How Bad Is It???

[BigFish]

Things are tight here! I am thankfully starting a new job working in the lumber dept. at Lowes the end of the month! That will help....plugs don't pay the bills here thats for sure! My wife has a great job and we are thankful for that! To help with the holidays she has taken a seasonal part time job at Crate and Barrel! (She loves that store) A mortgage, 2 car payments, my child support and all the other expenses......man its tight! We have cut cable somewhat! At the supermarket the other day I found a great way to save some money! They were selling cake/brownie mix for $1.00 each.....so I bought a bunch! Figure why buy all the pre-made crap that costs an arm and a leg when for $1.00, a couple eggs, some water and veg oil we can bake a cake that will last a few days or a bunch of brownies!!! Figure out how much a package of Chips Ahoy, Oreos, or Entenmans cake costs for a week???? Its silly when you think about it! Remember your Mom would always be baking when you were a kid?? Anyway.....its a killer out there so any way we can save a buck we are!
