    Savingdogs-Saving the chickens

    WOW SD, so sorry about your chickens :hugs Some of the feather loss may be due to the stress & it may be awhile before you get eggs again. I know with mine, they can get 'stressed' over even minor stuff & it's like they 'plug it up' for a few days. :rant Once they calm down & think it's safe...

    Stock up alert!

    I've often wondered if it would come to that again. My Ma & Auntie would talk of rationing & stamps & such when they were kids & not just for personal use stuff, but things like rubber too 'for the war effort' because everything went to the military first & the people got whatever was left, if...

    Stock up alert!

    I heard this morning on the news about a coffee bean shortage. Did anyone else hear this? The story mentioned weather as being the culprit. If this is true you can expect the prices to skyrocket over the next few months. About a year or so ago I was paying somewhere around $5-$6 per 39oz can and...

    Food waste

    I try to save nearly all leftovers for a day or two, depending on what it is & how much there is left. We do try to 'repurpose' leftovers atleast once and/or will have an 'eat out of the fridge' night when nobody feels like cooking. Sometimes it goes straight to the chickens. There will always...

    We bought one!! Bread machine

    You're gonna love having this appliance. I'm not familiar with that brand, but I will say the possibilities are endless and once you get the hang of it, you'll enjoy experimenting with new recipes. I have an older Oster & the book has tons of recipes for the machine. I have to admit I've only...

I can't find anything about it on NPR website to validate this info, so I dunno. BUT if this is happening...

    We don't own any stock at the moment & don't have any future plans in that area(atleast not directly)...it's just not something we're interested in at the moment. Though I think it's great that others like yourself do. I figure that our purchasing dollar is our way of supporting certain...
