Thrift and making do
I figure this is a good time to start a thread like this!
Let's do tips on saving and making do with what we have.
I know I have a LOT to contribute and everyone else has tips that they have lived by for years even when times aren't hard.
Right off the bat:
I take my own coffee to work. I hear folks at work complaining about how they can't afford their Starbucks double mocha choking lattes at $5.00 a whack! I buy 26 oz. bags of coffee at 2.99 a bag at the discount store and flavor the coffee with cocoa or cinnamon or whatever I have when I want flavored coffee.
I get my milk and cream from a dairy farm down the road right out of the steel tank for 2.00 a gallon. I recycle gallon sized glass pickle jars for the milk and the cream floats to the top like it's supposed to! I just scoop off the cream and put it in a smaller jar. Voila! Low fat milk for drinking and cream to use for coffee or baking or whatever.

I have this mental picture in my mind of you all, shaking bones and bells and charms, muttering prayers and voodoo curses, dancing around in a circle of salt, with leetle glasses and tiny bottles of cheer in the middle...myyyyyy friends!
