Oklahoma isn't known for skiing but usually we get snow and hook up sleds to 4-wheelers. Not even a flake this winter! ;(<br /><br />But way to go on the no shopping challenge. I have had to go but I was able to keep it very low. No fresh free eggs available to us but we are planning on changing that soon hopefully! <br /><br />I love the blog. I gave you a shout out in a recent pantry challenge post.Zimms Zoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671798321373854716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-27091427958331934902012-02-03T08:44:45.477-06:002012-02-03T08:44:45.477-06:00If you have any ground flax seed can be used inste...If you have any ground flax seed can be used instead of eggs in baking. <br /><br />Maybe you can barter for salt? A neighbor or someone may have some. The Ingalls were good at bartering.<br /><br />Our broom stick broke and I found out my mop stick fits so I can use one stick for both. <br /><br />I love trying to fix stuff or give something old new life.<br /><br />I also am trying to limit my garbage to one can a week and my recycables to one small can a month. This starts with buying less, and finding ways to keep things out of garbage.<br />I compost all food stuff to keep that out of garbage. I cut up stained and torn too small clothes for rags, tissues, and toilet paper. I save dryer lint for outside fire pit (In winter I use dryer, in other months I line dry.) I try to buy food in jars and then save the jars to store food instead of buying tupperware. I use all cloth in house so we are not throwing away tissues and paper towels and sanitary products. these have helped but I still want to reduce our trash.<br /><br />I love reading your blog. <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Becky Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02099347717228504160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-43816800347879620332012-02-03T08:06:04.966-06:002012-02-03T08:06:04.966-06:00Wow, great job Abbi!

I'm going to be starting seeds in a few weeks and while I would like to go buy those nice little starting containers I've challenged myself to use what I have. Some of my finds are rather interesting, but I bet they will do the job. Good luck. Can't wait to read more.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330065273141216438noreply@blogger.com
