OK, I am still fairly new to this site and am still learning how this thing works, so bare with me. (Oh, and I am the worlds worst speller )

I am just so thankful for a site like this. It is great to meet people of like minds. My family chooses and needs to be more frugal then most. I think being frugal has actually became a hobby for me. I just get such a kick out of getting the most bang for my buck, or actually finding new ways to save.

I hope I can learn more and share with you wonderful people!

Posted 10-16-2009 at 07:32 PM by jaime
My DH was recently diagnosed with diverticulitus. The past three days he was on a strict liquid diet for his colonoscopy (spelling?) today. As a matter of fact when I purchased the 20 boxes of jello (he's a big guy and that's all he ate for 3 days) the woman behind me said "Boy, you must really love jello."

Last night I was re-reading my Tightwad Gazette book...I read all 3 at least once a year. Anyway, I was reading an article in it on coupons when two things hit me (I'm sure...

Back out of Whack

Posted 05-11-2009 at 02:49 PM by jaime
I realize that as I get older some things are certain like my hair turning grey (white actually, and not as long as I have the worlds best hairdresser), wrinkles, teeth falling out, weight shifting in spots I dont think it should be, and of course, the girls (breasts) growing longer, not bigger, but my recent back ache has got me down. After all, I'm...

Happy Earth Day ALL

Posted 04-22-2009 at 10:44 AM by jaime
Today, as my eco minded dd reminded me is Earth Day. I think she is expecting it to turn into a gift giving holiday, so I plan to surprise her when she comes home. Not with gifts mind you...but with something to do with bettering our planet.

I would have her outside in the garden preparing the soil, but it is suppose to s**w today (I...
