Giant Lettuce

Last night we feasted on a lovely salad, made with this giant head of lettuce from my garden. I believe it is a romaine-type lettuce. I get my lettuce seeds from Pinetree, I love their lettuce mix. So I don’t really know exactly which one this is. It is very good tasting and will be enough for three salads.

Yours Truly,

Changing Garbage Pickup Companies

We pay $32 a month for garbage pickup in our area. When we first moved out here in 2002 we hauled our own garbage for quite a while. Then we decided to sign up for trash pickup. We had one can for a year or two and then we ordered a second can. The cans hold 90 gallons. We pay every quarter in advance.

Some people in … click here to continue reading Changing Garbage Pickup Companies

Target 90% Off – The Countdown Begins

My FAVORITE shopping day of the year. The day that Target marks its Christmas inventory down to 90%. This means WE pay only 10% of the retail cost.

Imagine getting 40 beautiful, high quality Christmas cards for $1.49 – instead of $14.99!

Thick rolls of wrapping paper for $0.34 instead of $3.49.

Bows and ribbons for $0.49 instead of $4.99.

Just thinking about it makes me giddy!! And I’m not typically a … click here to continue reading Target 90% Off – The Countdown Begins

AJ Gets A Job

My baby son has been hired to run a kitchen for a senior citizen center. He did some volunteering there and they liked his work ethic so much that they offered him a part time job. $10 an hour and 24 hours a week, but he’s tickled with the position. Oh, and I guess since he’s 19, I can’t call him my baby boy any longer. But you … click here to continue reading AJ Gets A Job

Pear Crumb Cake – A Little Lighter and Perfect for a Holiday Brunch

Now I know this isn’t a cooking blog, but here’s how it fits in with personal finance and frugality:

I used ingredients I had in the house, instead of wasting time and money driving to a store (the nearest city that might have open stores is 22 miles away!)
I made it from scratch, so it was cheaper than buying store made.
Some ingredients were given to us free (almonds and the yogurt).
No … click here to continue reading Pear Crumb Cake – A Little Lighter and Perfect for a Holiday Brunch

Merry, Merry Christmas!! Congratulations to Kacie over at Sense to Save who has a newborn baby boy born on Saturday the 20th!

Nearly an entire year has gone by, it’s hard to believe. I also can’t believe how fast Christmas swooped in on me. It always gets here before I know it, every single year.

Will The "New" Truck Be A Wise Investment?

I wrote about the “new” truck we purchased over the weekend. We discovered in the past few days of tracking mileage that this truck gets nearly 20mpg which is excellent.

Mr. A put 15,400 miles on his old work truck in 2008. The miles per gallon varied, depending on how fast he drove. When he could travel at 55 miles per hour, he could get 15 miles … click here to continue reading Will The "New" Truck Be A Wise Investment?

"New" Business Truck

Mr. A’s work truck is a Ford F150, I can never remember the year on it but I think it’s a 1987. It broke down again on Thursday. I finally got him and AJ put on my AAA towing service account. AAA is pretty cool in that they will add other people onto your account and prorate the account, so it only cost me $40 to have them added. … click here to continue reading "New" Business Truck
