My dear friend Shelly is at it again….I thought I’d share
Candy ~ here is an idea if you want to share I bought flip-flops for $1.00 and yarn for .52 cents This cute project only cost $1.52 each and I had 3 teenager girls make a pair each They loved it!
Hot glue at the beginning and wrap around flip-flop and hot glue at the end.
Takes about 15 – 30 min.
Thanks to Shelly for sharing! If you have a frugal idea please share. Have a great day, Candy
Yesterday, I received my Kraft Kitchen email and there is a section for Budget Wi$e recipes.
What are some budget wi$e recipes you have?
I have to laugh when someone in my family says “we have nothing to eat!” What they are really saying is we don’t have convenience foods. Our budget takes a beating on all the convenience foods. 3 teenagers in the house and Randy and I working long hours convenience seems to be what we look for.
When I plan and use my crockpot it is wonderful to come home from work and I don’t hear “what’s for dinner, mom?”
Here are some of the sites I like to find quick, easy and budget friendly recipes. If you have any tips you would like to add please do.
Have a blessed day, Candy
Old / made new: I just hate throwing away things. I had 2 piture frames I always thought I would find new glass for well I never did.
Picture frame 1
Randy stapled some of my leftover chicken wire from our garden onto the back of the frame and then viola´. Now I can keep all my earrings together and display them nice.
This one my Dad attached a piece of steel to make a magnet message board.
What are somethings old you are making new?
Have a great day, Candy
My mom has been sending me old pictures and I thought I would share.
Deal with it, Simply home page is going through some changes this weekend and I hope to have both pages up and running next week. Have Blessed Easter! Candy
A dear friend sent me pictures of the goodies she will be passing out for Easter and I thought I would share.
“I used smoothie glasses from Libby Glass they were .88 cents tissue paper any color will work styrofoam pieces, suckers that I bought at the dollar store, bended straw that I have in the house, ribbon that was on sale at Michael’s for $1.00 shredded paper and rick rack ribbon that I already had here at home arrange however you think will look cute. I made 4 of these and they were less than $5.00 a piece Cute fun idea”
“For this ice cream theme I bought tubs at Big Lot’s lined container with purple and yellow crinkled paper (Maumee colors:) bought sprinkles, syrup, cones, nuts etc…(whatever the people I was giving too liked) added some bunnies for Easter bought Baskin Robbin hard candies at the dollar store, and Coldstone ice cream jelly beans too added fun stuff to fit the person I was giving it too and the local ice cream stand gift cards (Toozer’s Time Out in Maumee) I bought everything on sale or with coupons if possible depending on how much you buy a gift card will depend on how much this gift will cost.
Mine around $10.00-$20.00 maybe
Sorta fun to make!”
“I bought baskets at the dollar tree, lined it with Saran wrap, placed held a head of lettuce in the bottom and kale on the sides used a cookie cutter to cut the pineapple, melon baller to scoop out the melon, placed a grape or 2 on a skewer then the pineapple then the melon arranged in basket cut skewers to fit in your basket it didn’t turn out as cute as I had thought but still a neat idea”
Wow, Thanks for sharing Shelly!
have a blessed day, Candy
