ago today.  So now since some have been thrown out also it has helped on the budget totally for the household and the bills have pretty much came down again without to many problems at all.  I am not a total cheapskate but will do alot to streach out things here to save money also.  That is alot of what I could not get thru to my one Niece that was at the trailer with us for awhile also at the time.  So now she had to learn on her own in how rough it can be with little money going in and alot going out where she is at.  With alot of the things that I was trying to teach her totally at the trailer the girl ignored me on and that is fine.  At this point in time since some things are fixed totally here and are up and going others will be shocked in what will come down in the bill department totally also.  It is nice to have another heat source in the household here along with a gas range if the power goes out on me now.  So as I sit here and look at the things that need to be done for the household and knowing it will be done on the cheap side of things yet again for the week here.  That is the nice thing about my Husband letting me do the things that I do for the household here.  This is what gets to some in the area that knows us here.  Since I do the shopping for the household here I do get things on sale or at rock bottom prices here also and it depends on where I am also getting the shopping done.  Alot of it is knowing where the cheapest prices are in the area to get the rock bottom prices also along with keeping the stock pile up for the household.  That is what gets to some of the folks to this day here and that is ok.  When I started really of thinking of ways to cut the costs of the household it did not work totally at the trailer since I was figuring things out totally.  Also I jumped in with both feet instead of getting things done one by one at the time.  So I kept the laundry area going with cutting down on the soaps and the dryer sheets at the time to where in the summer I hung out the laundry to dry every April to about October depending on the weather.  Now I have lines up in the basement along with the drying racks also for the household here.  It works out better that way also now.  Then when I got laid off at times and my Husband was working I would start turning off things and got breaker bars for the trailer to cut it totally off at that point in time also.  It lowered the power bill about 100 dollars at the time and I did not mind having things turned off and unplugged also.  Then came the drying racks right before we moved out of the trailer since I could not reach over my head at all at the time.  So it knocked that much more off of the power bill and I had to make sure that my one Niece did not stick her feet under the clean laundry also at the time.  Also I had started cooking from scratch alot more also at the trailer about 3 years before we moved out of the place.  I did get chastized for that part by my Nieces grandmother totally for what I was doing at the time and it get that much cheaper also for that area.  By that time also I had started streaching out other things in the trailer that some did not like at all also.  The paper towels got knocked out with the cleaning rags and the paper plates were just not going in while I was at it all also at the time and some started hollering about it.  So now at this point in time alot of the things that were going down at the trailer came to the household of course and I have got alot worse in hanging things on the lines and racks to dry around here along with streaching out other things here in the household.  Also I figured that I may as well go with another way to start cutting more out of the budget here in the household by spending less money also on alot of things coming in.  May as well at this point in time and get the place that much cheaper after this also with the housework and other things to go along with that part.  Another thing in what I did was when I started with the meal planner I started marking things down of what was opened and when and the last it was used for the trailer.  That part helped out on what came into the trailer and what got used up also so I knew when I could go shopping for a major trip out also for the month at the time.  Now I have a list in a notebook for when I run out of things here in the household and do alot of it that way at this time.  And trust me I am about ready to get worse on that part here without a problem at all.  Since it is winter out and I have tried to keep a pretty good stock pile in the house for alot of things here I will start to run out about next month here for alot of things and I am hoping to have enough money to get alot of the groceries again here.  Since alot of the cleaners I am not worried about at all for the next 5 months at least here that is less that I have to get for the household.
