    I've been lurking here for several months now and have so enjoyed reading everyones' posts!  I'm a SAHM at present(the last 8 years) but am a registered nurse by profession and although DH is a firefighter and works a second job as well, things are really getting tight around here.  We are a family of 4 (2 adults and a 9yr old DD and a 16yr old DS who is 6'2" 270lb linebacker who eats "MEAT" like there is no tomorrow), I am trying my darndest to make ends meet without having to go back to work.  We have no family within an hour's drive from us and the 9 yr old can't stay by herself if DH is on a 24 hr shift as DS spends most time after school on the football field.  Anyhoo, that is a long rambling intro, but just glad to be here and getting to know everyone and stretching those dollars! Rhonda

     Welcome!   I have a nine yo dd, too! I agree, she'll have to be in daycare for a year or two. Is there one at her school?  Glad to have you on, looking forward to your frugal health tips.

    Welcome out of lurkdom Rhonda (Captainslady)!! Smile

    With you linebacker, do you have a freezer where you can invest in a cow and make your meat cheaper? 

    Matthew 5:16
    Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
    1 Samuel 12:24
    But be sure to fear the Lord and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

    We do have a freezer, and I buy huge amts of meat when on sale (chicken, pork, beef) and freeze it.  But like yesterday, he ate a pound of ground beef, and 5 chix leg quarters and 7 chix legs plus side dishes (and at least 3 cups of plain rice-his simple carbs)  after football practice and for supper!  And the gallons of milk he drinks, it would be cheaper to hitch a milk cow in the back yard!
