I didn't think it was possible, I have always considered myself to be frugal. I come from the school of the grandmother's who raised children during the depression, and lived by ''Use it up, wear it out, make do, or do without''...

Marie Coyle @sallypup I've not ever used it for cookies except for oatmeal cookies. Just meatloaf and bean burgers. But it sounds good! I love plain old fashioned oatmeal, cooked on the stove top.

Marie Coyle It sounds like you have mastered a lot of frugal ways. I agree, having pantry staples helps so, so much to pull a meal together. Yes, I know there are many convenience foods out there, and some of them look good. But for what you pay vs. what you actually get,...

Marie Coyle @jstory07 I wish they would build some more. It encourages sharing, and reading as well.

Marie Coyle @dfollin I am of the personal opinion that all of us need to tighten our belts. I am no doomsday prepper by any means, but I hope most of us have at least a little food and goods put back for what could be a hard time for us all.

Marie Coyle You do cook quite a bit, and seem sensible...I am sure you are frugal. It's hard to work two jobs, I did it for quite some time. It can be truly exhausting.

Marie Coyle @lilacskies l've always just considered it normal for me. Quitting is not an option, nor is giving up. If I ever give up, it will be because my body failed me somehow.

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (42481) • United States 20h

I tell you what, bud, I could operate one better than the one in our town. We were so excited last year to get an urgent/quick care in the closest town, ten miles from us. But whoever owns it has no clue how to run it. A while...

Marie Coyle I try to cover it all but I am always looking for other ways to save. It sounds like you do the same. I don't like to be wasteful anyway, so it's not that hard.

Marie Coyle We love lentil soup, too. I cook one of those big, big bags of chicken sometimes, or two whole chickens at once. First meal, baked chicken. Then I pick all the mean off of all the pieces. I bag that up in Ziplocs to make meals out of. Then I put all the...

Marie Coyle @sallypup I use oatmeal in mine, too. I also put oatmeal in my meatloaf for a binder, I like it better than bread or crackers.

Marie Coyle My table is about 75-80 years old. It was my Dad's, before that it was his mother's. It's perfect and cute and I don't care if it's not in style. I love it anyway, and it's beautiful. In the last 20 years I have received 3 pieces of furniture to replace items...
