Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Saving on Homeowner's Insurance. We woke up this morning to find that the wind had done some damage in our neighborhood overnight! Here's what we found in our yard:. The backside of our upside-down shed. Where our shed was, before it got blown across the yard. The front side of our upside-down shed. Here's our neighbor's yard:. The backside of our neighbor's upside-down shed. The front side of the neighbor's upside-down shed. 1 Fix things ourselves and don't file a claim.

Budgeting with the Bushmans: Easy DIY Compost Bin
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/04/easy-diy-compost-bin.html
Monday, April 2, 2012. Easy DIY Compost Bin. I have composted for many years, but I admit that I haven't paid attention to my compost like I should. Sometimes I've had good compost that I could put in my garden and sometimes I've just had sludge. Step 1. Get a container. If you are buying a new one, you should make sure it is BPA free. (For mine, I used one we already had.). Step 2. Drill holes all over it, but not in the lid. A rare look at me in action. Drilling holes in the side. I set mine right outs...

Budgeting with the Bushmans: August 2012
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 7, 2012. Next month I would have been blogging for one year. Its been so great sharing this first year of extreme frugality with you. I'm been so overwhelmed by how many people have chosen to read my blog. I never thought it would be so popular. Mostly, I just thought my mom would read it. :). I'm so pleased with this decision we've made and I can't say enough good things about Lenon Honor and his wife and the consultations. Is an ebook by Ayida Honor (she makes up half of the counseling ...

Budgeting with the Bushmans: Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye Review
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/07/kiss-your-dentist-goodbye-review.html
Wednesday, July 11, 2012. Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye Review. In researching fluoride, I came across Dr. Ellie's website. She explained the differences between natural occurring fluoride and synthetic fluoride (the kind that is a byproduct of pesticides). I had never understood that about fluoride before and so I continued to read her website, hoping to learn more. Dr Ellie immediately wrote me back and said the book was on its way. When I received her package, I couldn't believe it! I'll definitely contin...

Budgeting with the Bushmans: Homemade Dishwasher Detergent
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/06/homemade-dishwasher-detergent.html
Monday, June 11, 2012. I'll be honest with you: Storebought dishwasher detergent works best. In fact, my favorite kind is Seventh Generation. Both their powder and liquid are exceptional. However, I am too cheap to buy them. So, I make my own. I've tried A LOT of homemade dishwasher detergent recipes and most of them stink. Here's the best one I know of:. 1/4 cup Castile soap. 1 tsp lemon juice. Put in a container and shake. This recipe will not clump like Borax-based recipes! Photo credit: Jeremy Zawodny.

Budgeting with the Bushmans: How to Make Peanut Sauce
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-make-peanut-sauce.html
Thursday, June 7, 2012. How to Make Peanut Sauce. My friend introduced me to peanut sauce and I am in love! Its very easy to make and is full of healthy ingredients. I like to eat it in the following ways. As a veggie dip, especially for carrots and celery. As a spring roll dip. As a stir fry sauce. On sandwiches, pita bread or crackers. I've only been eating it for about a month so I'm sure there are many other ways to enjoy it. In fact, I've yet to have it on anything that I didn't enjoy! Where can I g...

Budgeting with the Bushmans: Homemade toothpaste revisited
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/02/homemade-toothpaste-revisited.html
Sunday, February 12, 2012. One reason I love having this blog is that I often learn as much my readers as they are likely to learn from me. When I talked about making my own homemade toothpaste. Someone suggested adding coconut oil to it to make it more paste-like. Since my kids didn't love my homemade toothpaste and longed for something more paste-like, I decided to give this reader advice a try. Baking soda, peppermint oil and coconut oil. Trust me, this is much more paste-like. February 4, 2013 at 6:4...

http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/06/possum-living-book-review.html
Sunday, June 17, 2012. Possum Living Book Review. Several people had recommended a book to me called Possum Living: How to Live Well Without a Job and with (Almost) No Money. In reading Dolly's book, I had the experience that many of my readers may have had when they first came across my blog: "How can they live on so little? If you thought I was extreme, you won't believe some of Dolly's advice! Here are my favorite quotes from the book and good examples of Dolly's way of thinking:. Respect, virtually a...

Budgeting with the Bushmans: How to Make Almond Milk
http://budgetingwiththebushmans.blogspot.com/2012/06/how-to-make-almond-milk.html
Thursday, June 14, 2012. How to Make Almond Milk. Almond milk is very easy to make. Since we buy our almonds in bulk, it is also fairly cost effective. To make my almond milk go further, I sometimes mix it in a 1:1 ratio with banana milk. This makes for a winning combination! Here's what you'll need to make almond milk:. The night before, put 1 cups of almonds into a pitcher with 4 cups of water. Let it soak overnight in the fridge. That's all there is to it! Don't let that almond pulp go to waste! Depen...
