Hi my name is MOM oh wait my birth-name is Alexis. These days it's MOM and yes that's right it comes out at a level higher then a scream! I have 2 very active boys. Hope you enjoy the wacky world I call life between working full time and taking care of the 3 boys (that includes my husband).
Love the notes! All very cute. Don't get any ideas and start "conserving water" with the hubby. Those double showers can cost you another mouth to feed. ;-)
Love those! Here's another: If it's not being used - Unplug it! microwave, vcr, dvd, hell even the tv, toaster you name it if you are not actively using it, unplug it it can save something like 7 bucks a month! thats 84 bucks a year.
Awesome! We dont mind store brand either. You should DEF shop sales with coupons if you dont. Saves me tons of money. AND, did you know running the dishwasher actually uses less water than hand washing? I didn't know that, but they did a story on our local news about saving water and that was one of the things they said to do! YAY! I hate hand washing dishes! =)
I love how you are making the best of such a stressful situation by giving us all these wonderful tips. Also by trying to see the humor in it. You are by far the sweetest and most loving, giving woman I know, so I'm with Tracie, I'm so happy that something was given back to you. Now don't go volunteering to do stuff for other people and give it all away! Big hugs to you all and know that you are always in my thoughts and prayers.
wow what a cute little blog you have here. I buy store brand for a lot of the basics. There are some things that I can't scrimp on toilet paper and toothpaste. Tonight I have made a massive meal which will do 2 lunches as well. Maybe more depending on how hungry my partner is. It is amazing how many uses bicarb soda and vinegar have.
Sounds like you have it under control. Love the bath time tip! I like to buy cheap cuts of meat, then cook big meals where I can freeze some for later.
lol, Love the enforcements. That was a nice thing for your pastor to do. As for putting off bills, I'm going to be in that boat soon. Had something unexpected come up that we had to pay for and now I'm going to have to find somehow, someway to pay the electric bill. Oh well, still can't complain. Life is good.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you on most of these! I can't have the boys bathe together though. That's going to cost an er co-pay!
ReplyDeleteHow nice that someone is giving to you. You do so much for others.
Oh I think you are on a roll! When I grocery shop I always look on the bottom shelves. The stuff at eye height is the premium expensive stuff!

ReplyDeleteTell me, HOW do you enforce the 8-square TP rule? :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all good ways to save. And thank God for your church family for helping out!
What a wonderful gift from the church. Sounds like your doing and excellent job. I know that it's not an easy one. Keeping you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThe store brand stuff is made by the big brands so there really IS no difference.

ReplyDeleteI don't skimp on toilet paper. Sorry. But I sometimes wash ziploc baggies that did not have meat in them. That is helpful.
