I took 4 pair of boots, cowboy and fashion, and one pair of dress shoes that don't fit me anymore. I was sad about the cowboy boots.

I bought groceries. So far I've gone a couple of days not eating out. Well, except for going out with my Mom, but that is so I know she gets at least one good meal a week. She cooks more than I do...

My friends paid for my meal. We had a discussion about it. Sometimes the thing to do is just smile and say thank you.

A lot of interesting posters here have been run off over the years because they didn't fit some other poster's idea of what the posts here are supposed to look like. It was more fun for me in the...

My situation is a bit tricky in that we go out several times during the winter (we are snowbirds) and always each pay. Also, the gentleman is a Southern Gentleman, and so I'm thinking they will...

I have potentially made a worse etiquette error. I have invited a couple of good friends to go out to dinner with me to celebrate my birthday next week. I intended that we each pay for our own...

I had my breast cancer surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale. I received top notch medical care. My issue is with their somewhat heavy handed attitude about finances. It is a place for rich...

The biggest impact for me was attempting to do an inventory. If anyone wants to realize their true abundance, try counting your possessions. Ok, those, 100 items only folks, that is kinda of where...

Old pictures I took in Jr High and High School are being tossed. I don't ever see any of those folks, and it's been 50 years in some cases since the pictures were taken. The actual album they were...

I'm eating out of my pantry and enjoying it. I just took some Naan out of the freezer that I got at the day-old bread outlet a few weeks ago. It is awesome. I'll go back one day next week and get...

Get some Indian spices and even just lentils cooked with onion and the spices will be good. I don't know for sure what I have, but I'm using it more and more since it did so well in the lentils I...

My project of eating my pantry down got a kick in the pants from letting my car plates expire on Friday, but not realizing until Saturday morning. Three day weekend so I can't get legal until...

Mostly due to reading this thread I am getting more serious about clearing out my pantry and keeping less on hand but more what I'll actually cook. The video of the $3/day guy is encouraging,...

As a cancer survivor myself, I send best wishes for quick and complete recovery to you daughter.

Present also. I live in AZ now, retired and living in my motorhome. I live winter's around Phoenix and summers in a small town at higher elevation where it is cooler. I tend to pop in and comment...

T-shirt and book taken to Mom to disperse. She enjoys giving stuff away. Putting out a pair of shorts to give away, another pair will go after Laundry. A favorite t-shirt is getting small. ...

All my old make-up brushes, and all my old make-up. I don't have new make-up as I stopped wearing it when I retired. Most of this stuff is 10-20 years old. Into the trash! Also a very few books. ...

Here in AZ most of the Coconino and parts of the Tonto National Forests are closed because of the lack of rain. We are under, I believe, Stage 3 restrictions. Even smoking a cigarette outside of a...

I live full time in my motor home in AZ. I live in RV parks down in Phoenix metro (mostly East Valley area) and when I feel like it I turn the key and move. The rent in the parks is cheaper for the...

I go to Algodones, MX rather than Nogales. It is smaller and, for me, more fun. I like to run down to that area every once in awhile, anyway. Cheap glasses, dentists, and great food.

I joined the local Elks Lodge this past year. I have a so-far unused gym membership. AARP, Good Sam (for fuel discounts mostly), Passport America (saved the membership fee in one night on a trip in...

I'm thinking of making a trek back East in late summer (live in Phoenix now) and may drive by that way. I've driven past the signs on I70 for most of my life. I should stop in.

I use ziplocks as well. If the bag is searched by whoever is in power, it keeps things neat and lets whatever triggered the search be found easily. I've had to repack after a TSA search of my...

I had a frugal fail last night. I bought some pork carnitas a couple of weeks ago thinking that I would experiment with them in my Instant Pot. I didn't do anything with them and at the last minute...

Hi back. :)
