Thanks, Lisa, I try to save money where ever I can. I guess my parents taught me well about that. Since they had 4 daughters. I'm the oldest. They some how always managed to give us all we needed. Even when Dad was laid off in the winter a lot of times. Now I manage to take care of my kids and save money enough that it is just hubby working and our kids have all they need. I know how you feel I tried looking for a part time job, but never really have found much when looking. Also, I figure I have plenty of time to work, so oh well, just a little less money coming in, no biggie. Lisa sorry to hear money is so tight. I know you can make it work though. From one mother to another we always take care of our kids even if we have little ourselves. I think I can spot a good deal a mile away. I am a creative type and always using my brain to make and create things or save money where I can. I try to repurpose things too. Like for instance I repurposed my old spinning spice rack with jars for storing beads and small crafting items. It works great and didn't have to buy a spinning craft caddy to store those items in. I reusing small plastic boxes for many things, the kind they sell cheap at the store for kids to use for back to school. Also to organize my towels in my guest bathroom I bought a sweater box and put towels in it so you can always find a towel and it is separate from my other things under the bathroom sink. It works great, could even buy one more and put in there. The sweater box was only $2.50. Not bad to organize the towels in that bathroom. Also if the sink every leaks the towels won't get soaked either. I once reused a key ring holder to hold kitchen utensils and also have used a an old mug rack to hold my daughter's necklaces. They work great for that. I think if you keep your eye out you can reuse or repurpose almost anything.
