pay day

Today Scott got paid however we can't really touch any of the money. However there was a few things our family needed to get. Purchased a 18 pack of hand soap at Walmart for 2 bucks now with that me and my daughter used two bars and made a gallon of liquid soap that can be used as hand soap shampoo or to wash dishes. here is the link for the YouTube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-DKT6w3AdQ we headed for the food-bank today now we are not ashamed to say it or use it. we went years not using it when we could we donated. we received pasta sauce veggies fruit bread canned item all together around 250 to 300 worth of food there is enough to feed my family with what i have for a month. of course mixing in what i have on hand and trading with friends for dinner we are having chicken drumsticks that i bought on sale last week of course they were in the freezer. roasted potatoes with carrots mix with oil salt pepper and what ever other spices your family likes and has. put in 350 oven for an hour. drum sticks the same but no oil. my ex gave me a winter squash i cut in half salt pepper and butter 350 in oven for one hour cooking all at the same time saves me time and money on hydro. i will use that for dinner tomorrow. that post will be on tomorrow.
