Earlier this week I took all the bits and pieces of soap that I had been saving all year and cut them up a little and put them in a pot on the wood stove. I added a little water to help them melt. I stirred them up a few times, then poured the liquidy soap into a container and let it sit. I got 15 nice bars of soap out of it.

Yum on the milk!!! Do you barter with them for it?
Yesterday we went to our bank and maxed out our credit line that has really low interest to pay off our remaining credit card from the gallery! We're getting this thing licked! It's a slow but steady process and we just keep taking baby steps.

I found 2 cast iron skillets on craigslist. I have them bought, seasoned , and stored already. One 10 1/4 inch Lodge grill pan and another 8 in Lodge fry pan. 20 bucks for both. I couldn't pass them up. whoo hoo!!

I waited to buy my winter coat until the January clearance. Got a $200.00 cashmere and wool pea coat for $60. Woo hoo! Add a NICE winter coat onto my guilty pleasures list. 
The Grocery Outlet today had boxes of Wheat Thins Vermont Cheddar crackers for 48 cents! I got two. They also had Oscar Meyer Deli Slices shaved turkey and chicken for $1 for a 9 ounce container. Got four. With my austerity challenge, I only get $12.50 a week for food, gas, household supplies, medicine, etc., so this was a great find !

geez Ldychef2k, I really wish you lived closer to us. We have so much surplus, it makes us sick. We need help farming, but we are always happy to give (or sell at low price) our extra.
We give away a lot of what we grow. We just hate to see anyone go hungry. And if we know that someone tries to make things work for themselves, but is struggling, we are always glad to share what we have. Even if we don't have enough to pay our bills.
