Hi from Portland Oregon

[Marianne]

Welcome from Kansas! I'll have to go check out the links that Beekissed posted and see if they are what I was thinking about.

In the meantime, I save a lot of money at the grocery store by making my own convenience foods and mixes.

Hang in there gal, you can do this!

How's those links for getting you started?

With a family your size, if you aren't already making your own laundry detergent, it's a nice place to start. Been doing this for me and my three boys for the past 6 years now and I can't explain just how much money that has saved me....we go through a lot of laundry here. Now that the boys have left home, they still come home to do their laundry, so it continues.....

They were good. I have a ton of laundry soap but will be making it when I get low. I think I have a lot of good ideas and tools now. Thank you for sending me here

There is lots of stuff on this site, but some of it is hard to find. Just ask if you have a particular question - we're a helpful bunch most of the time

There is some snow on the hills around, but we are lower in the valley. Some years we don't get any at all at our house. Right now it is pouring down rain.

nice 2 meet you...
Yes that is a huge cut..
but also an oportunity...
you will be able to teach your kids a more wholesome side to life that they would never have known...
My advice is

!...don't buy what you need....put it on a thoughtful need list...it is amazing how when you connect with the universe around you it responds...and all of a sudden you find yourself finding what you wanted...
don't be afraid to utilize resorces...ok sounds bad...but we got lots...just driving around early morning garbage day...
bargin bins..and marked downs...don't be woried of the dates 90 percent of the time is absolutely fine...
eg...ok sounds..bad...but store yogurt upside down...is good at least 3 months after due date...
