Wow! Summer is going fast and I am thinking back to school. Paula at Monroe on a Budget and I will be teaming up at the Rossford library on August 9, 2010 to talk “back to school on a budget” so to gear up each day we are going to have another topic to discuss. Starting August 1, 2010 to August 9, 2010. The Monroe Evening News and Paula will be having a back to school edition. Paula has so many great ideas….. make sure to check that out. I would also love any of your ideas you may like to share. Our first day August 1, 2010 and that will be school supplies.
Have a great day, Candy
I have been trying to stick to our family budget. I try to stay in a $300.00 a month on groceries. Many will think that is impossible with 6 people, but it is getting easier and I will share how.
I love when we have food in the house it makes me feel like I am providing for my family…..what a great feeling! Have a great day, Candy
I don’t know if this is true where you live I can only imagine that it is. People are hurting, struggling and trying to keep their heads above water. I can’t believe all the closed and boarded windows on business’ and empty homes with long grass. It got me thinking we must help one another to get through this tight time. One may ask “well that sounds great on paper, but how when we are struggling too? or I don’t even know my neighbor”
Start the conversation…… extend your hand.
I guess we just need to keep our eyes and ears open if those around us needing help. Many times I forget the elderly that live in my neighborhood.
I am a believer when I give it comes back 10 fold….maybe not in things, but in love and friendship. Let me know any stories that come your way and I will you. I will be loving my neighbor.
Have a great day and God’s blessings, Candy

Hi Candy!
I made a few of these cute lil buckets and thought I would share with you.
Going to give them out for 4th of July fun gifts.
I bought a galvanized pail at Michaels believe it or not they only cost me a penny yep .o1 so of course I had to come up with a cute fun idea to do with them.
Bought red, white and blue stickers to decorate the pail a little then I bought sparklers for $1.00 maybe $2.00 and divided them up then went to a dollar store and bought red, white, and blue candy things like baby ruth, 3 musketeer, crunch, york peppermint patties a $1.00 for a 8 pack of candy then I of course divided those up too. Found Welch’s berries and strawberries gummi candy for .88 and a red, white and blue magnetic shopping list for the refrigerator for $1.00 added them all to the bucket and have this cute inexpensive gift to give. Some buckets only have the candy in them but it’s still a cute gift for anyone!

Thanks Shelly they look great!
Busy and frugal….. I have to admit I have been in a frugal funk. I am extremely busy and sometimes lack of time can put a crimp in my frugal lifestyle. I have been feeling like I am a frugal fraud ( a term my husband has coined for our family when we are not living our frugal lifestyle) Today, I am feeling hopeful again….I actually hung clothes on the line! Days like today are great and the clothes dry quickly!
I won’t be having a garden this year…..I first time in 22 years. I have finally made peace with it and am telling myself next year is a new year.
Most of us are in different places in our lives and some are “more” frugal then others and that is ok. Anything we do to save is better than doing nothing.
Today is July 1 and I am going to start fresh and you can too. Little things add up, it takes one step at a time. Have a blessed day!
