• You "Cheap Date", you!

  At one time, that label was considered an insult. For a gentleman to take out a young lady and stress over the expense and count pennies to barely go anywhere or do anything was often a mark of shame meaning he thought her less worthy of any money spent...

• Holiday Ideas on a Dime (or better yet, FREE)

  Wow. We are almost to the end of the year. You know what that means don't you? The temptation to get 'malled' at the mall and shop for gifts we can't afford in crowds we may not enjoy and spend money we just don't have. How does one...

• Homesteading on a porch

  I always love to hear the trials and triumps of others who have that same pioneering spirit of a homesteader. Many people are overcoming the limits in which they live (financial, spacial, educational,etc) to find ways to improve their lives on a deeper...

• Left Over Turkey Ideas!

  We had two turkeys for Thanksgiving. Somehow we anticipated a hoard of guest that just never seemed to show up so now we are over loaded with turkey. We have a left over smoked turkey and a regular one. There should be an award for how many dishes you...

• Saving pennies does add up

  Plastic baggies. Aluminum foil. 25# -50# Grain bags Mulit purpose uses for things like a dehydrator. Cheap storage for pots/pans/lids. One grain used many ways. All these (and more as my mind works) are multi-use topics that help me save pennies around...

• How to stretch a left over baked potato.

  Now, I know there are more ideas than this one....but this is our FAVORITE way to use them rather than toss them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MumZcIjTJQ It's short so it should load pretty fast! Best Blessings and enJOY!

• *cough*cough*wheeze*wheeze* finding the relief in teas.....

  Oh well...I'm trying..... You know the old Alka-Seltzer jingle.....that was a poor play on it...... Anyway, I have been out of sorts for a few days and it got me to thinking (now that the head-fog has lifted) that there is a certain mentality to sickness...
