[@janiefoglewohlerspantryand2102]

Hi Owen

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I have a little more disposable income than I had for most of my adult life. We lived on a relatively tight budget. Not as tight as yours, but as my Dad use to tell people his daughters would make a penny scream before they let it go. My parents gave me money for Christmas and birthdays. I’d take half and put it in the bank savings and I’d keep half to spend over time for little luxuries I wanted or needed. I’d think long and hard about what I was going to spend that on. I can afford a little more now, but I still set limits and say this or that is too expensive. When you’ve been frugal for almost fifty years, you don’t just suddenly turn that off. We always had a policy that bills came first, and saving was viewed as much of a bill as any other bill we’d pay. Then if there was money left over, we’d spend it to do something fun. If not, we didn’t spend what we didn’t have.

[@jeannecrum9921]

Its hard to lose our parents. However your dad went to heaven praying . He's now with you mother again. Bless your family

[@joyful_tanya]

Dear Tessie, I am so very sorry about the loss of your dad so close on the heels of your mom’s passing. I am praying for you and your family especially during this difficult time. Much love and prayers

My clothes all come from the thrift stores including my shoes. I do have to spend a lot of money on bras bc I have to order them bc the stores don’t sell my size but I save in other places so I can afford to buy them. I do a lot of sewing and make a little money from that.

[@beaandmaddy6623]

Dearest Tessie....OMG, I just saw in the comments that your dad passed. My deepest and sincere sympathy to you and your family. He was probably sooo lonely and wanted to be with his wife now. He loved her to death and visited her every day for years. May you have the strength to get through this now. I remember in the video you made at the hospital he said to you "I love you too". Blessings and prayers. 😇💗

[@booknerdmomma0950]

I found mens long sleeve shirts at walmart on clearance for $1 and i bought all in my size. Love them especially in the winter to wear with sweat pants. Then my 14 yr old daughter stole them for sleepwear. I just steal my hubby's hoodies and long sleeve shirts now. 🤣

Oooh! I love that bedspread (quilt?)! Very pretty! Luckily for you, I have a sneaking suspicion that Walmart knew some women would be buying men’s sweats for whatever reason. I think that’s why they offer two shades of pink, which most men would not typically choose for themselves. 😉

When I was 21, my ex-husband abandoned me and our 2 year old. I lost everything (40 yrs ago). I worked as a secretary and made ends meet. I have never changed. I turn the water off when I brush my teeth!!!

[@KristalMack]

We are kindred spirits in so many ways. I also live in an older mobile home (my adorable haven) and drive economy cars until they die. Prepare budget meals, shop salvage grocery stores, make things last, mend clothing, etc. I'm a huge fan of recycling and/or up-cycling. Not much is wasted. Yet, I feel I live a RICH life...filled with abundance. The ability to be creative, resourceful and without heavy debt allows a person to breathe freely.

[@janicundiff4023]

Every Friday I go to my dads and cook him dinner - my mom died about four year’s and I started it right after. As I sit her in my coach havi big spent all night with dad and my 95 year old grandma who lives with my husband and I. Thinking of you in these tough times!

Tessie, I didn't realize until I started reading the comment section that you had lost your dad recently. I'm so sorry to read this. Many, many prayers for you and your whole family. 2020 certainly has been a really difficult year for you. Meanwhile, your frugality tips help all of us out here who are trying to make it on a very limited budget. (And when it comes to sweatshirts, I have a hunch that they're all made the same way and then the labels and stickers -- and price tags -- are added later, and somehow the men's end up costing less than then women's! How does that happen?)

[@karenredding9439]

Good morning sunshine, Tessie! Great tips! I know you don't can milk, but with the weather cooling your canned milk it would be ideal now to store milk. When I'm given more milk than we could possibly drink I can it. But I do recommend simmering your lids. I don't want boiled water in my jars so I sterilize mine in the oven over night at 225° for 25 minutes, turn off your oven and crack your oven door to cool jars. Next day you'll have cold sterilized jars. Note, I place my jars on a large backing sheet up right, that keeps them from condensation while cooling, and hinch, open cracked oven door to cool. Pressure can 10 minutes, turn off, open after pressure is down, or wait 45 minutes before opening your canner. . Process longer if you want evaporated tasting milk for 20 minutes. It doesn't matter about size of jars. The more fat in the milk the more head heavy cream on top you will have, don't throw away, use it on baked potatoes, white sauces, etc... When I can half and half I like to can in jelly jars because I will get that thick cream condensed on top, I put it into another small jelly jar, and I use it on bagels like cream cheese, or a baked potato. Have a blessed day. 🙏❤💕

[@elizabethleedy4386]

I am really looking forward to your long video! You know, Tessie, when my husband and I lived in the country, we hung our laundry outside when able, or inside our pantry room where we stretched clothesline. Our dryer had quit working, no money for it, so we just decided to not replace it. Saved on the electric bill! Then we moved to town after a car crash. Started to use a dryer again. But, this year, my husband and I decided to run a clothesline in our basement. We were doing a great deal of canning and dehydrating, so our electricity was going up. So, the clothes are drying, the dehumidifier is collecting the moisture, we keep the water from the dehumidifier to reuse for plants! A big difference in our bill! Thank you, Tessie, for all your talks!

My hubby and I run our vehicles “into the ground” (as we say) and then we sell it for scrap and go get another vehicle for cash. This saves on interest and insurance. We also chose more work-oriented vehicles over cars so we can use our vehicles for our lifestyle.
