Getting it done now

Well at this point in time I had my Niece here and have thrown her out also withing the past couple of weeks while I was at it.  With that being said most of the household fell apart on being cheap here with the 4 months that she was at the can.  Within the past 2 weeks here I did buy a house and alot of the stuff from the trailer is here at the house.  Also while I am at it all I went back to being totally cheap and I am trying to unravle in what my Niece did while she was under my roof.  I have cut way down on the laundery deturgent, dish soap, and many other things that some have figured since I was stocked up on alot of things here.  I ended up with 3 drying racks also for laundery for both places and it was pulling teeth all over again when I told that the dryer was off limits after all the racks were up.  Now I have the racks along with lines in the basement and alot more is being turned off around the new place yet again.  I have been cutting back big around both places here as of the past 2 weeks.  Since some did not understand what I was trying to do for the place and the girl did not have a job at all guess what I won in both places now.  With the gas prices up greatly here and trying to move on top of it I have noticed that I have gone thru less of alot of things in the house without my Niece here.  I can now sit back and not worry to much about some things that I have ran out of and get to the store becuase of needing to put dinner on the table.  I am back to shopping once a month for the place again and I like it like this.  With that being said I was going to the store at least twice a week and it was not pretty at all for the trailer.  Pluss I was going thru more cheese and eggs that I knew that I bought and was gone for what I planed for dinners for the month.  Now I do not have to worry about it at all with things disappering on me in the house.  Also I have been collecting the nickel deposits out of parking lots and several other places around here.  When I do that it keeps me busy and I get extra money for the household while I am at it here.  I still have not got any paper plates for the house here at all.  Of course the people that come over around here and whine about in how broke they are started in on not having paper plates to eat off of in my place yet again.  I figure why bother to waste the money on the paper plates and have for years now, when I have to wash dishes anyway for the place.  As I sit here and think of all that I can do for to save money around here I like it even more becuase I am seeing more things that I can do for the place here.  I have been planning on alot of things for the household here and alot of it has been for the good. 

With alot of things

Well I know I haven't been here for awhile at all.  I have been working on the other blog and alot around here in the can.  Since I have went cheaper around here and was working on more things here I got called White Trash by the Management of the park since I do not work out side of the home that often around here to say the least.  So that lit a fire under my toush to go that much cheaper around here in the past month or so here.  Since I do have my water bill cut way down around here maybe that is what she is mad about with me now let alone catching her in several lies along with the jack ass that was with her the day that she called me white trash.  Well I am not a quiet person when I have been lied to at all and know about it all.  Now around here I have moved some things around and can put the coupons and the sales and a few other things back around here in what I should have been doing in the first place here in the can.  Another thing is that I have switched around the laundery deturgant and a few other things also while I was at it all.  I have totally switched to the Green Works products here for the household and the birds seem to be doing better.  Yes I said birds.  I had Olliver as you all know and now I have Alice also here.  Pluss another person wanted me to take in another bird while I was at it and I said no right away around here along with another dog also as of lastnight here.  Between the fur balls and feather balls I am done so far.  Now both birds have been abused around here and I tore up someone also for trying to nail one of the birds to the wall also lastnight while I was at it all.  I do not put up with squat when the person has been told about the abuse that my boys have been thry already and they do not need any more crap from an outsider of the household at all and I let it be known.  I simplely put it do it again I will have your nuts in a sling beat you half to death and leave ya out in the middle of the street period to make a point.  So now I can say that I will run my household as I see fit and do not care what others think about what I do around here.  Since I have to get seed anyway may as well take on another bird here.  With the water bill that is another thing around here.  I have stopped flushing the cammode so much during the day around here.  Since there is only myself for days on end around here may as well save on the water.  Pluss I do not do as many dishes while I am alone also during the week here also.  So now with other things I have been leaving stuff off while I am at it around here also and the power bill went bizerk this month but I had asked around and so did everyone elses also while we were at it all.  So at this point also I have scraped the idea of saveing up for the woodburning cook stove for when I move so far.  I have been sticking all the cans into the house fund for the past 2 months at this point in time.  With what I am doing around here I have been keeping to myself even more around here and some folks do not have a total clue what I have been doing around here.  There has been more sales and coupons floating around here to say the least and I will be living broker than broke from now on around here.  It has got that bad around here in the park and I have finally put my foot down also while I am at it all.  After almost 20 years around the same place and it has got worse instead of better around here I do not need the total drama that the Trailer Park wants me to deal with.  Now we are working on my terms around here.  So if you are in NY State and want the number to the state and section 233 let me know around here and I will put the number out for it.  Along with the main office for Cavalier and Associates also.  So ok folks have fun and I will be back.

