“What am I missing?”
Not much, LOL!
* Day old bread stores are great. I can get a HUGE trash bag of bread and other goodies (Sara Lee brand, etc.) for $2. Of course, I need to sign a waiver that it’s strictly for animal feed only, but when the bread is only ONE DAY over its legal self-life and there’s room in the freezer... ;)
* Selling items on eBay and Amazon.com and a local website helps me. Haven’t used Craigs List yet, but others swear by it.
* Gleaning fields & wild food foraging. Hunting & fishing. There’s an amazing amount of food out there for the taking (with permission.) Heck, you can make a salad from things you find in your lawn if you really need to, LOL! I already have two Canada goose breasts in the freezer...and we’re only a week into the season. :)
A website would probably be the best venue for reaching women that think like we do. (You know; those of us worth our weight in ‘Rubies’ to our families.)
Someday! :)
I’ve planted raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, and blueberry bushes. Sure there’s the initial expense, but with the cost of those things in the store, I figure I’ll get my money back pretty soon, and it’s just in the backyard. No traveling for it.
I also make all my trips in one loop. I just plan it ahead and don’t have to waste gas running to the store for something I forgot.
