Wandering

Well at least I know that there is some help for the furnace here at this point in time.  Now it is looking like the fire place will be going more and more here with the next several days here with it dropping to about 0 out on Sunday night.  Since I am trying to save here on the gas bill it will start hurting here within acouple of days with it being so cold out.  So now at this time since the fire place is going here already for the day and there will be wood added to it of course thru out the day.  With alot of the things that have been going on here at least I can count on some things still for the place.  Since I do have a ton of coupons here in the household again it is a good thing if I get out and about totally for this weekend.  This is why I say to get the paper with the coupons in them be it Sunday or Wednesday.  Some would get mad at me totally since I would go thru the the paper for the coupons nomatter what.  One of the better things that happened with some people at the can.  It all goes along with saving money totally nomatter in what goes on in the household.  With that being said here with extra money going out of the pay checks this year there are ways to get the money back in a way for the household.  Coupons are one of the ways with the sales at the stores.  Another thing is to have a house meeting and explain this is what we are trying to do from now on here for the place that we are all at.  The children will try to help in the household if you let them if they are in the household.  If they are and do not want to help with things then the huge shock comes once a week when they ask for something and tell them no since this happened here the answer is no.  There are dry erase boards to mark down what the child does for the household.  When there are several children in the place then get several of the boards and mark down for each child in what helps to cut the cost for the household and rotate the names on the boards so children do not get board with one thing.  When the child does something on the board mark it down every time.  Now just rememmber that with the power it will take 2 years to see a drop in that part of things.  There are things that the children are willing to do to help out most times.  So with that part I have asked my nieces and nefews while they were young to help with dinners also.  They would say in what they wanted and I would pick out some of the things that sounded good for that night and ask again about it.  Then the troup would help in the kitchen while I was cooking.  I ended up with a good cheap meal for the night from asking and cooking with them.  There are always ways to save money for the household totally and sometimes you have to look for it nomatter what goes on.
