Home: Woodford, WI
 

Family's Names and Ages:

Occupation:
Stay at home mom.
Before I was a waitress.

If I had a day to myself...:
Clean the house and get things in order. Read some magazines. Go grocery shopping

Money Saving Tips:
You don't have to buy brand names.  If you have credit card debt that you are trying to get rid of...keep using the balance transfers to 0%APR for a year cards until you have it paid off.

Bargain Hunting Strategies:
Wal-mart.  Try to do double coupons.  I did it with Pilsbury brownie mixes. I ended getting three boxes that equaled out to about $0.62 a box.

Products we can't live without:
Milk: we go through 6 gallons a week.
Microsoft Office to keep track of bills.

In the Kitchen:

BBQ Ribs
1 slab of ribs.
1 cup ketchup
1 shake of Worchesershire sauce
1 16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce
salt and pepper.
mix together and dump on top of ribs in a crock pot.
turn on low for 7 hours. tender as can be.