I have realized

Well I came to realize that I have been doing right all along around here. I have been reasured from alot of folks at this point. It is hard to believe that when I first started going cheaper in life I was at 16 years old. I have not stoped at all thru the years on alot of things. I got real cheap and tight when I first got up here to NY State also. Between the bargan rack that has moved several times thru the store and a few other things also. I can remember all the screaming and the arguements that have went on over the past almost 16 years also. And I have got alot cheaper since I have moved up here. Clarence racks, bargin racks, garage/yard sale hopping just to make ends meet around here with Child Support going out on top of it all. Yet I still manage to get blamed for supposadly being a "Rich Bitch" in some folks eyes and words. When myself and my Husband have been struggleing thru the years even though folks do not see it that way. I started with the home hair cuts years ago and even did my own thru the years while I was at it all also. I do not take pitty on myself nor my Husband at all. I do take Pitty on my ungreatfull Step Daughter who has for all the years has welcomed the B.S. from her mother and believed every word that she has said thru everything. I have never doubted my Husband all these years after what his Ex put me thru and Lied about with me. And to shove me out of a congragation for church is just plain nuts in my book but, somehow my Step Daughters mother found away to do it to me. I almost lost all faith in the church system totally when that happened to me almost 9 years ago. I do alot of things at home and on my own becuase of what has happened over the years thru no fault of my own. This is why I keep to myself alot of the times anyway so I do not get burnt at all. And with the statement from some folks of you will not catch me useing coupons PERIOD as long as they live. Well the coupons and a few other things have been money savers over the years to me. I always figured to save about 600 dollars a month between sales and coupons or eather one I have made the child support payment while my Husbands daughter was growing up and got the support. And I had the proof in my luggage that I carry for a purse of what was going out a month anyway and I still got called a liar eather way. Now since the support has ended I have no more obligations of to set money back for the ungreatfull child who never shown up for any reason at all nor questioned her mother on things also. Now I am letting things go and knowing what I went thru the girl is on her own after she told me to go F myself in so many words and I will find a place out of the hell hold trailer park that her father insisted that we live in after 16 years waiting on his Stupid daughter who believed all the lies and B.S. to get ahold of him. I have gone cheaper just so I can get out of here faster along with my Hubby. After all of these years I have kept my shut on alot of things and will keep my mouth shut on some things. I have alot of resentment towards some folks and I will not blame myself for it since I did give up my dreams once I got married. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Shakeing my head

Now some of us have a very tight budget around here I will admit to it. Most of the stuff I picked up yesterday was on sale anyway. And watching the news this morning hasen't helped out at all. NY State government is just totally out of controle still. Well there is alot more going on than passing along E-Mails to others from one. I wander how many of the folks in Albany really do run around on thier other half. Pluss all the shady deals that are going down also. Well after all said and done the NY State government does not have a clue as to what the regular working folks are doing around here to cut the costs in the households. Now this month my rent went up another 10 dollars to 355 a month. It does not incude anything at all except pot holes that will not get fixed at all around here. My Niece made the comment yesterday of how cute most of the trailers were in the park. I told her that at least 7 more are coming down and the FEMA trailers are coming in. The state of NY does not care nor the town of Niagara. As most folks say around here Money talks and Bull Shit walks. It is so true. For some of the polititions I would love to see thier face when most of us little folks start cooking on the tight budget that we all have. The Govener that is in now is wanting to put a tax on all Juices and all Sodas. Well I see alot more folks going down to PA for the cheaper stuff and bringing back the nickles. I will say I will start shopping down in PA once a month also if the drink tax goes in. And it is not like I do not have family to where I am headed to also. It will be well worth the trouble of going 4 hrs to do the grocery shopping let me tell you. And I can pack the van full once a month also. If I do a full shopping trip once a month it costs about 400 dollars if not more around here it depends on the seasons also. Now the 400 dollars pluss is without coupons and just partly sales. I have been known where I shop at in PA to pick up 2 cart fulls for about 50 dollars and that was for the month includeing soda and coffee. Most of the folks down where I shop at have 200 dollars for 1 cart. Now it may be abit more since I will be makeing meat runs also. And that is fine by me also. When I can get a bag of flour for about 50 cents I am going down. Pluss the stores down in PA take all of my coupons also. That is another nice thing about it all. Well I know some folks will be happy to see me eather way when I get down there. With NY State going like they are who needs more taxes around here. When I can use a tank of gas to get alot of things cheaper elsewhere. Also I have said it before I would love to see most of the politions live where I do and see how it is. And fallow me around for a month. Most would be shocked in what I can do on very little around here. Just so they can see how it goes being married to a Truck Driver. Then send them over to another place to see how broke they really are and make it. I will not throw huge parties niether around here like Albany does. Stake dinners what is that around here. Anyway at least I know I can do it cheaper than most of the folks in the politics game here in NY. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Ok I must admit

