This is so true....I save tons of money by staying home. I used to go to town almost daily and buy things from the Dollar store and such....but I have found this website called alice.com and you can have things shipped right to your door for free. You have to have an order of at least 6 items...

Yes, I agree, and the smell of that fresh bread baking is wonderful... now I'm thinking about making some cinnamon raisin bread too.... That's a great savings over a years time and not to mention how much better the homemade stuff is for you....

Today I am making bread from scratch instead of buying loaf bread from the store. I would like to get back on track again in making all of our bread. Especially after reading about what's in the store bought loaf bread. There is so many things that I can't pronounce it's scary...So many...

I totally agree... some people just do not appreciate...and you would think the lady that handed you the jar would have at least said Thank you! Oh, wow..... that's why I have very few that I give anything like this to. Same concept goes for quilting. I love to make quilts and give but in my...

This past summer I made several pints of "Red Clover Jelly" and it was really good. It tastes like honey and I thought next year I will make lots more of it because I substitute it for honey when sweetening my tea and does a great job. I also made some great tasting "honeysuckle Jelly" and some...

I have made it with the roasted carcases after a meal and added onions, celery and carrots and boiled for a long time and it seems to have a better flavor than the ones I boiled just raw.. and Yes, I have boiled the feet and made broth with it and it was good too. I thought about canning a jar...

I have about 6 or 7 roosters that will be killed shortly so I imagine I will be canning chicken broth and chicken as well... I love canned chicken.... ;)

Isn't that a shame..lol.. some of our friends and family just don't know what they're missing do they? I think the homemade gift exchange would be a good idea , like you said we do know how to appreciate a homemade gift . :D

So did anyone ever can brisket?

Thanks for the info freemotion. That sounds like a good plan.

Oh, Wow....sounds great. I'll have to check it out...

I usually give my jams and jellies at Christmas too but I didn't give much away this past year because of the past experiences with my family.... They don't seem to appreciate receiving a homemade gift such as canned goods...I don't understand why but... I don't feel that I should give to those...

No, I've never heard of it. But I love just keeping the cream off the top of the milk to put in my coffee.....it's just heaven.. So what do you do with the clotted cream and how do you make it?

I have raw milk and it's great of course...lol... but what I really love with homemade jam is the homemade butter and a big loaf of homemade bread.....Yummmmmmmmmmm....;)

This sounds great! I have canned dry beans by soaking them overnight in water and then just add them to the jars and pour hot boiling water over them. They turned out okay but needed to be cooked just bit after opening to get the juice thicker and the beans softer. Next time I will try cooking...

We got rid of direct tv and cut that bill out which helped a lot. We also got rid of our contract cell phones and got a pay as you go phone for emergencies only. We can't however get rid of internet or our house phone because it is for our business. Yes, you can make your biscuits on the wood...

Yes, I forgot to mention that making your own dishwasher detergent and washing detergent saves a lot too. I make my own and have been making it for years now. I also dry some of my laundry by the wood stove. I have a small clothes drying rack and I have made me a clothes line in my kitchen...

I know having money troubles is a terrible thing. I would suggest cutting back on everything you possibly can. The things that we do to save is we cut back on our electricity by heating our dish water, water for our washer on our wood stove and we also do most of our cooking on our wood stove...

I have used them to pack baked goods in and send them to my friends for Christmas, Birthday's etc. I decorate the outside with pretty paper and stickers. I love oatmeal containers.

I was wondering the same thing. Let me know how yours turns out if you try it. Thanks Kim
