DH and I just built our first home and I am making every attempt at becoming more frugal, in order to eliminate debt and increase our savings. We blow an incredible amount of money on food every month, and I really want to bring that budget down tremendously. For the two of us, including dog...

So I am in the market for a Bible. I have specific things I want my Bible to have though... Compact Large Print Genuine Leather Snap Flap (or maybe zipper) Red Letter Dictionary/Concordance I know you guys probably don't have a spare Bible laying around that fits my list, but maybe you know...

My MIL and her sister are going to be here this afternoon for a fun-filled week. They are still 9 hours away but she has already pushed my buttons. This woman is a picky, picky, picky eater, as is her sister. She called me this morning to give me a list of foods they would not eat and told me to...

My 16yo son has been a very picky eater the past few months and cooking for him has driven me about nuts. We lost half our income last year so I've been on a frugal binge and doing alot more cooking and baking HM. Pizza has been the hardest for ds to give up but I finally convinced him to...

so after venting on here & talking w/a few ppl & a lot of introspection (and research), i've realized i'm beyond a picky eater... i'm a restrictive eater too! LoL i'm picky because i choose not to eat meat, the majority of processed foods, overly seasoned foods, high fat or greasy foods...

Is your kid picky when it comes to toothpaste? Which one do you use?

I figured that we needed a whole thread dedicated to the items that you find your picky eating children just can't resist. It seems to be a running theme in my household and lucky for me, the theme is constant. If a kid doesn't like something today, there's a 100% chance he won't like it...

Okay, I kind of already know for the most part as to what every one is going to say but still thought I'd post this anyways. I have a 6 1/2 year old cat who I've had since she's been 5 months old. I'm divorced and my kids are grown and on their own so she's my baby and I know that I spoil her...

I thought I'd start a thread for those of us who have been there (or are currently there), dealing with feeding a spouse and/or children whose pickiness can often undermine our frugal efforts. I knew I had to start this thread when I stumbled haphazardly upon a great truth today at lunch...

My 6th grade boy just turned picky on what he will and won't wear. He was trying on handme downs and at the thought on having to wear some of them this panic became quite visible. This is new to me. How does on buy ahead or frugally shop for a boy who has hit this stage in life? How does a...

Do you cook separately for your picky eaters? My ds is very picky. I find him asking, "what am I going to eat" when I make dinner. I usually tell him I will make him something. I realized I have created my own monster. Do you expect your picky eaters to eat what everyone else is eating...

no, not kids my dh has been working a new job, eating at a hospital cafe which means like 8-9$ a DAY YIKES I've packed him lunches but he's really not interested I try to not JUST stash leftovers in there, that way he "feels" like he's getting something special;-) he's not into "fussy" things...

My daughter needed a dress for an upcoming dance and she loves Maurices, so we stopped there. Usually everything is way to expensive and I have never bought anything there. But they were getting rid of thier winter stock and half the store was 75% off. She was on cloud nine as I was able to...

My 2 dogs, both of them 3 years old, one is a Shih Tzu-Sparky and the other one is a Golden Retriever-Kaci. Lately, they've been picky about eating their food unless I mix it with something "good" like canned dog food or a small amount of soup with a meat or cheese base. If I do feed them canned...

Okay, that's it. I'm going on strike. I try to feed my family a variety of good, healthy dinners. I try to coupon and bargain hunt and meal plan. I buy the food, prepare the food, serve the food... And, after all that, my darling children turn up their noses. Here's an example, from...

~I just made some waffles from pancake mix only I thought to jazz them up with a quarter cup of oatmeal and an egg. They loved them! My kids still don't like meat and veggies so I'm searching for some more sneaky protein and fiber recipe ideas. Especially any ways to get them to eat other...

This is really beginning to get on my nerves. I can't make a separate meal for each of my kids (and won't). I try not to make a big deal out of it if they don't want to eat dinner, but it's becoming more frequent that one or the other (the little ones) don't touch anything. I've made a rule...

Okay, so last payday, the bills almost outweighed the paycheck, so I bought the cheapest bag of cat food I could find at SAV A LOT. I feel so bad now! Kricket is crying for food, the bowl is full and she won't touch it. Harley was eating it until Kricket started having a fit, and now she won't...

I guess I am not, as long as as comes from the earth. I will eat almost anything except beets! UGH!!!!!!!:eek: I do'nt like the processed stuff out of boxes and most cans either. A few exceptions would be salsa, low sodium broth, beans, diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce and chiles. How about...
