I have little bitty dry spots on my legs. It looks like a chicken skin plugged

 The Question:

What can I use to clear these bumps up knot to expensive?

What did people say?

⇒ Elizabeth: Caster oil – Amlactin.

⇒ Susan: After the above mentioned methods start shaving with body lotion or hair conditioner. You will need to rinse your blade more and you may need to pull down and not up when shaving as I found that what was causes the trouble. After a few weeks of shaving with lotion and downward motion my skin cleared. Wipe off excess. Its a great way to reuse lotions you do not care for and it uses them up.

⇒ Lynn: It sounds like you need to exfoliate the skin. Go on Pintrest and look up sugar scrubs, can't get much less expensive than that. Once you put a scrub together, apply it with your hand or a washcloth then rinse off with warm not hot water. Apply a moisturizer of your choice.

⇒ Angie: Make a paste with baking soda and coconut oil. Scrub then put coconut oil or baby oil on after rinsing and pat dry. It will make your skin soooo soft and bumps will go away.

⇒ Angie: Exfoliate with sugar. Use a couple of teaspoons of sugar to scrub with just add it to your soap lather. Rinse well then moisturize.

Even with unemployment and child support, I’m still around $400 short each month

 The Question: I never had any real issues with debt, always felt in control of it and nothing was too out of hand. But 2 years ago my child’s father took me to court and I not only had that burden, but also had to pay the mortgage on my own and all the utilities and bills (I didn’t receive any child support for a year after filing) and through that time I racked up serious credit card debt (about $40k).  I was doing “OK” but mostly paying minimum payments and more on them here and there when I could.  Then in July I got laid off of my job of 10 years. Even with unemployment and child support, I’m still around $400 short each month and that’s not buying food or necessities, or anything at all. I’ve interviewed at several places and applied to over 100 jobs so far. I feel like I’m in a rut at this point and I’m trying to figure out the best way to get out of this situation with advice that maybe others have that have gone through something similar.  TIA What did people say? ⇒ Tracy: Yo

I still hunt around for the best prices on everything and I can’t bring myself to buy a new car

The Question: I grew up poor. Like not having electricity, running water and only eating at school for stretches at a time poor. I broke the generational curse of poverty and it’s been 20+ years since I’ve struggled but because of my experience with poverty, I abhor waste and always feel  the need to be prepared.  Because of this when we bought our home we bought in the country and I made sure it had its own water source and abundant wildlife. I learned to can food and make all our meals from scratch (because it’s healthier and cheaper) and we save and eat all the left overs. I still hunt around for the best prices on everything and I can’t bring myself to buy a new car. (We have used cars we have kept running for almost two decades). The thought of spending thousands on a vehicle  makes me physically ill to even contemplate. Expensive vacations  give me the same anxiety. We’ll spend the money to visit our daughter who is active duty military, wherever the military may take her but an

I need suggestions on frugal foods that fit medical conditions

 The Question: I eat very low carb/keto to control diabetes without meds. I had a bowel obstruction and need to eat very low fiber to help things pass without getting stuck again for a week or two. Any suggestions on ideas of what I can eat that won't break the bank, spike my blood sugar or cause another obstruction? What did people say? ⇒ Donna: Make your own bone broth. I use it as a midafternoon snack. ⇒ Nicole: It sounds like you need a carnivore diet. It's fairly popular and fits what you are looking for. Basically eat unprocessed or minimally process full fat animal products. Double check with your dietitian on your specific needs but it's quite reasonable if you by Mark down meat, pork, eggs etc. I got a ton of steak at 3-4 each by figuring out where and when to shop. ⇒ Mims: I eat a low carb lifestyle because I'm trying to lose weight and get rid of inflammation. I eat eggs, ground beef, canned tuna and chicken mostly for my proteins. I just shop around for t
