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...

I got a check for $2.63 from a car that was wrecked in 2016

 The Question: Just a little laugh… I got a check for $2.63 from a car that was wrecked in 2016. I knew my ship would come in! What did people say? ⇒ Heather: Make sure not to spend it all in one place! 😁 ⇒ Annette: I got a check for 1 cent once for a car my son had wrecked. They paid the loan and owed me a penny. They hand delivered that check too. ⇒ Jessica: I got a check from Capital One, for $1.93. It was part of a settlement that I didn’t even know about. But I put that $1.93 in the bank!  ⇒ Michele: I was part of a class action suit and received a check for .51 cents a couple of months ago. Never cashed it. ⇒ Jeanette: Well in the words of my great grandmother it's better than a jab in the butt with a sharp stick. At least it's a little something ⇒ Cheryl: Now I feel really lucky. Yesterday I got a debit card for $7.86 from a class action law suit against our Electric company. Enjoy. ⇒ Brenda: Don’t tell family. I won $10.00 from publishing clearing house and I h...

Is this being frugal/smart or cheap/stupid idea?

 The Question: Heart worm medicine can get pretty expensive. I have 2 chihuahuas. One is 3.5lbs and the other is 2lbs. Well one chewable is made for dogs under 25lbs. Can I get one and split it in half since my pups are so tiny? Or bad idea? Too embarrassed to ask my vet. What did people say? ⇒ Lauren: They should have told you how much they could take! ⇒ Cari: Don’t be embarrassed to ask Vet. It’s a great question. ⇒ Kim: Please don't mess with meds, especially with dogs. I know someone who didn't take it seriously and their elderly dog had both heartworms and hookworms. It's not worth it. ⇒ Ashley: As a vet, each of those meds is not equally mixed. If you split in half 1 dog could get all while the other dog gets none. ⇒ Jenny: I had two 50# dogs and the vet let me know they could split a 100# tablet. It did save money. ⇒ Fran: I've had 3 dogs, never used any chemicals on or in them. No flea and tick collars or drops. No heartworm pills. All mutts, never caused a...
