AFter 9 days in a coma he woke up last night. I have just been through the worst days of my life thinking that I would never bring him home again. Tonight he is responding to asked questions and his eyes are open. I do not know what the future holds but it is much better than what we thought. Prayer is still needed if you think of us.<br /><br />Mabel Hastings-try Yellow Dock tincture for your anemia. Most have amazing results.

Not because I couldn't do it but it reminded me of when I was a single mom so many years ago with two teenage boys and only $15 or less a week for groceries. I worked two jobs and my ex tried everything he could to avoid child support for 6 years. I still remember cooking beans over night while trying to sleep but having to get up and stir them on and off and nap in between. If I didn't make everything from scratch there wasn't anything to eat the next day. Some days my jobs started early in the morning and ended at 11pm. Thank goodness a few years in my youngest learned to cook and that helped. He's a chef at a fancy restaurant now. I should have seen that coming. He is such a good shopper too. lol.

Thanks everyone for the ideas.<br />My question--- with this $20 budget..If you do this , do you use anything from your pantry/freezer stash? If so, I don't think, I would be fair, because I have a big pantry/freezer stash.. [We have a big garden in the summer, and I have lots of veggies,fruits in the freezer, I also stock pile on sale things for the pantry.. ]<br />I am just curious, if I am thinking right?? [slow grandma for sure.lol]<br /> <br />I could see where you could do this once a month or so, and really cut the grocery budget???Let me know , if I am not suppose to use pantry or freezer?<br /><br />Thank you Terri, You are fantastic, for doing all this research and sharing with us..Hugs, JudySew Blessed Maw [Judy]https://www.blogger.com/profile/15474519379303505290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-26058207692762773792017-01-05T08:34:21.848-05:002017-01-05T08:34:21.848-05:00Thanks for a fun challenge.

Perhaps some baking powder, so I could make biscuits and dumplings for chicken and dumplings. Maybe some butter to make cookies too. Oh and chocolate! :DKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710629007170091862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-4937755744660181162017-01-05T02:10:54.161-05:002017-01-05T02:10:54.161-05:00Winco and Sprouts markets have bulk spice and food...Winco and Sprouts markets have bulk spice and foods too. Also we have two local health food stores that sell lots of bulk spices and staples. Do you have any health food stores in your area you could call and ask? Ot ethic grocery stores? They might have things by the ounce you could buy too. Or some groceries have the spices cheap in cellophane bags instead of the name brands. Usually here they sell for for 98c each.<br /><br />Do you have any neighbors with fruit trees or bushes you could gleam from? Or barter? Just a thought.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone who have replied to your challenge. There are lots of hints we can all use. :) SarahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959918163454225829.post-47453566869128204162017-01-04T22:15:41.429-05:002017-01-04T22:15:41.429-05:00Hi Terri,

I'm surprised options for bulk purchases aren't available near you. Good to know. I don't buy everything they have to offer by any means, but it is a nice option for a lot of things.<br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
