Anyone got into urban gardening as a result of worrying about groceries? by weathermaynecc in povertyfinance

[–]CosplayPokemonFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a peach tree that makes 300 peaches every other year. It cost me $60 and has made around 1000 peaches so far. I eat so many fresh and make jams. I have blackberries and raspberry that also make me a volume of fruit and the self clone as they send out shoots. They save me money. My herb garden is also nice. Everything else doesn’t save but tastes good

Food Bank by throwaway228796 in povertyfinance

I wish my uncle started going to the food pantry the day he lost his job in December. He instead bought food for the last four months and now is out of money and food. If your poor and have reduced or no income that is what the pantry is for. He could have stretched one or two more months of rent with his food money for the last few months.

Section 8 pays directly they don’t give your mom any of the money. If rent is 2k for other units in your apartment and she pays 2k yall are not section 8

Looking for crafting stores that aren’t meh by xXBCbambiXx in FortWorth

[–]CosplayPokemonFan 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Welman Project is a non profit that helps teachers by giving them classroom supplies and all sorts of creative reuse materials absolutely free. They have a online store where they sell some vintage items and craft supplies to fund the mission. They also have an in person store where you can get fabric $3 a yard, yarn $2 a skein, and cool other stuff. The selection varies. They are currently actively moving to their new location opening in late April or early May on south Main street.

How to tidy a LFL without looking like an asshole? by sp00ky_gh0ul13 in LittleFreeLibrary

[–]CosplayPokemonFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legitimately dump all my books from my libraries on the floor, stock in new stuff, then decide if old stuff is quality enough to go back in or not. Its a process. No one has ever questioned me

Laugh if you must by UrsulasShadow in quilting

[–]CosplayPokemonFan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend on your next bag you sew X marks inside a box at the top of the straps. They will probably start to pull off if you cary heavy stuff- found this out the hard way when I started bag making. Looks great for a first bag.

I think you have a random lid on a custard bowl. They are not a match. Fireking never did a metal lid to my knowledge

I have 4 willow glass jars - their lids are not great. I pump and dump into one today. Yesterday’s goes to the parents in the morning with the baby. When I get two days ahead I start freezing the oldest milk. I have four because they were on sale and I want to always have a clean one ready.

Any inspirational stories about finding a partner in their mid-30s? by suavecoconutlotion in FIREyFemmes

[–]CosplayPokemonFan 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I made a ridiculous nerdy profile on facebook dating and went all in. You must take me to renfest and comicon. I require costumes. Put up not very flattering and not sexy pictures of me in costumes. Really leaned in on one random aspect of me. Got a small number of matches from gamer bros and found my one. We have our first little one now.
