Gotta learn how to make jam!



What did people say?

  • ⇒ Annie: I’m a jelly maker myself. So fun and makes great teacher gifts! And I give the skins and pulp to my boss for her chickens.
  • ⇒ Robin: Making jam is a gateway to canning. You're likely to escalate to pickles and tomatoes. 
  • ⇒ Judy: Frozen grapes are also wonderful on sore throats, in addition to keeping wine cold without diluting it.
  • ⇒ Carla: I just picked over 40 lbs of my champion blue-ribbons grapes (fair). my friend makes jelly & cordial w/ it.
  • ⇒ Un Kno: Soo easy 1 pound fruit 1/2 cup sugar. Med heat while mashing fruit til it’s dark. Test by placing small amount on a glass plate from freezer. Drag spoon thur tester if it comes back together after 2 min on sitting on counter not ready. Like takes 20 minutes max.

Lost time with my family and money from eating out!

My Case: Last night I came home from job 1 to do an extra shift at my hobby job (library movie night staff). I didn’t have much time so we ordered 5 guys $60). I went to my hobby job and made $56. Lost time with my family and money from eating out! Frugal fail and I already saw the movie. What did people say? ⇒ Mary: Maybe look at it that because of the second job, you were able to pay for the 5 guys meal with only an additional $4. ⇒ Judi: You paid for a nice dinner and got to watch a free movie for 4 bucks. Change your thinking you will change your life. I call this a win. ⇒ Theresa: It's not a fail if you learned something. And it is clear that you did. Make the lesson complete by making changes. ⇒ Sandy: I’d say your second job is not helping you get ahead. You don’t say how old your kids are. You’ll never get those hours back. Do as much home cooking as you can( from scratch). Cut corners where you can and enjoy time with your family. Next month, next year, things could be...

Does anyone know how to get a airport lounge pass for cheap?

The Question: Sometimes we have long layovers at airport. I would really appreciate it. Thanks.. What did people say? ⇒ Connie: Fly first class. We use Alaska airlines and miles. Hawaiian lounge pass we needed to pay for and your flight must be with Hawaiian. ⇒ Lisa: Forget capital ones United credit card pass…at DIA, they have set up an alternative lounge for all of us with credit card passes due to construction and it might as well be a bus station with off brand packaged snacks. Felt like expired leftovers. ⇒ Wojtyna: Buy a first class ticket & you get a lounge pass for free usually depending on the airline ⇒ Erin: If you are a responsible consumer, the best way is by CC. But this does not work for everyone’s lifestyle. I travel a lot for work and we travel as a family whenever we can too. So for me, the American Express Reserve card and its annual fee of $650, with all the perks, is a great deal. For my husband it’s not as great of deal so he is going to switch next year to...

What do I cover dryer vent hole with?

The Question: My 30+ y/o dryer died and I had it hauled off and won’t be buying another for awhile (I’m retired, on my own, and trying to save every last cent). What do I cover dryer vent hole with? (need frugal suggestions please). Junk hauler told me to stick old rag or T-shirt. Can I use something like cardboard and duct tape? Thanks What did people say? ⇒ Mckay: I’d maybe put some steel wool in it too so animals can’t chew through it. ⇒ Angie F: Steel wool and duct tape. Mice and rats can't chew through steel wool. ⇒ Nancy: $10 and you can buy a cap in the furnace duct aisle. ⇒ Connie: My husband covered ours with a sheet of metal and screwed it to the floor on all corners. We taped over the hole first with duct tape so any insects would get stuck to the tape and not wiggle through a minuscule crack. Nothing is coming in that hole. ⇒ Kay: Steel wool/duct tape and then nail down an old cookie sheet or some other tin over it ⇒ Michele: If you don’t fill with steel wool mice...
