Frugal living

Frugal living is the name of the game. I have been poor just about 53 years. I forgot to mention I turned 53 in Sept. How do you like that? I have been living with one struggle after another to be honest. But the struggle of life is real to me. I learned long ago that stressing the little things won't change anything.

A few days ago I drove over an hour to Walmart. I took a chance one resetting my GPS and jumped on the parkway. I made it but good grief was I scared not passing a gas station for some time. I finally reached super Walmart with a big fat smile on my face. I had to take a break for a few mins to ease my mind. I also needed to rest my watery eyes. I was over the moon excited to have made that long drive.

You might be wondering how anyone would take that ride to Walmart. Well, wonder no more because Shays_creations will be making that drive again soon. I live on Social Security which is roughly $861 a month. it is January 10th and my account is $0.00 I live on the mercy of a hustle and grind. You got that right I am no stranger to surveys or online coupons.

I am not at all shame to share a tip or two on frugal ways of living your best life. If I shop where I live which is in Westchester county. I can't eat for the month unless I really give up on just about all meat option. You want a package of chicken wings. Pull out $23 you can have it. I can't deny I love chicken wings more than anything.

I never found $23 chicken wings here in my area worth buying without driving. I forgot to mention I can step outside my front door to see many stores. I don't have to walk more than three corners to reach the shopping center. Do I even recall the last time I shopped on it? Nope not a chance. They are way over the margin for retail. The truth of the matter is they have no options. The insurance here and rents are outstanding.

The other day at Walmart I nearly lost it. The amount of savings little by little was unreal. Now let me say the last time I went the corn was .50 a can. The time just this week it was .58 a can. Oh, let that not be an issue. $1.25 is the best I can find here around my home. I bet you know I have about 6 cases. I love beyond anything some corn. Don't get my mother started you will laugh a lot.

I am not a huge fan of cereal but when I do want a box or 6 I like the prices at this store. Now there is another location but let us stay on our grind with Walmart. I was able to get some of those natural juices which are mango flavored, pina colada and oh no your not going to pass up the huge bottle either.

I spend about $20 in gas driving to walmart. I need two shopping carts to get all my goods. Here in my town I can carry about three bags home and that is a crying out loud shame. I have been poor far too long to whine and cry. But I can promise you I won't ever give up my frugal living. This morning I made walmart version of spam and you know a lady was happy.

I bought 6 cans because at $1.98 I would be a straight fool not to. I can survive a lot longer getting crafty with that. It is how the hustle and grind is.
