New northern shoestrings (or is it bootlaces?)

[shoestring]

Hi to all!
I'm so happy to find a community of people who aren't likely to give me THAT LOOK when I talk about living on next to nothing. I'm raising three teenage boys and a husband (at least sometimes it feels like I'm raising him), in the great white north of Canada. Our biggest challenges are budgeting better for food (big appetites) and getting out of debt. Any guidance, tips, encouragement that you can offer will be greatly appreciated, and I will try to be good to you too.

Welcome, enjoyed reading your intro, with 4 males around you need to come escape to this site frequently, lots of friendly people, advice, freebies and great info. It will be addictive though so be warned.

Shoestring, Welcome you have come to the right place for encouragement. There are alot of friendly people here. So if you have any questions just ask. We are all in the same boat here in one wat or another. Funny looks you won't see them here.

Enjoy - Looking forward to your future postings.

Welcome to the site. As mentioned above, you WILL become addicted. I think everyone is LOST when the site goes down for maintenance.

Welcome to the group, shoestring! I have four boys, but only 1 teenager. I don't know how you do that but my time is coming soon

So happy to have you Shoestring! When you have time you might want to go look at past items here! We've had lots of discussions on living on air! I grew up living on beans and rice! Didn't know we were broke until I grew up and left home! Now here we are frantically getting out of debt with 4 teens(2 of each!) and living on beans and rice, what they can shot/trap and bring home and what we can grow ourselves! I've turned those bean haters into some darn good hunters/fisher's! LOL!!!
