Oh Kadi girl, you just made my past flash before my eyes, and it seemed the older kids got, the more it cost, But some how we managed to get them all to be decent human beings, great parents, ( there were times I had doubts of how they would turn out, if I did’nt kill em’ in the process) But what they remember most is how we were all together, And at the end of the day, mom and dad was there, It’s those things that will forever be in their heart and memories. When I’d get really stressed I’d try to remember, Yes I can, Yes I can, And I did.

Have you guys thought of home-canning some fruits and veggies? You could grow your own produce or buy it cheap in bulk. The glass jars are reusable. The whole family can help with this project. A grandparent or senior friend could probably teach you how to do it. And some things just taste better when home-canned. My old lady neighbor puts a strip of bacon in her canned green beans, and they taste great!

Good luck in battling the oldest war in history; how to make money last longer!

Actually, your husband has the right idea. Remember that generations before us did as much (if not more) with less.

I actually subscribe to a magazine called Reminisce. It’s lots of old photos and great anecdotes by readers (most of them approximately 900 years old

There is no cure for the “I spent too much at the mega-market and/or the cable bill is so high” blues quite like remembering that in our great-grandparents day they dealt with rationing and 101 ways to cook chicken’s feet.

Two buck chuck? That might help with the wine.

I hear ya, with three kids, we’re constantly struggling to keep our heads above water financially. I think that there ought to be some moral test and all the good people get the money.
