Here is something sweet and salty. All it takes is 3 ingredients and a Crock-Pot! They are called Crock-Pot Peanut Clusters. Need a dessert but low on money? These are totally frugal. https://eatingonadime.com/crockpot-peanut-clusters/

I am going to let you in on one of my jobs. I haven't done so yet as I don't want to spoon feed you but today I thought I might as well. I am a book reviewer for https://weekendnotes.com. However, they also accept articles on leisure activities. You get paid via PayPal. If you have any questions, just message me.

I have returned with a new laptop! How many months is this one going to last? Wish me luck!

Last week, while at the grocery store, I found 1/2 gallon Igloo coolers for $6.99. A convenient mouth piece and handy handle. The water stays cool all day! I use the cooler for sugar free lemonade. A total bargain!

I really do like my own homemade slaw sauce. We bought a jar of Marzetti slaw sauce and the stuff tasted nasty.

Hello! I have returned! I was away with a UTI and some other huge word. I was also stranded with only a cellular phone. Then, while in the hospital, my service ran out. My roommate had my debit card as I wanted to make sure that it was safe. Things are much better. I have another new laptop now so lets see how many months…

I know how you feel about not having any sort of service. I have no way of accessing myfitnesspal.com on my laptop. There are certain stores I have no access to. I can't get on LinkedIn. Very frustrating.

Today our landlord bought we gals lunch! I had a pizza sub. He is a really good guy. Tonight I need to accomplish online work. Have a good evening! :)

I own a one cup coffee maker. You can use either k-cups or coffee grounds. I use coffee grounds instead of fancy k-cups which saves me tons of money. I even buy my coffee grounds from dollar tree which saves me even more money!

Good job!

Crate of water Bag of bubble gum $5.20

3 heads of cabbage 2 jars of mayonnaise 2 jars of pickles 1 bag of sweet onion 6 boxes of water enhancer $28.00

Hello ladies! Today was not a good cooking day. My homemade Crock-Pot lasagna is usually really good. Today? Awful. I prepared the dish like always except we were out of ground beef. So, a vegetarian version. Now I know better and am going to only prepare when I have ground beef. I cannot buy a new laptop for a while. My…

Last week, diet Coke and diet Dr. Pepper were on sale. 3 12 pack each brand was $13.00. I bought cans instead of bottles to get more quantity.

Why not coleslaw with cut up pickles and buttermilk? A friend fixed some for me. I am addicted to the stuff!

You sure are busy!. I am still waiting for my bank to process my refund. Stinks as this is a weekend A few friends treated me to lunch and dinner today! My favorites were coleslaw with pickles and buttermilk, deviled eggs and macaroni salad! My kind of food when the weather is hot and humid. I was grateful.

I am so sorry for being so absent but my new ThinkPad had to be returned and I an waiting for the refund. Guess what? Now I need to buy yet another. I am relying on my cellular phone. What laptop should I buy?

My new laptop crashed. I am going to spare you the details. I was approved for a refund. Thank goodness. Our landlord bought we girls pizza for lunch. He spoils. For dinner, I just ate a peanut butter sandwich.

How do you manage to carry all of your shopping items on your bicycle? I need to create my food diary for the day. What should I consume? A friend gave me donated cans of black beans. I love black beans. But the cans do not have expiration dates on them. Should I still use the cans? Have a good day!

I have been consuming sandwiches every day! Cannot get much more frugal than that!

You are probably going to laugh. I was out on an errand this morning. I was hungry. My roommate gave me a bag of corn twisters cheddar for free. I was thankful.

Was your birthday the celebration? If so, happy birthday! May I have the wine and chocolate? LOL

My lunch today was for free! Tortilla chips won at bingo. Marzetti vegetable dip for dipping from roommate's sister. For dinner, I might have a Pick for 5 burger. At our local grocery stores, a Pick for 5 is certain foods, 5 items of them, $20.00 total. For example, you can choose a box of frozen onion rings, burgers,…

Hello! Yesterday evening, I was just so tired of reviewing cookbooks. So, instead of reviewing other people's recipes, I thought to myself to do recipe articles of my own! Right now I have about 13 recipes that were saved for future use and certainly came into use! Yay! Woo Hoo! Today, I cleaned and organized my bedroom…

English Muffins 101 The sky is the limit with English muffins! First? Toast them in the toaster first! I like my English muffins with jalapeno jelly. I spread butter or peanut butter on them when out of such jelly. You can even make mini pizzas with them! Spread a little sauce with shredded cheese, mushrooms, and pepperoni…

"Buckeyes" 1 pyrex pan 1 jar of peanut butter 1 container of chocolate icing Spread the bottom of pyrex with a layer of peanut butter. On top of that layer, spread chocolate icing. Place in freezer for a few hours. Then, place in fridge. Cut in squares before serving. A little something salty. A little something sweet.…

Speaking of Crock-Pots, I used him for Crock-Pot French Toast for dinner today. The recipe calls for day-old bread. Whenever I have a ton of day-old bread, I prepare the dish. Talk about saving money! Tomorrow, I am going to a barn sale. An annual yard sale at a huge barn. I was really hoping to find scrap fabric to create…

Our landlord treated we gals to lunch today... He is so kind.

I hope that all is good for you! Happy working!

How are the recipes? To your liking? I hope so! Have a good afternoon!
