I love this thread! I want your recipe for pork sausage. We have a local meat market that would grind pork for us. I usually cook a meatless soup on Saturdays and serve with cornbread or batterbread. Sunday after church we have the last bowl. During the week we eat oatmeal or grits for breakfast every day.We combine all trips in the car. I have days I "spend nothing." I cook as much from scratch that I can. I don't buy any snack foods. I buy all my new clothes from ebay, except underwear. I buy that from Wmt. I buy my dog food from Tractor Supply, their store brand is good food. We go to a vet that is discount and he gives us an extra 15% discount for having 3 dogs. I call all pharmacies before filling a prescription to determine the cheapest one. Sometimes the difference can be over $50.
