What did you do to save $ today?

Made 1.5 pounds of paneer cheese with DGDalmost14. She was fascinated! We seasoned it with pizza spice and sun dried tomatoes. She wanted to stay for the 48 hours until it is drained, just to be sure she got some !

That's cute. Isn't it fun to teach the kids stuff like this, especially when they actually get into it?

Wow I'm in awe of how much you all do to save money and live better. Where do you get recepies for laundry soap and all that? I would really like to get away from so much store bought stuff. Any Ideas on where I could get a grain mill that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Hi Jynxthecat21!

Do a quick search on laundry detergent or anything else you want to know. The search button is up there in the blue margin.

Loads of info here on this site!

I dispatched 2 of my cockerels to freezer camp today.

We had leftover chicken for dinner.

For desert we are having blackberries we froze last summer with strawberries I picked in the garden and home made yogurt.

Ooh Ooh! Pick me! Well, not really me, DH did it...

He traded auto mechanic work for Turkeys! ginormous Turkeys - now I see myself doing some serious work in the near future...but I thought this was a clever money saving thing!

He is going to fix an ac controller thingy and her door handle and get 3 big ole turkeys - 4H turkeys for to eat! Pretty cool I thought...except all the work involved, that's a little tiring just to think about!

Today I'm PLANNING to get some canning jars at a yard sale. They advertise, I come, haha. I also plan on hitting up about 6 other yard sales, looking for SS items, as well as a b-day gift for a niece and nephew.

I'm going to pick up 12 old hens, and turn them into dog food--for free!!

Our air conditioner went out so rather than buy a new system, we found someone who can repair the old one. The new part won't be in for a week so in the meantime, we're doing the opposite of warm bricks in the winter... we're sleeping with ice packs wrapped in towels

I scored big at 2 thrift sales today! I bought most of the clothes my son needs through size 6 (he is size 2 - 3 now) for... $25!!!

Good stuff - Old Navy, Calvin Klein, Children's Place, etc.

I am cheap and stingy, but my kid looks good.

great deal tortoise! I always took advantage of stuff like that, until she got fussier about what she would wear
