Household Expenses

Taking care of household expenses can be a little daunting, but with active planning and forethought, it can be manageable. Being smart about grocery expenses, cleaning supplies and household goods can have you save little by little, but it adds up. You can go extreme with some of the money saving tips, but it can be something as simple as making adjustments such as using air conditioning in only dire situations, going a day or a week without spending, or finding other options to entertain yourself and your family. You can save quite a bit of money doing some of the things you might unknowingly pay for by purchasing store-bought items. You can save money by grinding your own flour, using some of items in your pantry to do laundry instead of purchasing extra cleaning supplies and make your purchases last longer by learning how to mend and repair broken items or ripped clothing.

How To Remove Bloodstains From Clothing

A friend of mine taught me how to remove blood stains from clothing a few years ago, and I can't tell you how thankful I am for that.

There was one boy in our class who couldn’t have the pizza and, worse yet, had forgotten his lunch. He Keep Reading

How To eat Beans Every Day For A Week Without Getting Bored

Beans are widely heralded as the cheapest source of protein we can get. But we don’t eat them very often. Why? Maybe it’s because they’re just too boring. Or so we think. The truth is, they’re not any more boring than a cup of flour. It’s what you do with that cup of flour - or beans as the case Keep Reading

If you’re like me though, the idea of adding yet another chore to the stack of things your already doing may cause rooms (or even the outdoors) to suddenly seem very small, shortness of breath, dizziness, Keep Reading

  Inside/under coffee tables and end tables. If you have end tables or a coffee table that is either enclosed, or that you cover with a table cloth, you can fit neatly boxed food underneath. I can fit a single box of (one dozen) quart jars under our end table. One box is better than Keep Reading

Three Big Reasons Why You Should Grind Your Own Flour

July 17, 2014 By Elise New 2 Comments This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure policy for more info.

Why should you grind your own flour when there’s perfectly good flour available at the grocery store and online? We’re all so busy that there has to be some seriously good incentive to warrant taking on another chore.  So here are the three main reasons why I own a grain mill: 1. Freshly Ground Keep Reading
