Dominos has some pretty good deals if you order online or in their app. You can earn points for free food. Our family rule is that we don't eat out unless there is a coupon or you get something free in the app. I love that Taco Bell fill-up box you mentioned. That is enough calories for one day if you get the right items. You can save some for a later meal.

I can taste those veggies and fruits! We use pots exclusively now due to varmints and bad knees. We have a yellow harvest apple tree, rhubarb and black and red raspberries. Containers grow chives, onions, spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes and probably a couple other things my husband is trying for fun. Happy gardening.

The house does not look sparse to me. It looks smart and uncluttered. I would feel very comfortable there. I do wonder though about all those canned goods. Is it stock for a food pantry?
@spendwisemomsАй бұрын
Thanks for your positive feedback. I try to keep at least 3 months of food around. It is nice because I can usually pay the price I want and it is there if there weather is bad or I don't want to go to the store. If I want to use my grocery money for sales or something special like a spiral ham or a turkey, I have enough food to get us through the week on hand, so I can do that. It sure was wonderful to have when Covid hit and I didn't have to worry about going to the store and fighting the crowds.

When you said, "What's ALLOWED in my home," I was really struck. I have been taking my collection of vintage stuff to the Habitat for Humanity thrift shop and feel good about it. Stuff I bought inexpensively back in the '90's. So I guess I "rented" it for a while. Benefits both me and Habitat.

7 y ago i came back to live with my widowed mum in the big home, with my hubby and child. The process to get rid of my father's tools and stuff (metal stuff, car parts and so on) was already ongoing outside the house. But my mum kept lots and lots of old stuff in the house. Her words always was "you can change what you want when i'll be dead'. But i was very overwelmed. now my mom is 87, weelchair and incapable. I decided to not wait any longher. I'm almost 50 now, if i wait i will not have the energy to do the death cleaning! the life was already full. So, deathcleaning it is.
