This week will be a simple week for planned dinners in that there will only be one cooked meal. We’ll be having Little Caesar’s pizza and breadsticks one night and then lots of Christmas dinners. Once we get sick of Christmas dinner, we’ll be having ham sandwiches with fruits. Not much in the way of thrifty meal ideas folks, sorry to disappoint. Next week I’ll have a $5 menu back up, and rest assured it will not have ham anywhere {Read More}

How to Get Blood Out of Clothing- Turkey’s Nighttime Nosebleed

I learned a great trick for getting blood out of clothing several years ago when hubby had to undergo 3 rounds of chemotheraphy and had some gushers as they tried to find new veins. It sure came in handy this week. Monday night I find Turkey sitting up in his bed crying. This isn’t like him. “What’s wrong, little bud” “I messed my bed up” I think he’s thrown up, but when I get down on his level to tell {Read More}

Faster Coupon Clipping Time Saver Tip # 20

I read somewhere years ago to use a ruler (wooden with a metal edge) as a straight edge and tear your coupons instead of cutting them. It’s quick and easy, and you don’t have to worry as much about little ones getting a hold of your coupon scissors. Another idea for faster coupon clipping is to pay someone else to cut them for you. I once had a very profitable side business of cutting coupons. I don’t remember all the {Read More}

I just got home from Target a little while ago. I found quite a few toys already reduced by 30%. I was very tempted to buy a little cooking set for Turkey- I even had it in the cart for a while, but I came to my senses (seeing as he already has 3 cooking sets- one of which is real) and put it back. There were also numerous Christmas items on clearance. All trees seemed to be 20% off {Read More}
