Would like suggestions and advise (long)

Betty, I would not give up so easily on the street damage problems. I would

call an engineer not associated w/ the city for a consultation and to see if

he would go to court w/ you in case you have to sue the city for damages. I

would ck w/ other home owner ins to evaluate changing policies. None of this

was your problem but now everyone has laid it at your door step to solve!!

Do you have a Walgreen’s? You can buy on sale ,rebates,use their coupons.

BOGOF, buy lost leaders, buy on sale (stock up),at the grocery stores.Use

the sales flyers to plan your grocery shopping. Read thes at the library or

on line.(Sign up for the on line sales papers for the stores that your town

has.)

You can do this slowly to get your pantry stocked.

Start researching to mk your own cleaning solutions, frugal ways to

live,container gardening, shop at Goodwill on 1/2 price days. Cook from

scratch (ex. mk 2 meatloafs and cook both and freeze one for the day that

you are super tired. )Also can mk in muffin tins and freeze. Take leftovers

to work for breaks and lunch. Drink water.Save even the smallest of left

overs ,freeze in zip lock gallon baggie and then have soup -you can stretch

soup lots.

Could you set up payments w/ tax to pay so much /year? $12000 is a lot to

have addes on to your taxes.

Could you ck w/ some churches to start a Shares or AngelFood Ministeries?

Others could benefit from this.

I became a foster parent for babies only after I retired early from

nursing. I loved it.I was needed,loved,no heavy lifting, and finally adopted

a son who is now 10yo.You have to train to be a foster parent -mine was on

Tues and Thurs evening for 3 months.

My area does not have double or triple coupons either but I manage to

save.

I use sheets from Goodwill to mk napkins (colored),hankies(white).

You are doing lots of wonderful frugal things already.
