I would like to know the same thing. My own mother has been fighting the state of washington for 3 years for some sort of pension after a work related car accident left her unable to work. I just hope they catch this when it's time for a review of the case. I understand that the children need to eat but this case is taking food away from ...

Thanks ladies. I really like the muffin idea and have considered lately bringing to her house fresh made meals in exchange for the fish that her husband catches and shares with us on occasion as a way to say thankyou to him. Maybe he will start bugging to to cook "real" food as well. Her kids get some healthy stuff once in ...

Oh trust me. I try to explain the benefits of cooking healthy foods from scratch even showed her how to can her own foods this past summer. The problem is that she doesn't want to change. She has no patience for anything other than couponing, which she is doing to the point of causing debilitating debt and some of the worst credit ...

I remember these. My mom had one when we were kids and we used it to scrub the linoleum floors. The only place I have ever seen these is at thrift stores. They are from a by gone era. I have never seen a "updated" system like this before.

I have a friend who recently applied for and is recieving foodstamps or I should say the new ebt card. The first month she got only 2 weeks payment as she insisted it was an emergency.She is also claiming disability because she does not want to work. She spent that $130 in 1 week. Her husband is active duty military and makes plenty of money ...

I have used clipped coupons before and when I pressed the issue I was able to double up my clipped and target coupons. It's been awhile since I have used coupons at target though because I hardly ever make it over to the local target any more. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks ladies. I can't wait to give this a try.

Not too long ago it was contaminated beef that was being fed to kids via the free lunch progam. It is so much less expensive and safer to just send our dd out the door with leftovers in the morning. The beef recall put me over the edge during the 07-08 school year. It is a shame that goverment officials can be bought the way ...

The year my mom scraped together enough money to buy me a barbie and my brother a train set. We played with those toys for years. Another was when at my grandparents for christmas and a dog they were sitting pee'd on my aunts foot while we were opening gifts. As a kid whose foot had not been pee'd on it was hilarious.

I encourage  dh to NOT buy me gifts for any holiday including our anniversary. I would rather save the money. He will occasionally buy me a live plant which I don't mind. He gets a big kick out of telling his co-workers that he doesn't celebrate things like valentines day  because all of his co-workers are sure ...
