For a year, I had my family try out new recipes.
These are only the winners. The recipes they loved and asked to have again.
So save these recipes to use in your Large Family Home over and over.
Wellll, it was time to call the propane man to come fill up our tank.
When you heat with propane, you can’t really put off a refill. No one wants an exploding tank in their backyard.
But I hated to call them, because this was the first year my propane company ever refused to lock me in on a price.
And I could only imagine how much this was gonna cost.
Sure enough, the price was over $4 per gallon. But I told them to fill it up. Because who knows how much higher it will be the next time I call them?
Finally the bill was totaled. And even though I knew it would be high, it was even worse than I expected. I’d never seen a four figure bill for propane before.
What if I told you that I have a pizza dough recipe that takes less time than ordering a pizza and waiting for delivery?
Oh, and it takes like 5 minutes of effort, too.
Sound too good to be true?
Well I’m here to tell you that I’ve been making this recipe for 15 years, and it is one of the few things in life that sounds good and actually IS true.
That’s right.
Oh, and it has no weird ingredients. Even in this economy, it’s a great frugal choice.
A year ago, I revealed that our family had just added on to our home, only to find out that we had major damage that had to be repaired on the old part of our home.
Because we had just scraped up a bunch of money to pay for as much of our home addition in cash as possible, we didn’t have extra money lying around.
And…well, I think you’ve probably noticed the economy. That money we had been saving from paychecks is now instead funneled into the gas tank, grocery stores, and heat bills.
So we had to come up with a new way to pull together some cash to pay for this repair.
Our family of 8 recently put a small home addition (on a budget) on our home.
It was a loooong process.
While we were going through this process, I definitely spent some time online, trying to find real world ideas to help us save money and know the next steps.
But it was really hard to find anything like that, so I decided to write it up myself.
