I must admit I am the worst

Well I went to the bank today nice that the branch is open on sundays.  Got at least one pay check in the bank today.  Then off to the other side of the grocery store to get the paper.  Coupons and sale ads are a great thing.  Normally I pick 2 papers up today was just one.  Well some is buy one get one free with the coupons.  Gotta keep the dog and cat happy around here.  Olliver is being himself a pretty bird.  Now to wing everyone off of the Paula Dean show.  Football season has hit my house.  Pretty much I stay home for the football now on sundays.  Oh well at least it's never boring around my place to say the least now.  Now to start in on the fried chicken that I was suppose to cook lastnight.  Regular pasta gets old after a bit.  What the heck so does rice.  At least it is food during the week with me here by myself of course.  And the more I am home alone during the past weeks I started to cook even cheaper.  Why shoulden't I anyway.  Pluss there is fresh baked bread here in the can also.  I baked on Friday at least.  Not as much as I wanted to but it was a start.  Next is to start makeing biscuts from scratch again.  It works great if people have food alergies.  And I noticed that I feel better when I cook from scratch also.  Well yes it takes longer in the prep time of course also well worth the time and effort to cook better for the family.  My grocery bill has went down literally becuase of it now.  I can spend 100 dollars at the store and get the same results as the boxed foods that are there.  Some months are more of course I won't deny that.  I keep a good invatory of the stuff that I do have.  Some months I spend maybe 50 dollars when I start running out of everything then it is more of course.  I have a list for things to do here in the can and a grocery list also.  When I notice that I am low I wright it down.  Now normally I go shopping once a month except if I run low on regular milk I will pick up a half a gallon when I go out to do other things for the household.  Now alot of times when I don't feel like going out and I dont have regular milk in the place I will use the powdered milk for bakeing.  It seems like the baked goods last longer with the powdered milk.  Also there are some recipies that call for powdered milk that I use also.  I do not mind niether does the household.  Some people that come over are amazed that I used the powdered milk for something.  And a BIG THANK YOU  to Sussane at the http://www.hilbillyhousewife.com/ for alot of recipies.  Sussane's are a good base for my house and I do doctor them up of course.  Any good cook should do that.  You may want extra of something in it go for it.  Onions and Garlic are a big thing in my place.  If I run out of onions I better run for the hills and take cover.  I can laugh about it only becuase it is a thing in my household.  Those 2 things are a big staple in my can.  Along with the flour.  I feel naked without at least 2 bags of flour in the place.  Granted I go to Aldi or Save A Lot for the flour.  They have the best deals going on it.  And sugar is going on sale as of now for the holidays.  So I will start stocking up on that also while I am at it.  The big laugh is with some of us if I run out of flour and sugar I go thru a major fit.  I can go thru alot during the holidays becuase of pies and cookies pluss bread.  It looks like the flour bomb went off on me.  I go thru alot of honey also.  I pick up the 5- 10 pound jars of the good stuff.  I use it for tea, bread, and pies.  Even for coffee if im suffering from a cold.  And the honey jars make good piggy banks for other things.  I keep my stove fund in a honey jar.  Just like when you empty out a Jack Danniles bottle use it for dimes.  It means something if you are saveing for it.  And you can brag that I saved up for something out of this and this.  When I was waitressing I loved the change that people would leave me.  It ment a payment on something or a trip over to Target for something nice.  The change ads up along with other things that you do.  Now this year I am going way cheap of course for the holidays.  I was asked what I wanted and said a samwich maker.  Now being here alone I eat alot of soups and leftovers.  A hot cheese sandwich is alot to me.  So does the George Forman Grill that I have.  I have the small one and a family sized one.  You would be amazed in what you can do with the both of them.  So go cheap one night for dinner it won't hurt anyone I promise on it.  Ok folks have fun and play even harder.
