Ever since we moved two years ago, we have been eating off plastic and paper plates. Our last set of dishes were only $10 and we thought we’ll just pick up some new ones. Well, we could never find anything we liked that was cheap as $10/set.
I love bargains and stopped by the local [...]
It seemed every time I would visit my grandmother - who lived about three miles from us so we would visit quite often - she would offer to make me biscuits. She made the best biscuits. My mom makes really good biscuits, too. But I have never attempted to make homemade biscuits until now.

My little girl loves marshmallows and so when we go to the grocery store she usually insists on getting a bag. I comply since it’s $1 and it keeps her happy even if we have plenty of marshmallows at home. But I noticed that we had nearly 3 bags of mini-marshmallows and her marshmallow eating [...]
After making blueberry jam a few weeks ago, I’ve been wanting a food processor since it would have been so much easier to prepare the blueberries with one. Much to my surprise, the food processors were cheaper than I thought, so I was able to get one for $29. Last weekend I tested it out [...]

So since we had an abundance of blueberries, I decided to make some blueberry jam. This would be my first attempt at making jam and canning. [...]
Last week I was sick. It’s no fun to be sick in the summer. It just seems wrong. But like most bugs that make their way around, both my husband and daughter now have it. Thankfully I’m feeling better so that I can take care of them.
This week I have a lot of catching up [...]

One suggestion is to use bleach. This makes [...]
A dear friend of mine is getting married this weekend, so I would love to get her something nice for her wedding. But with a limited budget, my options are not that great but there is a neat website that lets you divvy up the price of an item between several people.
