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!

Dinner and a Musical 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.

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... Continue reading... jaime Budget101 Done Digging

Ever do this? Posted 04-27-2009 at 10:24 AM by jaime Ok, this is one for the record books on screw-ups.

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... Continue reading... jaime Budget101 Done Digging
