    Hi,
    I'm Jinty and I too have been lurking on this forum for a long time and enjoy reading about the lives of other especially the regular posters who make me laugh in these hard times.

    I am married with two grown up children plus have 6 wonderful grandchildren. I am fortunate to be gainfully employed at this time and enjoy all the being OS and using the ideas and recipes willing shared by the contributors,so Thanks
    :D

    Hi :wave: I'm 28 and work full time. I've mainly used the DFW area of the site, but I need a lot of OS knowledge :o I can follow recipes, but I struggle to plan meals or menus. When I go food shopping I pick out what I fancy and pretty much have to shop whenever I want to cook. Taking a basketful of food and turning it into 3/4 days worth of meals is like wizardry to me :eek: Flash wipes are my best friends and I've never heard of Stardrops :eek:

    Looking forward to learning how to be OS! :D
    Impending doom! :eek:

    Hi everyone, I was a regular sometime ago but not posted for ages. Basically my marriage broke down and now at the age of 46 find myself starting a new life.

    OS and money saving more important than ever now so I look forward to all the tips and ideas you ladies give.

    My name is Karen by the way:hello::hello:

I am very frugal these days and love a bargain! Be it food shopping or clothes shopping, or for everyday things!!!


    Its good to be here and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and learning from you all!

    Hello, also a lurker coming out of the shadows!
    I'm used to living frugally and we're trying to reach that self-sufficiency dream.
    'We' are myself, husband and 4 year old son, 2 dogs, 18 cats, 3 hens, 2 mice and 2 goldfish.
    If it wasn't for the zoo we'd probably be a lot better off money wise but we love them and the house would be too quiet without them all!
