Re: How to Save Money

Quote:
You have

1. A scrubber made from a mesh onion bag. YES.

2.A squirt bottle made of homemade window cleaner. NO. (a friend bought me window cleaner when I moved in....otherwise that'd be a yes)

3. A new soap bar with a sliver adhered. YES

4. A bundle of old socks in the workshop to be used as a grease rag. YES. Not necessarily for grease...but I always save old socks.

5. A pair of pantyhose minus the bad leg. No....but I do have SOCKS like this. If I wore pantyhose I'd have this...but I don't. Do the socks then count as a yes? lol

6. A jug of vegetable broth in the refrigerator. Frozen chicken broth in the freezer. I'm going to vote yes here.

7. A 20 quart box of powdered milk. YES

8. A roll of paper towels cut in half. No, but I do have a stack of cheap washclothes. No papertowels anywhere in our house.

9. Any overturned bottle in the process of draining the last bit out. YES.

10. A pencil less than three inches long. YES.

11. A marked-down crushed box of cold cereal. Not right now, no.

12. Any item repaired with a twist-tie, paper clip or hanger. Yes.

13. A shower curtain repaired with duct tape. Not duct tape.....but repaired, yes.

14. An impressive stash of one of the following items: No. I just made my oldest throw away all the toilet paper tubes he was saving for his teacher's guinea pig. They never managed to get to school and I was tired of looking at them.

15. A screwdriver with a tip that has been reground several times. NO...all new tools a friend bought me when I moved in.

16. A started shopping list on the back of a utility bill envelope. Yes.

17. A stockpile of .44 per can tuna. No, NO icky tuna! (don't ask me about my mac and cheese stash though....)

18. A started container of "refrigerator stew" in the freezer. Nope, just ate it 2 nights ago as....leftover stew. lol

19. An indoor clothesline or wooden drying rack. NO....but I wish I had the money to get one right now.
I think if you take my yes answers...and add in my conditional yes answers....I qualify.

But...I already know I qualify. Time is money...but when I was a stay at home mom...we didn't buy toilet paper, diapers, wipes, paper towels. I just did a lot of laundry. Y'all will be happy to know we have toilet paper in the house now that no one wears diapers and I work full time. lol

God did it for us. Out of sheer generosity he put us in right standing with himself. A pure gift. He got us out of the mess we're in and restored us to where he always wanted us to be. And he did it by means of Jesus Christ. ~Romans 3:24 from The Message
