I made yogurt and cheese and butter, raised my own fruits and vegetables. My children are all grown up and they say, my mother can go to the pantry and take out some food and make a deliscious meal.
My first craft boutique, I made 700.00. this was jewelry, cards, childrens aprons, everything I could think of.
I was raising 6 children alone and going to ccollege full time. I had 10.00 to last us one week in them . I went to the dented can store and bought 7 boxes of mac and cheese, and a can or two of corn. I gave plasma to get enough gas for the car to get to school. Yes, I qualified for wIC and I breast fed my twins, I used cloth diapers for my twins. I told my older kids they couldn't complain I fed them what I had. My shoes wore out and I put cardboard in them. I love you so much. The information you are giving out is exactly what my mother taught me. She would not let us date until we could make a dress, can fruit and vegetables, etc.
One of my biggest inspirations towards frugal living in general is Ingvar Kamprad of IKEA (the founder and CEO). The guy was the definition of frugal. For the most part, he would take coach on all his flights, drive a volvo (from the 80s) save sauce packets and salt packets, he would buy used clothing and everything for a great price. He had a couple of fancy things, but not a lot and that was later on. He was worth 80 billioin when he died. And that was just selling furniture. Imagine him selling tech. I love frugal hacks. This video is a perfect example.
Plasma donations help those in need. Not just a way of making money. I have a family member with myasthenia gravis that used to have to get plasma transfusions. Thankful for people that donate plasma.
Reader's digest book "Homemade" has a recipe for savory meat mix that stretches 2 1/2 lbs ground beef into four pints of meat mix to be used in chili and a hamburger helper knock off meal.
I too have building stories. I love learning how the Lord walked others through their journeys. It was a big deal when I discovered the savings of going from reheating refried canned beans to figuring out how to cook starting with dry beans to soak over night and slow cook through the day, was the beginning of my journey transition. To a few years down the road learning about programs that helped you build a home by sweat equity with no money to put down. I am still in that home 26 years later. To homeschooling with little to no budget, the Lord commonly prompted me with the question “What do you have in your hands?” Which carried me a long way.and He blessed as I prayerfully walked out my journey 💕
Before C-19, I could coupon and get so many items free or I was paid to take them home. Some folks still do that, like Saving with Sha (YouTuber). Originally I followed bloggers and now vloggers. They match coupons and rebate apps to sale items. I still get thing free or for a $1 of less and occasionally get moneymaker deals. But I’m in a retired season of my life and need very little. But I still help family save.
Never had a lot of money but couponing gave me a way to donate. In my mid 40s to 60, I donated many thousands of dollars to food banks, shelters (people and animals) and troops overseas. It was very fulfilling. If I knew someone was going thru a difficult season of their life, I would make a couple of large bags of things to help them through. It allowed be to build a years stockpile of food, household goods and personal hygiene supplies. Thanks to all those bloggers and vloggers who share their knowledge and experience.
One thing that’s good about donating plasma is it is income tax and SS free money. Not a lot of that allowed legally.
Inflation, I’m a single guy. All about saving money and budgeting now.
We've been married for over 40yrs..and I didn't know how to cook rice ether..lol..we were very poor and we had 5 kids, my beautiful mexican neighbors helped me to learn how to cook dry rice, beans..i was raised by a single mom 😊im so grateful 🙏
My advice for people who can't seem to put enough food on the table is to focus on the cheap staples first. Rice, Potato and pancakes are very cheap. When you don't have enough not being hungry is the first priority. Next consider any way you can legally get more money, a side hussle or a marketable skill or something. Then finally consider healthy food. You can also get free wild edibles like dandelion, broadleaf plantain, wood sorrel, most types of clover, Queen Anne's lace, wild sunflower, crab apples, blueberries, etc.
I came across this video today and I found it very helpful so I decided to subscribe I’m looking forward to future videos
I bet you helped so many people without knowing who by donating plasma ❤🙏
