[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 515680, member: 65"] I joined a vanpool for work. It hoovers big time. The hours of the van means I have 9 1/2 hour work days but only get paid for 8. But, it's $74 a month for gas instead of $60 a week. Oh and the men of the vanpool require silence through the whole ride there and back. Uhg..... But I'm saving money and wear on my poor old car. husband carpools with his boss too. husband and I got a killer deal on a woodstove ($150) for an almost new stove. We just need to save up money to have it installed. That should help with the power bill next year. And we have 10 trees that are so close to the house that we can leagally have them taken down without a lot of permits/fees. And husband's cousin does that for a living so instead of $500 a tree, it will be $100 a tree. We found a guy in the neighboring county that has Grass-fed to finish cows for under $3 a pound. My folks go in with us on getting the cow. And I get all the bones to make bone broth for us and for the dogs. And I get all those inner parts to cook up for the dogs. Next time I go up there I'm going to see if I can get the bones from the people that don't want them. I'm hoping that kevin will give me a good deal if not just give them to me. Down the road I have a local small family farm where I get my pastured eggs and raw milk. I might pay $4 for a dozen eggs but I can't eat more than 2 of them for breakfast and am full for a long time. And when the farmer butchers chickens, if the machine that processes them damages the chicken, like breaks a leg bone or rips the skin, she sells those really cheap. husband and I are going to work on a big garden this year. easy child will be home so he can help us out with it. I just hope we have good growing weather this year. The last two times we tried the weather up here was horrible for gardens. I use less water and power than I did 3 years ago but pay at least twice as much for 1/2 the amount. And I'm supposed to believe that we don't have inflation??? Guess I'm out in left field during football season once again. Since my job scare, husband & I want to get as much paid off as we can so that we can make it on one paycheck. I don't know how that is going to happen. We've cut out so much. The only thing we haven't cut out yet is the TV, but we've been talking about it. [/QUOTE]
