Thinking

Well since I am trying to get tighter for the household here and got told off this morning for picking up the nickles off the side of the road it makes me wander.  Knowing some folks are just totally red lining things of course in their households at this time I guess I am doing ok in alot of ways.  With that being said here I do try to save the nickles up in that I get on my walks and go from there in alot of ways.  That is how I got the extra mixing bowl yesterday along with other things for the household.  I am far from 15-20 dollars a day here for in what I do pick up here on the walks and I can hold my own on alot of things here for the place also while I am at it.  I know several people that have said that they do not know in how I do some things and pull it off for the place at this time with coupons and being cheaper than snot most of the time.  I have had some help along the way on things for the place and do not get me wrong on that at all.  The first chairs for the can were just ugly and they worked with being covered with a sheet also at the time.  Plus all of the curb picking that myself and my Husband did when I first got up here also it all makes me laugh in what we did the first 5 years that I was up here in NY State.  That and the first 5 years to make ends meet here I picked up more nickles than I can count also while I was at it all.  Since poverty never bothered me in the first place and never will over the years and at this time forward I will do things to make ends meet nomatter what it is at this time.  So I look for good sales on alot of things for the household and tag them up with coupons also and watch in what I do for the rest of the time for the bills here also in the place.  It does not make me wrong in anyway in what I have to do to make it in the world.  As a saying goes it will not matter in 100 years anyway in what I have done and ya better get use to it now.  So I will keep the cheap ways that I have and go from there.  The manufactures want you to use way to much product anyway so people will buy more of the product.  Some will use way to much anyway and that is how it is.  I read years ago at the can cut down on things like laundry soap and the washer will tell ya in how it goes totally and it does.  All I did was cut down alittle at a time untill I hardly need any laundry soap at all to get the laundry clean.  Some things do get washed twice here in my place and they have to be down right nasty for me to do so around the place.  Also alittle squirt will do ya on dish soap it is the truth on that part of things also.  Also since I do walk alot of the times here, Monday mornings I walk a block and a half to the bank to save on gas in the truck here.  It does not matter in how cold or hot it is outside at all I will walk it.  Another thing that has helped out is the fire place from the can to the house here also.  As one of the other drivers has said here at this time why do I need oil for the furnace since there is a wood burner in the house at this time.  This year I hope to have the fire place going more times than not for the place and see what happends.  So yes there are still ways that I can cut the costs for the household without thinking about it at all now.  Some of the bills are fixed nomatter in what you do at this point in time.  I will figure out in how to cut on those also from now on while I am at it for the winter months here in the place.  That is part of the reason of why I am always thinking on things here still to this day in how to cut things down for cost wise.
