    I know there are threads on this. I am leaning towards it.Feed is so expensive. I don't even get eggs from my chickens,so they might as well work a bit for their food.Back in Hungary I recall the chickens got scraps like the dogs/cats,and whatever extra grain they might have.They were good...

If you are going to get rabbits for meat I read to get 2 does and a buck to start with.Maybe grow some crops that will feed your animals so you do not have to buy so much. Oh and first thing I...

    I am going to build some garden beds using landscape timbers. To much work keeping weeds out of my current beds. I am going to have rows of them,and each filled with a soil that has compost mixed in.Lawns are overrated.I will make each bed for 1 or 2 items instead of mixing all in one. Going...

    I always shop at goodwill type stores. I shave the boys hair instead of taking to the shop.Buy foods only when on sale.Even buy socks and undies that are a wee bit mis-shaped,so they are way cheaper. I was behind a lady at Target the other day who got a few cloths items that rang up over $100...
