Homemade stuff seems somehow to be warmer that shop brought! Yes it does take a lot of planning, but I am saving $50 a week so its adding up quick, makes me hang my head in shame to think how I wasted my money before.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004012261821317094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105751542768548852.post-4384115952007410702017-02-27T14:25:35.345+13:002017-02-27T14:25:35.345+13:00P.S.

I have never knitted but would love to learn as I am getting older (I just turned 62). I live in a cold area and would love to make sweaters, socks, gloves and hats. <br /><br />I agree with you, and Jane, that you go to the grocery store THEN decide what your meal plan will be depending upon the sales. I try not to ever buy anything that is not on sale. My husband and I have a small income and are trying to buy a small home and, as we all know, the only area it seems you can cut back at times is in the grocery bill. You can eat well on a small budget but you have to plan and use the sales. <br /><br />I am glad Jane pointed me your way. Will catch up on your back blogs!<br /><br />Hugs! <br />Cate<><Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08997071643007495600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105751542768548852.post-74042722508819983342017-02-25T09:15:31.845+13:002017-02-25T09:15:31.845+13:00Thank you for visiting Regina.

I think what grated with me was that the week before I saw some for $3.20 and I was going to grab some but decided not to as I had half a packet in the fridge!!!

A few weeks back, I found some in the reduced for quick sale bin at a local grocery store. You can be sure I snatched it all up and froze it. Otherwise, I would have gone with margarine. Even that is getting expensive. Maybe I'll be forced to go back to Grandma's day and use schmaltz (chicken fat). Ha! <br /><br />I know what you mean about the reclaimed yarn. I've read, but haven't tried, that if you wind it into long skeins and get it wet, then hang it out on the line to dry, it will go back into it's original shape. Usually when I start these new projects, I'm too excited to start to have the patience for that. BTW, both your shawl and doily are beautiful. You do wonderful work!<br />Have a beautiful and thrifty week!<br /><br />Hugs<br />Jane<br /><br /> Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851312702044308420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8105751542768548852.post-1571888669670316492017-02-22T21:28:59.120+13:002017-02-22T21:28:59.120+13:00Your crochet is lovely!
Glad you found some good ...Your crochet is lovely!<br /><br />Glad you found some good bargains at the store. Butter is expensive, here, too (Southern California); $4.49/lb. for the store brand; more for other brands. It was on sale for $3.99/lb. when I bought some, with a $.40 cents off coupon, so my final cost was $3.59. Not good. I try to stock up when it goes on sale, but it hasn't gone on sale for a long time. My monthly grocery budget is $75 (US) for 1 person and I find myself doing very well for that amount. I enjoyed reading through your menu plan. Hope you have a lovely week ahead.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.com
