What a wonderful thing. I discovered the site "vegetarian on the cheap" full of good recipes but even more dedicated to living frugally which is what I must do now. while I know how to live frugally I have not been focused nor committed to actually living frugally as a way of life in fact I have been cooking Martha Stewart like on my pensioner's budget.
What is so thrilling to me is that this comes at the end of Mars retrograde through Leo ending at the very base of my chart-I have come up with something creative to address the problem of not having money to stretch all month. I used to know how to do this the making menus and bulk shopping but over the years I "forgot". I gave up housekeeping to become the bread-winner and frankly I was too tired to maintain that well run cupboard.
We were spending sooo much money running every other day to the supermarket down the hill to get the ingredients for what we were wanting to cook/eat that day and of course picking up items we never intended to buy and by the end of the third week we are totally out money and the cupboard is getting bare. Time to change and here it is and I am full of gratitude today and I am visioning an entire new way of life here. Forget the Martha Stewart/Gourmet way of life. I have never "had money"but I sure wanted money and a glossy life although of course no one has a glossy life not even those who can afford the best organic produce in the land.
