    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    @sumi Thanks. I would so die in 90s-130s. Man, I almost die when it reaches upper 70s. The main thing I am trying to get away from is the humidity cause that kills me even worse than the heat does. It sounds absolutely perfect there. I even more need to go all touristy there sometime! :)

    A Minnesota classic, tater tot hotdish

    It's a staple in the land of 10 thousand lakes and what a lot of us consider the standard welcome. It is my number one favorite comfort food. The bonus is you can change it up and switch things out. The recipe even doubles or even triples so it makes it nice for feeding large crowds. Here's my...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    @sumi I tend to love rainy weather so that sounds lovely. As much as I love Minnesota I have a hard time with the cold due to having fibro. I also have a hard time with humid heat so I am hoping to find the so called "perfect" weather. So far we are looking into either Colorado or New Mexico but...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    @Denim Deb 59 cents a pound?? That is fantastic. Sadly my hubby is pretty picky about bone in meat so if I do get it I tend to get thighs or breasts and even then I gotta de-bone. I like to get it though cause then I can make broth which is fantastic in the winter. Alas... @chicken girl There's...

    Ladies only!!!!!

    I read about this awhile back and still need to do it. I can't use a moon cup for the same reason I can't use tampons, with my disability I have a hard time bending like that. I love the idea of re-usable, especially with the cost of pads a lot of the time. I also tend to get irritations with...

    cat litter

    @ashlylove1 as far as cost how much is wood stove pellets? I get pretty cheap litter now but for future might like to switch over to that, especially if we get our land so we can save on garbage.

    Sugar free options?

    I too was gonna recommend growing stevia. Not only is a sweatner you can grow yourself but it's also way sweater than sugar meaning you need less and it's perfect for diabetics or even those on low carb diets. :ep I actually plan on growing some myself as I like the idea of growing as much as I...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    @sumi Ahh. How do you like it there? I've never been out of the US which bums me out. I've heard it's beautiful there. We get Aldi ads but no money saving coupons or anything, which sucks. The ads really don't do anything as I can just view the sales on-line so I don't need a paper one. I...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    @Britesea I posted early..oops!:oops: Family cloth is my back up plan for emergencies. I went the lazy route and, instead of making them I bought baby wash clothes for a reasonable price at Walmart. The only reason it's my back up plan vs my current plan is I know the others in my house wouldn't...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    @sumi are you in the UK? I admit I am not up on other countries money symbols :oops:. We don't get those coupons in America (at least in MN) sadly cause that would be awesome. I spend at least a hundred bucks a month there so saving 10 bucks plus would rock! I heard the same tip when I was...

    What do you do to cut expenses down?

    I save by shopping sales and with coupons. I tend to go to ALdi whenever I can. I always try to get things free via CL or freecycle. If I can't then I check thrift stores for the cheapest deals I can find. There is very few things I buy new. I am disabled so I can't make some things that I would...
