Shaking my head

Well today it looks like the Ajax will be coming out for the dish soap around here for some of the dishes here for the day.  It is nice to know that parts of the household here are getting cheaper than snot again here again.  At this point in time some people would not be happy with what is in the place at this time here as normal if they were here.  With some things it will never fail to amaze me in what some people will waste money on in their place.  Since I am not a big fan of getting the most costly things for the household here unless it is a major appliance here for the place.  Otherwise I scrimp and pay as little as I can for the place for alot of what comes in.  With that being said here it takes some time at first when you start looking for ways to cut the costs for the household.  It seemed like it took forever when I started alot of things here to get the costs down.  It was about the time that I started with the coupons also for the kitchen and other spots in the household.  Also here some folks thought that I would start cranking out really wierd meals also at the trailer.  That did not happen at all and I have kept it all normal for that part of things while we were at the trailer and the house here.  It is all in how you do things for meals and other places in the household.  With that being said here since I kept it all normal nomatter what happened, then it clicked totally to start cooking alot of things from scratch.  That is when the bug gets ya to try to match something cooking from scratch.  Alot of the times you can get close to something from a bag or box on things for meals and sometimes it comes out better than the bag or box.  I still keep some boxed things here for the household nomatter what for quick meals and that is a givin in any household.  There are many ways to get the costs down in the household nomatter what is going on in the world.  When alot of folks are dealing with a job loss totally now days nothing is right or wrong in how to cut back for where you are at.  I started alot of things since we went down to one income and the paycheck was not so good at all at the time.  It worked out with some help off of food stamps or as it is called now snap.  So yes I have learned totally here in what and how to do things off of that part.  It was a crash course in how to do things on a really tight budget.  Now at this point here I have been going to www.hillbillyhousewife.com for about almost 8 years now if not abit longer here for that part and wish I ran across Susanne before the time that I did.  So now here I still cook from scratch and on the cheap end here to this day.  It becomes a force of habbit after awhile since everyone needs to eat.  Also with the job losses all over you find out quickly that alot of things can be cut back even more.  Like turning off things totally and shoving the kids outside along with daytime T.V. is really not that good anyway after it all clicks.  I have said before it takes about 2 years for the power bill to come down totally and it takes work.  Please do not get me wrong on that part of things here.  I still work on the power bill to this day here and it has been 2 years later and that is how it goes when some people figure that it was ok to use the dryer on me period also.  So pull a family meeting totally and say hey this is the deal and there is nothing to worry about here unless the bills are just totally out there.  The children will learn nomatter what is going on.  Alot of the times you have to show the children this is what is coming in and this is what goes out around a place and let them watch you pay bills also so it clicks into their brains.  You do not have to show real pay stubs totally just the total of what is coming in then turn everything into a huge math problem that is how children learn in the house and ask in how they can help by keeping the bills low.  As a parent explain it to how they can handle things and ask in their opinion also in how they can help totally and the chidren will feel better about helping you as a parent out also.  It will be little things at first and you can add on to what they say also and have them try it out for the household.  The children will not feel as they are being deprived on squat after everythings said and done at all when they know that they have helped out their parents.  I was told NO alot growing up and so were other people out there and it did not kill us.  Go figure on that part of things here. 

I came to relize

Now I have waited almost 18 years to get my Kitchenaid Stand mixer and got it a year ago on Black Friday of course.  If I had my one supposad nice here I would't have got it at all.  Well I was penching pennies and being cheap so I could get the Kitchenaid Classic Pluss.  I am still pinching pennies today.  I had an old bottle of laundery deturgant before I got the new stuff from Aldi.  Now the old laundery deturgant will last me at least 3 months without blinking.  This is why I switched back to the purex and a few others that I can use for the laundery.  With what I have done so far I have totally cut back and down on alot of things here in the can so I can say that I have money pulled back for a down payment or a place on the tax auction block eather way.  Depending on where I go and what county also.  Now for Tuesday it will be nuts of course and as long as I get out of the park then I am good.  Now according to some folks out there I am Trailer Trash.  Well all I have to say is look all over and define the Trailer Trash out there.  I don't have a car or truck up on cender blocks and I don't have a couch on blocks niether out in the front yard.  I never denyed on liveing in a Trailer or Mobial Home Park.  Just like I won't deny that I am trying to be cheap also.  Now I will admit to haveing the Lot rent as much as a Morgage payment at 345 and going up in April of 2010.  I will say this also is that I wish I would have got out of here years ago.  WIth the money situation at the time I coulden't at the time.  So I did stay here for longer than what I wanted to.  Now some of the folks who have knowcked me over the years can Bite Me at this point.  I have a roof over my head and more food in my place than they all have without the government at this time.  Now I am not knocking the Older Folks at all. I am knocking the ones who refuse to get off thier toushes and start working.  The ones on Oh I'm to big and I need the SS Disablity or I drink to much and need the SS Disibility.  And don't deny it becuase we all know someone on dissabillity that just doesen't deserve it at all.  I know one "Doctor" who is guilty of puting folks on SSD That Doesen't need to be on it in Florda.  That is why alot of Doctors do not like to practice in Ny State also.  So at this point I have gone even cheaper by cutting back and not takeing any 18 year olds in as of yet.  And after I got chewed out last night I am really thinking of not takeing the girl in at this point in time.  I knew I had a bad feeling at Wensday night and now I know why between the girl geting snotty and The Hippy just going way beyond Drill Sargent on me also.  I pretty much gave up and refuse to pay for the girl to get up here since I diden't get her down to Albion NY at all.  I am not the rich person that The one Supposad Nice swears that I am.  The girl I am talking about has refused to live here at all becuase I am a hard Ass as they say on life.  The girl that I am talking about also isen't related to anyone here on all sides to the families in question.  We all narrowed her "Real" Father down to a cabbie in Lockport or a Canadian one like it matters which tooth bit Her Biological Mother to begin with.  I am not knocking the childs Real Mother at all at this point and whatever last name she is useing at this point in time.  Now it is bad when the girl went into Foster Care in another state and the Foster Mother looked at me point blank and said to me that this child looks like nobody here.  My responce to her was You figure it all out now.  And gave the Foster Mother a look like put it togeather now I have after the first 6 days I met the child.  At the age of 6 before this child left for PA.  And the loop hole for PA Laws for a child for the past 10 years at least has been that the neighbor can walk in and take custoty of the child even though they are A sexual predotor or not they all don't care.  Seen it all happen with 4 children and another child.  How many more have been just down right abused in the state of PA becuase of this law.  Ok folks have fun and play even harder.

Going cheap and quickly now

Shakeing my head if it's not one child then it's another.  Well now one of my real nieces is in trouble and I will see what I can do to help within 2 weeks.  If not she better hope I don't let the door smack her where the Good Lord Split her.  I still have a bad feeling about this all.  Maybe I have good reasons to have the feelings there.  So now I will be going very cheap very soon becuase of all of it.  I diden't want to do it this way at all and seeing that I have to move along for it I have to do what I have to do.  Now lets see what happends around here.  The true test of alot of things that are going on here in the can of being cheap.  Pluss I have to make a few phone calls and trail down paper work also on top of it all.  It is nice when some folks level with me and give me a heads up on alot of things.  Anyway I will still worry about the girl and at this point I don't have her yet.  I can't move hardly as it is let alone drive someplace to get her.  Now this will weigh heavy on me eather way for the next couple of days.  Ok folks have fun and play even harder.