I did have some fun today. I may not now my grandbaby but, I will get to know my great great niece. Little Miss Vi is a little porker. And that is ok by me. Miss Vi is eating well let me tell ya and at least she is eating. I told my niece that guess what she is family eather way and she looks like my Hubbys side. Well I went out to Walmart today and picked up some things for Vi and I know one is gonna be big and tough she will grow into it. Also I was getting dinner going for when my Hubby walked thru the door also. It was funny becuase I started cooking and everyone wanted to stay to eat. Chicken for dinner and ALice started hollering. Never mind what he says at this point. We also found out he hates hats also. Well I am finding out part of what Alice has been thru already. So now just to find out the rest of it and deal with it all. Anyway at this point in time I have checked my card from Kmart and I am adding up points left and right. It will come in handy in December when I am ready for the points. I will be shopping at Kmart when they have the big sales going on. I do not mind what so ever at all about it. Kmart is with in walking distance also. All the complaining that I do about where I am and I won't complain about liveing to close to all the stores at all. I told my nefew that Walmart is right there within 3 min of walking from my place. And I would hand him a rolly cart to help out. Even my Annie suprized me today. This dog hates men when she first meets them and she went right up to both of my boys today. I know big man was hurting anyway and that's who she went to. The baby she sniffed her foot and went from there. So yes I will be spoiling at least 2 girls here shortly. Also I can spoil both of my girls for cheap. Bargan racks for children are a good thing since they grow so fast anyway. Another nice thing is if the items are gently used even better for a yard sale. I will admit I have picked up enough footy jammies for kids for 50 cents apiece if that. My Niece is the same way cheap. All I can do is laugh. Well there are folks out of jobs every place. SO everyone is doing what they can to make it now adays. I was asked in how I did it without leaveing home that much. I told her ya never ever go by the tags on things that I get becuase I always find ways to get discounts and a few other things along the way around here. Also both of us know in what it is to streach out money in our places. For very little I can get alot around here. Well with births and remembering prices for food way back when it is scarry now today. Cooking on the cheap is a good thing around here. So my niece will get a few of my recipies before she goes back to Florda. Not only that I have been on the cheap side to get some of the appliances in the can. I told my Niece that I had alot of appliances for the place. Well I have saved and went from there for everything in the can. There are some things I can not give up becuase, I can make breakfast lunch and dinner out of my KitchenAids and my T-Fal also. I think that all were suprized that I was in sweats today while I was at it. I wanted to be comfy with a baby in the place. I was in my normal mode when I was cooking and family in the kitchen with me. Also some noticed that I do cook for my Hubby and he would not starve in the can/household as long as I am around here. It is one of them things that I can make something out of nothing. Well I had help from some folks like Susanne from the www.hilbillyhousewife.com. The sweet woman has helped me along in my place after I had a block on cooking for a bit. Ideas are always welcome in my place at all times and I will always get a recipie and make it myown. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Sitting here thinking

