Shaking my head

Well I do not know in how some folks can eat out all of the time at this point.  Since I pass serveral of the fas food joints to drop off my Husband around here and that goes along with getting to the other stores also I did some quick math in my head in what I got yesterday for breakfasts here in the house.  It was 7 dollars for 8 breakfast sandwiches in total compaired to $7.44 to get 4 at one of the joints.  Gee what does this say around here in going out to eat all of the time.  So it makes me wander at times in how much some folks do it all and waste money while they are at it around the area.  Now granted some folks can not cook at all and then you get some like my aunt that it is just plain out wrong to let her cook also.  Anyway at least it is the tid bit to think about with some things around a household.  Also I have been known to cook breakfast the night before and heat it up the next morning also here while I was at the trailer and here in the house.  It all seems to work out better that way most of the time.  So now at this point in time there are alot of reasons of why I am going alot cheaper here to say the least.  Now knowing that some folks may not like in what I do for my own household and that is ok also by me.  All I can do is do for my place and that is it now and nomatter wat folks say to me or about me does not matter at all at this point in time.  Since I do hang laundry up to dry in the basement along with turning things off around here also during the day it works out.  When I started turning the T.V. off at first I would do it for acouple of hours a day the first week and bump it up an hour the next week untill I could go for 8 pluss hours a day without it around the trailer totally.  That is what bothered some folks totally when they first met me also at the trailer.  Also I was cutting dryer sheets in half at the time and still do that part just in case if I really need the dryer totally to this day.  Other than that I hang the laundry and use fabric softener also while I am at it all for here in the house.  So now at this time I am also shopping almost the same wahy that I have for years around here with coupons, bargin racks, sales, and doing the main bulk of the shopping once a month totally around here also.  The way that I do some things here for my place bothers some folks to this day and always will.  When I told one of the complainers to fallow me thru the store and watch what I did she took off and did her own thing.  By the time we all got up to the check out lanes at the time and she seen what I had in my cart totally and figured that I spent more than what she did, well she had another thing coming to her at the time.  Since I had alot more food in the cart that I had than what she had in hers and spent 40 dollars less at the time she was madder than a wet cat at me.  Also I had a months worth of food in the cart at the time and could work with what I had got totally at the time.  It was before I started using flour also at the time for things like pancakes and the biscuts for the trailer.  So now at this time here at least I can still say that I think like I am on food stamps without being on them here and now.  I had and still have a meal plan in place for the household so I know in what I will cook and will be cooking for the day or switch it with another day if it does not sound good to me at the time.  All I can say is try it out for about 2 weeks and see how that goes for the household and then add days to it when you are ready to.  When I was and stressing was on food stamps at the trailer years ago here I had no choice in the matter but to jump in and plan for the month totally.  That is how I got alot of the staples that I use today in the household now.  Also I have set up a budget for the household that includes 2 kitchens along with getting T.P., paper towels, dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, conditioner, regular bar soaps for the showers, and fabric softener, along with some other things that are needed in the household.  It goes along with cutting things down for the household at this time also and going from there.  Since I do not need some things once a month here it is either extra food or I roll the money to the next month totally for what I get in the month.  Also it helps to stay stocked up in the household totally in todays world.  When you have the extra cash on you buy some extras that you know that you need also and go from there.
