New northern shoestrings (or is it bootlaces?)

**shoestring** · 02-11-2009, 11:47 AM

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.