Well I am always thinking on my feet around here. Of how I can do things better or cheaper eather way. Well since yesterday I did hit the sales up at Kmart I saved over 25 dollars. That does not include what is on my card also for the place. Well I understand why the cashiers ask if I want to use what is on the card also. I told the gal I wanted to save it up becuase of I am always broke at points of the year. She diden't blame me after I told her also. Pluss I ended up with alot of the Green Works products to clean the can with. The product does not adjatate the birds what so ever when I use it. So I have stuck with it. In the long run it is cheaper to use the Green Works products anyway. When it takes me at least a month to go thru a bottle of dish deturgant that is 3 dollars normally unless I catch it on sale compaired to the runny brand that is not thick enough to even bother to foam up. Pluss with what I am useing now the dishes seem to come out cleaner than with the other stuff that I was useing. With children in and out of the can alot of cleaners will bother them. This way they can tell thier parents this is what so and so uses also and tell them how it works. I know one little on that was madder than a wet cat on a tin roof on Saturday. She missed the cookie bake off around here over the Easter weekend. I even had her Granddaddy laughing. Anyway I have been thinking and working on how to get my place cheaper anyway and it is an on going battle around here. I like it when it is quiet around here and there's no computer or T.V. going also. Once a person gets use to it it is not so bad. I get more work done around the can without them on. Pluss you get creative on how things are done and what you do without them going. Now around here in what I do is I wright down stuff to remind me of how I did things thru the day. It makes life easier on me. And of course there is no right or wrong way of doing things anyway. Everyone has thier own of doing housework and that is how life is. I learned over 33 years ago it takes all kinds of folks to make the world go around and everyone is differant. Just like there is no right or wrong way of being cheap/frugal also. Everyones needs are differant anyway and some of us do things in what is better for that sittuation. Like with me I hit the sales stock up and use coupons, turn off things while I am home, and make phone calls to get better deals for the utilities. There are lots of ways to go frugal and cheap and sometimes they both go hand in hand. My Hubby always teases me about makeing the dollars scream more than a dozen times before I let it go. I have had others tell me I squeek when I walk also. I laugh about it and say it took me almost 20 years to get like this. I also did all of it slowly also. With some things I ask myself ok do I really need something and is there a way that I can save up for it in the long run. Also another thing that I have is I do not go shopping for items that I do not need also. Outfits are so over rated anyway. I live in sweats most of the time along with T-shirts. Yes I do have about 3 pairs of jeans that I can go out on occations where I want to get kind of dressy. I have been known to show up to the stores in fuzzy slippers and rollars in my hair also. I have nobody to impress and if folks do not like it they do not have to look at me niether. I have been like this since I was in grade school. As I have got older I have also realized that I will cook over going out to dine someplace. It is cheaper to stay home and cook also in my book. Pluss when some folks come over they realize that yes I do cook the scratch meals for the household. And some are like can I try that out and have the recipie after they try it. With me I have a ton of recipies in the household and add things to it and try to spice it up. I also have to leave some things out of course. Oh well lets see what kind of damage I can do to the place today. Have fun and play hard.

What a day

Well I finally got out to Kmart today. I had to take a break out of the can and everything. I dang near knocked out Alice today and that is when I knew I had to get out. He has been my problem child for 24 hrs now. Well I guess it could be worse around here of course and I do not have a clue as to how much I have on my card at all for what I got today. I had some folks laughing in line today also. The poor cashier asked if I wanted to use the points on my card and I sad nope it can sit and wait for awhile. And the woman behind me asked what I was saveing the points for. I said to restock my place includeing underpants. So the woman asked to get a card herself so she could do the same thing. Free is good in my book anyway and I know it is on the card and ready when I want to use it. So at this point I have most of the Green Works products for the place. Since the laundery deturgant is on sale for half the price I will pick it up. Pluss with doing so much laundery this week I have beed going thru the deturgant even though I do skimp out on it. Anyway at least the place is mainly clean today. I worked from about 8am untill about 1pm on it. Pluss the fight that Alice and I had to boot. Also I am stocked up on cleaners and a few other things also around here. I saved over 26 dollars today. Now to sit here and wait to see if everyone got in ok today.

