Look around

I will say it again and again here you can cook and bake on the cheap around the household nomatter in what you do in todays world.  Alot of the times I can get things down with that part to about 10 dollars a week and run with it all for the household.  It also helps when you have basic things in the household at this point in time here to get dinners cranked out.  Between chicken, rice, pasta, butter, flour, powdered milk, some ground burger, eggs, a sack of potatoes, and some canned/frozen veggies for the household.  When the pay is there at this time in some places and more folks are unemployed at this time alot of folks are watching their wallets just get thinner and thinner in todays world at this time it puts a hurt on alot of us.  Some folks that have the job or jobs in thier household at this time have not got in how some of us survive with only one person working at this time.  I will say that with one person working you get use to the one income that is coming into the house and budget it all out for the place.  Pluss not only that some of us hope that we are stocked up enough for one month out of the year when there is not much to the paycheck coming into the household also.  This is why I have got use to making dinners for under 10 dollars a week here for the place and get leftovers also out of the deal.  There are web sites like www.hillbillyhousewife.com to help out alot of the times to help stick with the budget for food and other things for the household.  Alot of things still to this day I will make from scratch here for myown place only because that is what I am use to here.  There are ways to expand food for the household nomatter what happends in what is going on.  This is why I have a drawer full of pasta's and rice at this time for the household.  That does not include the garden that is going for the household at this time also.  With some folks they do not get food alergies also at this time.  Just like I can not have peppers of any kind here at all nomatter what and there is the nut alergy that has been going around for years also with alot of the kids in the country.  The one neighbor thought it would be funny to make the comment to me here about hitting me with the peppers that they are growing in their garden also 2 months back.  I told him straight out fine you will take care of the hospital bill and run me up there also if you do that part of things to me.  The guy could not believe it at all since I was not joking around about it.  You do not take a jab about someones life period on that part of things.  Then about 2 weeks ago the neighbors sent over 2 pieces of fish covered in a pepper coating knowing with the alergy that I have also.  My Husband told me to try a piece of it and I said no I already have a dang headache over it being brought into the house now.  That is why I do not bring peppers into the house here at all nor do I plant them or buy them at all here.  They will not make it to the list that I have here also at this time once all said and done.  So there are ways to cook on a tight budget here and still have enough money for other things in the household.
