Fast food restaurants are a great source for free napkins, salt, pepper, sweetener, ketchup, sugar, coffee creamer, etc. I buy the cheapest item on the menu, then fill my to-go sack with everything I need. It’s not stealing as long as you buy something.

@BarbaraLee — You are so right. Grandma and Grandpa sure knew what they were doing! I wish they could be the ones running our country. Amy

@Stephanie — I find that discontent festers if I look at too many magazines or surround myself with people who “have more” than I have. Stop it! Cling to your frugal friends… even if those friends are your bloggy friends!

@Jen — You are so right! What a blessing that you are able to celebrate and keep a positive attitude in an otherwise very stressful time. Good for you to have a plan in place.

Sherry — Oh, I wish there was a way for you to make some cash off of meals… you’re SUCH a good cook! Can it be done “unofficially” by word of mouth for friends and neighbors?

@Peter Exactly! My extra babysitting cash isn’t going to make us rich, but every little bit helps! It definitely covers groceries.

That is like living in our grandparents era. The problem is too many people are spoiled and lazy.
It shows big time. This is one family who lives like grandma & grandpa.

@Kristen: Isn’t it amazing? It’s what you do with what you have, not having more that makes all the difference. I’m so glad you stopped by!
