Shaking my head

As I sit here at the moment I am wandering about some things totally still and others I am not so much at all again.  I guess at this point in time it is a good thing that I am as cheap as I am here for my household and for my Husband sake also.  Yesterday here one of the neighbors asked in how much I brought into the house and I told him not enough for the week here at all.  This week was a down week is all compaired to the week before.  Only because I did not really need much at all from the store here yesterday morning and did pick up some things for the house for today since I am already cooking.  That is part of how it goes for the household at this point in time here totally.  Now when I go to turn in the nickels that are stock piled here in the place some will freak out when I get them into the bed of the pick up here this week.  This is what will get to some people and maybe not also at the same time here.  At least I do think alot on the cheap and how I can do things better for the household at this point.  That is the funny thing here about in what I do and some have not got that part of me as of yet.  With yesterday when I did pick up the few things that I did for the household here I was almost at a sticker shock when I picked up the 10 lbs of potatoes and the same amount for the onions also here.  At this point in time when the gas prices go down then so will everything else in town.  But then again it is almost the season for tourists to come to town and that drives all the prices up totally here.  It comes every year and I should have known totally on it also for the household.  So now at this time I am pretty much stocked up still on alot of things here in the place and will excape to PA to do my shopping for the summer months here totally.  That is what will scare some folks here on the block except for maybe 3 people totally.  When I first got here to the house from the trailer 16 months ago the one neighbors almost flipped when I went to Aldi's to get food for the house here.  After that they are use to me shopping at the cheaper stores now and the girls are understanding of why I do that now for the place along with many other things that I do.  With that part said here it is like second nature to get the cheaper end of the name brands for the household and nobody sticks their noses up about it at all.  All I can say is thank goodness that they did not see me drag in all the bottles of dish soap for the house here when it was on a good sale along with other things.  The poor guy that checked me out the week before was in shock since I split the bill in half with just the card for that store that I was in.  So now here at least I know with alot of things I am stocked up on and will continue to be that way for a good while here.  This is what will get to some folks by the time I am done here totally.
