Our butter has never been less than $2.69 and eggs 79c. Aldi still has the lowest prices though .unless you get the butter at Costco.<br />When I was walking back to the garden section at our Walmart I noticed they had the 4th of July colored ribbon on $1 spools. they usually have them special purchased for different holidays at $1 for 3 yards. Check if you need holiday color...ask if you do not see them displayed.<br />I have a few homemaking books but wish I could find more. They are so interesting and fun to study. Thanks for sharing yours ,.. also your routines. I have always been fascinated by the many ways to do routines. <br />I didn't know that the mosquito dunkers could be found to not hurt animals. Good to know. I save the water off our roofs but noted a greenish golden ring around the clean trash cans when filled with this water. I learned it is the oil from the asbestos in our roof shingles. I was told that it would take so many thousands of gallons of rain water to wash the roof before the water should be used. What! No one says a thing kept to catch the water and use it. Avoiding standing water to guard against mosquitoes. and keep lid on. I used the water on our veggie garden before but now use the roof water only on flowers. Even a tin roof gets dirty but would have no oils. Ya never know... The Govenor says we are out of the drought even though a month before we were told it would take another year of the extra rains like we had this year to do that. We are still to conserve. That is good to do no matter what I think. <br />How do you remember each and every thing {well some at least! :)} of the things you do each day to write them for us ?? :-)))) Sometimes I wish I had such a good list. when Hubby asks "What did you do today?" I could get the list out and show him!!! :-)))))))) Sarah :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-35749418653428619122017-04-14T16:19:08.896-04:002017-04-14T16:19:08.896-04:00My big money saving accomplishment was canning 12 ...My big money saving accomplishment was canning 12 jars of pintos and 6 of great northern beans.
