I have not used an electric mixer for years. For bread, I knead by hand. For cookie dough, I use a strong spoon. For mashed potatoes, I use a hand masher.
I like using my muscles vs. electricity....

Rosemary--I can't find the link to the pattern for the shopping bags, can you repost it? I would really like to have it.
April has not been a frugal month at the Fawn household, due to visiting...
Well, she does this in Springfield, IL. We do have some some awesome thrift shops here.
Maybe she does hold onto her most favorite finds, I don't know. I met her while caring for a dying relative...
I met a woman today who shops at Goodwill four times year. She looks FABULOUS always. She matches, she always wears clothes that fit. Here is her secret: she buys this season's clothes at Goodwill...
bke--that's great news about the possible scholarship. Can't start too soon looking for college money.
Now that we are back from our expensive (but budgeted for) college tour, it's time to get...
citrine- what is you body wash recipe?
I agree that is a lot of $ for dirt. I'm sure there are cheaper options if you have the time to investigate. You do compost, right?
I just want to point out, for the ladies that feel brave enough, that they also can cut their own hair. There are plenty of U-Tube videos on how to do so. I figure I have saved $800 since I last...
Well, DS#2 and I are traversing the country this week looking at colleges. It's NOT a frugal week, with the hotels, gas, eating out, etc. But some frugals have been possible:
~ snacks packed in the...
Well, I do think that there is a lot of evidence (not proof, just evidence) of survival of consciousness after the death of the body. NDE, psychics, other mystical experiences.
It makes sense to...
Start in your closet. Is there a dress there that could be accessorized with a cool scarf or dressy jacket or shawl? What time of year is the wedding? Inside or outside? Formal or informal? All those...
I also am large-chested, so I know what you mean about knit tops working best. My new favorite dress outfit is a black sheath that I had altered to fit the disproportionate top/bottom thing and I...
I like looking at other peoples combinations. I have less than 33 items myself, but I tend to wear them in the same combinations. Amaranth- do you do the 333 project?
MAybe I will get real...
dogmom- I do something similar with the wrapping paper. When the kids were little, it was brown paper and cloth ribbons (somehow, I am a magnet for cloth ribbon.) Now, I use silver paper and cloth...
Jane, with all your cool jewelry, you could wear a potato sack and look like a fashionista. :cool:
I tend to do Lowest Common Denominator cooking, i.e. fix things that the pickiest eater in the house will enjoy, so we have a limited range here. Here are some of our common main dishes. The sides...
If you use them, they are not clutter. ;)
Wow, Kat! I am really impressed with how well you are doing with this challenge.
Jane, thanks for that link. I really like the look of that esthetic. Too bad it won't work on my body type.
Well, at least you know if you stock up, they won't decay. :~)
We got 18.5", a record for us this time of year. DD and I shoveled the drive and by 9am things were starting to melt.
Kids went to the park for a mega snowball fight and built a luge for the sleds...
try2befrugal--you always do an awesome jobs with the frugals! Side question, do you have a lot stockpiled, of the free and frugal stuff you get?
I give you permission to get rid of all clothing that would be appropriate for a HSSJ. !thumbsup!
I love these kinds of thread too!
I would like to make sure the kid's college education is paid for, AND THEN retire from nursing and travel the country tent camping for a year or two, writing a...
They are predicting 8-10" here. I am home, with a mostly full pantry. Kids are out sledding down a favorite hill a few miles form here.
I just hope nobody asks for hot chocolate. After the (eeww)...
Ha Ha Ha. This is me. And then I start removing furniture from the house cause it feels "too cluttered." And then I offer to help my kids "cull" the toys they no longer play with. And when my mom...
