Peach Sorbet

I went to a produce store the other day and I saw some bags of peaches marked down to a dollar each bag. They just had a few soft spots on them, so I washed them and cut off the spots, along with peeling them also.

It,s kind of funny that I found those peaches, as I had been thinking of a peach sorbet, which is like an Italian Ice! I paid a dollar a bag and ended up with around ten peaches. Oh the heavenly smell, as I was slicing into them! Smelled like heaven to me!

#frozen #homemade

I added a cup of sugar to this bowl and one half cup or water. Then I put this mixture through my food processor in two batches, as I have a small processor and processed until smooth.

Then I poured everything into a quart plastic covered bowl and put it into the freezer for eight hours. The photo will show only a third of the sorbet, as I shared with two of my friends also.

June 2020 Pest Control

Pest Control

I have used this method of pest control for the past 30 years and will still be using it hopefully for the next 30. In the past 8 years I have only seen 8 of those German roaches that multiply so fast1 This is how good this stuff works.

First go to the Dollar Store and buy some very small plastic containers like you would make a face cream or etc. in. Next go to the grocery store and buy a box of 20 Mule Team Borax in the soap powder isle.

Now you take a small bowl and put 1/2 cup borax and 1/4 cup of powdered sugar in it and whisk together. Spoon powder into containers and set 1 in each room of the house, where kids or pets can not get to it.

This remedy sticks to the insect and goes back to it’s nest and kills the rest! Works for sugar ants! And many other bugs also.

Just renew this powder every season of the year! You know if it works on my apartment that is attached to many other apartments and more near me(It Works). As all people are not the same type of house cleaners that I am. I hope this helps someone! Please share this online with

Frugal June 2020 Remedies Share

This is for the teens

You could stop wasting your money if you try this and see the results for yourself! This is not a very polite subject to post about so stop right here if you are sqeemish!

Have you ever sat doen and read the ingredients on those expensive pimple creams that are on the market? They all contain one main ingredient which is peroxide. By the way it is pretty frugal to buy and use.

Also if you keep using your hands you will build up scare tissue with large indents on your face so please don,t. Go to Walmart and buy yourself a pimple looped popper that you can use instead and always sterilize it after usage by washing it with soap or alchol.

Just dab it on at night and in the morning and see the results for yourself! And I am sure you could spend your well -saved money to do fun things with. I myself am 61 years a teenager if I keep my mindset that way, then life will always be fun right up to the end. But loving God and living for Him is the missing key to a happy and mainly peaceful life from beginning till the end of time.

May you find this Glorious peace and Joy to Carry You through All Things In Life, just by adding or keeping God in your daily goings for each and everyday! I am sending each one of you love and hugs from me to you this day and everyday.

If you like this post please share it!

Canning Frugal

Canning Jars

If you find that you really enjoy preserving God,s bounty in canning jars as I do! Yow will want any good jar for canning. The only reason I buy Ragu pasta sauce is when it,s BOGO at Publix, you can stock sauce cheaply. But the most important reason for me is the jars and their lids make wonderful canning jars for my chili that I love to have on hand for taco salad or just a great bowl of chili. What you buy in a can in the stores does not even come close to the quality and taste of canning your own. Not to mention that it,s already cooked and just needs to be warmed up!

The lids on Ragu jars have a rubber seal if you just feel under the lid and yes I keep re-using lids that still have the rubber seal in great condition and the Ragu jars also. Also I do get some of my jars at the Dollar Tree Store when I open and realize that it has the awesome rubber seal.

And I use the old punch hand can opener to open my canned foods(the flat) side. And be careful not to bend the lid in any way so that I can also re-use my all purpose USA lids from Walmart. And they always seal for me as I follow the canning rules to the letter.

Now for cleaning the Ragu lids from the saucy smell, just wash with your dishes and then put water and baking soda into a bowl and drop the lid in for however many days it takes to not have a tomato smell.

Nor for the label on the jars that used to be impossible for me to soak and scrape it off. I learned this tip just last year 2019. You just have a small amount of baking soda and olive oil in a tiny dish and rub this paste heavily(lots of it) over the label on the jar and let it sit around in your kitchen for 3 to 4 days and then it will wash right off. If not repeat this step again! The photo,s will show past on jar and then a clean jar with the label off. Best of luck canning and preserving the freshest and best= tasting food for your family! As always Love and Hugs from me to you. #God’s-Bounty https://www.wisdomforpennies.com/

May-2020 On-The Cheap

Feeling Safe

This is a little item that will help you feel a little safer when you are out on the road. It,s cheap and should do the job very well. But alas as I have had no volunteer for a test try, I can only guess.

The Terminator powerful stun gun is a little something I found on Amazon I believe or maybe Ebay for under $20.00. It is supposed to lay a man down, way down on the ground, if He is trying to rob you. It says to only use for 3 seconds as that will do the job well enough!

The high voltage shock causes your attacker to have messages from the brain dissrupted and voluntary muscles to be disrupted. Your attacker will loose balance and muscle control and this will bring Him to his knees! Oh by the way it has a flashlight button also that is a slider button so you will not confuse it will the round press button that sparks the voltage that you do have to be close enough to touch the person with.

The Terminator cost $9.49 with free shipping included from Amazon.

#taser #safety
#zap #shock

I am just a person trying to protect myself if ever there comes a need! If ever there does you can expect the story here at https://www.wisdomforpennies.com Thank you for visiting and please do, come back soon. Stay well and stay safe everyone.

