They really need to harden the **** up.

Cooling ? HAH.

I live in the tropics - where it's routinely above 38C 24 hours a day - with 90% RH and a dew point that makes evaporative cooling impossible.

I only run a small AC in one room - and only when I'm working in there.

Never at night or as a whole house cooling system.

That'd be expensive as hell.

When I lived in a colder climate - no heaters. Rug up or suffer.

I pay circa $250 per quarter for electricity.

You can do it if you shop at Aldi's. I just go to the regular grocery store for things like greek yogurt and sale items that I have coupons for, and the rest of my shopping is done at Aldi's.

ETA: I do BJ's for certain things because I can get it in bulk, and I do it for rolls that last the month, I also do Walmart for certain things that I know are cheaper there and things that Aldi's doesn't sell.

ETA Again: I do BJ's the store for certain things LOL, not the other thing for certain things, that would be like prostitution.

I'm glad you cleared that up.  I was starting to wonder.   :whistling:

I'm all out of strong...

 Today my husband lost his job--downsizing. He'd been working for the company for over two years. He was out of work for a 1 1/2 before he found that job. It wiped us out, trying to stay a float during that time.

We have very little saved, because the job payed a lot less than he was making. We were barely making ends meet.

They worked the shit out of him...he worked every bit of 70 hours a week. A year ago October he had a heart attack. The heart attack happened on a Wednesday, he was back to work Monday.

I'm scared we're going to lose everything. I can't do this again. He heard me crying and said just be strong..it will be ok.

I don't have any strong left. I can't stop crying. There aren't any jobs out there. What are people like us supposed to do? He not only lost the job, but the health insurance too. He has a heart condition, meds he has to take.

I don't have anymore strong...


Stop whining and crying on a forum and get a job.  My S I L got one at.............WALMART. She loves it.

Beans and rice are cheap, chili is cheap, spaghetti is cheap, jambalaya is cheap, beef and potato or chicken and potato stew is cheap, gumbo is cheap.  Buy whole chickens, learn to cut them up or have them cut. Bake it whole with a side of potatoes and corn.  Frozen corn on the cob is cheap.  Meatloaf is cheap.

That's 9 cheap easy meals right there, pretty much dirt cheap.  Cake mix is a dollar, frosting @$1.29.  You're not starting out with nothing, you must have staples, bake some cookies.  Oatmeal and peanut butter cookies are very cheap to make.  Plus you can make a grip of cookies in under an hour.

It's not hard.  You have to want to do it.

 

Had a good, healthy (more or less), quick meal last night: 

Three packs of Ramen (noodles only) - $1.37
Small pork loin cut into chunks and pan fried in veggie oil - $6.99
10 Ears of corn that I picked, blanched, and froze - $2.50

Total for a meal that fed 7 people (4 adults, 3 children) = $10.86

The Ramen was boiled then put into a pan with the cooked pork loin (pork loin was dipped in honey and cooked sesame seeds), add some water and soy sauce, heat in the pan, serve.

It isn't hard, DUmbasses, and I manage to do this and pay for your steak and Cheetos with my tax dollars.  Believe me when I tell you that my family's menu and your EBT excesses are a major factor every time I head into the voting booth.
