Survivor and Frugality

I absolutely love the TV show Survivor. No,  I don’t own a TV- I watch old episodes of the TV show online. I think there is something about the show that appeals to my frugal nature that draws me to it so much. A friend of mine once said that she’d want me in her […]

Semolina Porridge aka Homemade Cream of Wheat

The favorite porridge in the house of all though is semolina porridge, also known as cream of wheat. Where I live, this is an insanely cheap breakfast that is perfect for mornings where I don’t have the […]

Grocery Trip, November 16, 2010

My husband just got his paycheck, and that means we can breathe a little more easily now. Now that the money is coming in, however, I’ve decided to spend a large chunk of it investing in certain bulk foods, so money will once again be a drop tight until next month. (One of the things […]
