What My Blog is About

I came up with the title from the way I try to live my life. I never want to "keep up with the Joneses". This term actually came from a comic strip in the 1920's that was a parody of Americans domestic lifestyles. I try my best to be down to earth and straight forward about my philosophy of life. I will never be someone I'm not. This blog will mostly cover the food arena. Food is one of the few expenses that you can actually change and control.

I will cover topics like extreme budgeting, recreating meals with leftovers, how to cook items from scratch, freezing food and how to shop. I will also give you some resources to use and how to implement them into your life. This blog is intended for anyone needing to cut back on spending or just needing to reorganize their budget. So with that being said, I welcome singles, single moms and dads and families in all walks of life to join me. We all have much to share and learn from each other.
