So my 1st (aka-most hated) credit card is halfway paid off! :cheer4: And with the plan I am working will be PIF by April! It's really great to be in this situation where even though I spent more than anticipated last week (2 birthdays plus a jaunt to NOLA for Mardi Gras) I still have enough to...

I bought a bunch of the Valentine m+m's, and the cherry cordial hershey kisses, for Easter, at 1/2 off original price because they were 'Valentine's candies'. My 5+ 2 yo's could care less what colors their candies are! Also got 2 of the 'giant' hershey kisses for stocking stuffers- I assume...

I bought 12 of them to store sugar,flour,salt,oats and other dry goods..do you think that these glass containers are better than the plastic containers w/lids that I bought from some beprepared site are just as good? I figured that the glass jars would all fit on the top shelfs in my...

:cowwave:Good Morning!:cowwave: It's a snowy day, and I can't decide if I am up late or early. Couldn't really sleep. I have a somewhat busy day today. Today I have to ~ make Diva and I some breakfast ~ drink my water ~ go to the bank to cash a check ~ go to Walgreens to return Old Man's GPS...

i don't know if this is in the right challenge 'catagory' but since it covers every aspect of your life i thought it good to be here... how about a challenge to ourselves to use just 1/2 of what we would normally use each day.... be it food/toothpaste/laundry det/gas for the car/tv watching...

Can you guys tell me some ways to repurpose 1/2 gallon milk cartons? The paper ones with the spout. I am seeking to minimize my garbage and reuse everything that I possibly can. I realize that this is one item I throw away regulary. Any ideas?

Rissolesw and veg. Making a big batch so I can puree some for Ethan.

I spent 1/2 hour purging my closet of excess short sleeve t-shirts (I have a serious fetish with t-shirts...) and went through the side closet shelf of short sleeve t-shirts, and the extra stack of them that began on the top box under the closet shelf. The shelf in the side closet is still as...

I am not sure were to post this, but my neighbor just told me about this when I got home. I am sure some have heard of it, but I could not find anything in the forum. It's called angelfoodministry.com there are locations nationwide, from what she was telling me and from looking at the site...

I was cherry picking the ad today at Price Chopper. 78c Hunts 24 oz ketchup ( I had 5 25c coupons), Oscar Mayer hotdogs 98c (I had 4 50c coupons), KC Masterpiece 88c ( I had 2 25c coupons), and there in the fruit/produce were bags of "ripe" bananas for 75c a bag. I weighed the bag, it was 2 1/2...

My very frugal aunt and uncle taught me this trick. Empty (paper) 1/2 gallon containers work really well for freezing. Open it fully at the top, wash it out, refill, and fold the top in flat to seal. Works especially well for soups, stews, tomato sauce, etc. Any other ideas?

~Everything went well with the C-section and my Sis-in-law Tiffany and the baby are doing fine! He was delivered yesterday morning and was 21 inches long and 9.5 lbs. We wondered if they could have gotten her due date wrong. Her daughter was just 7.5 lbs. Strange. I won't see pics of the baby...

i dunno what it is, but it's my guilty pleasure.

Having a vacation day today and taking my kids to the ocean to play on the beach. Meditating in the sand while the sun sparkled off the ocean waves and having a chance to be silent and peaceful. The wind was cold and quick but that allowed the kids, the dog, and I to have the whole beach to...

We're having sausage with peppers & onions and a nice big garden salad.

-sigh -- My dh - gotta love him. Is SUCH a talent. He can build me anything but he is sooo bad at finishing a project. Right now we have 1 counter top tiled (not grouted), the other isn't touched! 1 unpainted french door he HAD to have in the kitchen 1 awesome walk in closet he built.....3...

If you haven't checked out www.restaurant.com. It's worth a look. I paid $10 for a $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant. They give you a 15% discount on your first purchase with them. I think they also might offer referral discounts. I just bought three, and I'm looking forward to...

Of hair! I follow the Native American tradition of cutting my hair only when I'm grieving. So 10 1/2 inches of hair came off this afternoon, and the pony tail is ready to send to Locks of Love. This is the shortest my hair has been in ages. I cut off 16 inches last year, so this time my hair...