Pest Control

Home Pest Control

I just read a post about ants and it made me think about this time of the year when it is very dry with no rain. You start to see ants building mounds on your sidewalks and over grass and twigs. This has always showed me that a big rain is coming soon.

I have been my own pest control person for too many years to even count now (around 30 years). This is my remedy and you have to know that it works as I have never changed this remedy for all these years of using it.

This also works on roaches and sugar ants which are almost impossible to exterminate! You do need to keep this away from children and pets just as you do for cleaning supplies and other harmful products!

I make this and put it out in jar lids or tiny containers from the Dollar Tree Store(which is a cool place to be frugal at) for supplies you use. It also lasts me for 2 years at least. Because I only use this for pest control and doing my laundry.

To make this remedy I just Get a small bowl and put in 1/2 cup of Borax and 1/4th cup of powdered sugar both as dry powders and stir together. Put this in every room of the house or apartment in mayonnaise jar lids or tiny containers from the Dollar Tree store. I do not add water because if you do then it turns into a silicone within a week and then you have to top each one off with a little water every week. (I used to do this). Then I found out that used as a dry powder you only have to mess with this each season to put out fresh powder. Summer-Fall-Winter and Spring.

So this is Connie’s pest control and it is very frugal and this works excellent! I hope you will try this and save yourself some money and have your home be bug-free.

As always Love-Hugs and Prayers for you and your family.   <pest-control>

How to make your own laundry detergent on the cheap

I want to share this awesome frugal and sweet-smelling homemade laundry detergent that I have been making and using for too many years to count. I did find the recipe on Pinterest a long time ago!

 

 
Ingredient List
      Box of 20 Mule Team Borax {in the laundry section of store}
              Box of Arm and Hammer Washing Powders {Ditto}
  Bar of Zote Soap {Ditto}
 
   First use a grater as shown or be smart and cut into chunks for the food processor to do the hard work.  I’m just sentimental about the old ways of our previous generations of Mom’s and Grannies’ long gone but never forgotten, 
 
so I choose the hard way. to grate this bar of soap up. I love to try to keep old memories alive and traveling into future generations. This is the reason for this blog.
 
      Next measure out 4 cups,  which is two of each powder and put it into a large bowl.  Now if you used the grater you now have to put bar soap shavings into a food processor to grate up smaller. I usually mix the powders together and add the processed bar of soap into the powder and stir together. Then I store this in a coffee container with a condiment cup that I fill with 2 tbsp of detergent and then use a marker to draw a line around the cup for a measurement line for each load of laundry that I wash.  Now you could use only 1 tbsp of this per load but I love how this smells and feels on my washed clothing so I use 2 tbsp. I also toss in 1/4th of a cap of cheap Purex Crystals for sleeping salts.{Just kidding} just for scent only for each very large front end loader machine.The huge one!
 
     This homemade detergent is safe for all septic tanks and the environment.  It is also safe for babies and kids and yourself. It really cleans fantastic as well! Also, you can’t beat the price. I forget if it’s 3 cents or 6 cents for each load of laundry for a medium of large or even extra-large load sizes. For a very small load, I would only 1 tbsp.
I do add 1/4th of a capful of Purex scented bead to each load for a light scent.
 
         I sincerely hope you will try this yourself and form your own opinions about this awesome stuff! You only have to buy the two washing powders every year or two. Please forgive my old looking table.it belonged to a man that crafted and it is still being used for painting on and many other crafts. Also sorry the photos are so dark today! Love and Hugs from me to you and your families and always prayers forevermore.  #Laundry #Borax

Healing Remedy from Past Times

It’s time for me to share about an old-time healing remedy that took me so many years to come across. Even when I took a trip deep into the West Virginia mountains and met some old-time tough mountain women, alas they would not give this Florida woman their recipe no matter how I literally begged them for it! I came back home to Florida and searched for it on the internet and finally found it! It is worth more than gold to me and has been for my family members for many years from young to old in age. This also works for this present time and year of May 2020. I am not a Doctor I’ll have know that I am just a peon that has had dreams of helping others since I was a small child and this has carried throughout my life-time and always will I sincerely believe as I have God’s love in my heart and soul to reach out to others about his loving peace you can walk in so that you just might work for him. I will share a few photos of this awesome remedy that will literally pull the congestion from deep in your chest and allow it to come out of your body so that you can breathe again follow the photos that you see in this post for quick directions. You will need mustard powder(1tablesoon) with flour (any kind) 1 tablespoon and the next ingredient will be to crack the egg and separate the white from the yolk, you will use the egg white only. Put this into a small bowl along with powdered mustard and also the flour and just stir it up. It will look like pretty mustard. The next step is to take a washcloth as you can see in the photo it is folded in half. Unfold it and spoon this mixture over the fold but leave an inch free on each end with no mustard poultice so it will not squeeze out the ends when you fold this back in half again just the way you started with and safety pin each end outside your old pajama top. I do mine on the inside but I tell everyone else to pin outside as it might burn your chest, but I am tough enough and can not take flu shots as I am allergic to all of them and I happen to have COPD and asthma along with sleep apnea so I have to get serious when my health takes a deeper dive but either way I will get to meet God so I am happy. When you pin this on stay inside the house. You will feel it pulling the mucous from deep inside you within a few minutes. Wear this all day and night then it will harden up and its time to either throw it away or peel off your washcloth and discard the mustard part. I have used this in a dime size lump on the three-month-old babies when they had croup only for overnight and under the covers all night and outside their pajama’s ONLY. By morning the croup was gone. I pray that in this COVID-19 time that will help someone out in the world that is not afraid to try this and see the results for your self. #Mountain #Healer