Another long day today

Well I have another long day ahead of me. I got at least all of the laundery done yesterday now to get to the rest of the can. Pluss I have to call my Mom and tell her that her shipment will be there this week also. I sent goodies to her once again. Well after all said and done I can say that I am happy I said no I can not do it this week to check in on folks. I will eather way at least one day while some are out of town. Well what gets to me is that some wanted me to say screw it for the family that is coming and and just do for them once again. That is why I said no I am not doing it I have family coming in. Sorry meeting my great nefews and great great nice takes top priority now for this week besides cleaning my own can around here. I do not mind cleaning at all around here. Mondays are the worst days of the week anyway. What gets to me about the person who asked me hardly lifts a finger since she works. Well I do not complain about it since I cook, clean, shop for 2 kitchens, and the book keeper around here. And I am a referee also while I am at it all. The boys were really good since I had both of them out of thier cages at the same time yesterday morning. At least I can say that it is never dull around my place at all. Even one of the neighbors that I like real well came over yesterday. Now I know where the babies get thier Blue eyes from. Thier Grandfather has the kindest Blue eyes that I have ever seen up here in NY. The man also realized that I had some of the laundery outside hanging on the lines and liked it. It is easier on me to hang some stuff than to put it in the dryer for 2 hrs untill it is dry also. So eather way it was a fairly good day yesterday I did get alot of my list knocked out also. I just diden't get to all that I wanted to at all. Now for today there is the rest of the list that I have except for a few things that have to wait for Friday in order for me to do around here. I would like to have sausage balls for to eat on Saturday also. Part of the fun is to see what the reaction is gonna be when I slap food on the table around here. Not only that it is the cooking on the cheap 101 this week around here of course. And yes I will be makeing muffins once again around here this week. That also reminds me I need to make at least 2 pies for Saturday. It is not like I don't have the stuff around here to do everything also. It is the matter of pulling everything out and start bakeing around here. Since it is only Tuesday this is a good sign at least around here. Also there are some dietary needs that will pop up of course and met eather way. Anyway now off to the races for today to start cleaning once again. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Knowing why

Now I deffanately know why I went to the cheap side so many years ago. I will go by who raised me never depend on a man to earn enough money for ya. They may leave before the kids are grown also. Since I can still work and go from there I am not worried about myself at all. I have been thru it and worse than some have. Well I figure with what I have at the moment in the place I can always start bakeing and sell it also. Pluss there is alot that I would cut back on eather way around here. That was IF my now husband desided to up and go. Not only that some folks would be stuned if they only knew what I can do to survive around here and then some. IT is partly knowing of what to do in an emergancy situation and the other part is deturmanation also. Well if some would know me peronally I do come up swinging and when I do run and stay out of the way. There are so many things that I would love to do around here in the can that with someone else here I just can't do what I would like to do at all. I would not have the T.V. at all in the place. All I need is the internet and a cell phone that is it. I would be happy with that much at least. Well it would be less to worry about around here. There is always something to do eather way around the place to say so myself. Pluss I can get the news over the internet with live brodcasts over the station that I want since Buffalo got up to speed around here finally. I woulden't mind a slower life let me tell ya. Where there is no power and wood burning stoves to heat the place and cook on also. Now with the no Power part I would have like to have enough solar pannels to work the computer and to charge the cell phone also and the washer to get the laundery done, and maybe the fridge along with the freezer. Other than that my place can survive without lights I would rather sit in the dark anyway and only turn on the one light for the birds. Other than that I can deal without power. Even the lights can go out for the birds also at night. They would get use to it also. I just haven't gone to drastic measures as of yet on alot of things. Ok folks have fun and play hard.

Well I got further than expected

I got further than I realized yesterday. Then under stress and a few other problems this morning it was not pretty at all. Well at least I can start the cleaning here shortly so what happened this morning(doesen't like alergy season at all) will be totally cleaned up by noon at the latest. Since the main counter has been cleared off of dirty dishes and cans for the nickles I felt a bit better from last night. My Hubby looked at me yesterday and said well there is room in the shed for the extra bags of cans to get them out of the way. I laughed and said that I am cashing them in this week. Well I need out of the house for a bit anyway and not includeing the some shopping that I want to do with my Niece and for my Great Great Nice also. And I have already started off the bargan racks for her. Well after haveing so many babies in the place I still have bottles around here. Pluss a trip over to Kmart after I get the cans in this week may do me some good anyway since the good laundery deturgant is on sale there. It seems that I have had more laundery as of late and have been going thru the laundery deturgant also. Well with the Kmart card it will not be so hard to start saveing on some things. Some folks do not get in what I do to save money up around here at all. I have been streaching out money very hard lately also. When I can save on every card that I have then I will do it also pluss use coupons out at the stores. Now from this past Saturday it was a real treat for us to go sit out and have dinner that I diden't cook. Pluss I was shocked when I opened some of the bills within the past 2 days also. My power bill went down by alot and the one bill came up as all zeros also. So there are going to be alot more changes around here in the can. I will keep adding things untill I start hearing a mouth going again. Since I do not drive much anyway unless I really have to this should be fun. Ok folks have fun and play harder.
