Marilyn, hope your DH gets a good job soon! I've long cut corners where I could (vacations? can't remember the last time we had one), although it's easier now that I can collect a little Social Security. I usually buy birdseed and such at a certain feed store in San Antonio where I can get good quality birdseed a bit cheaper than the other places. You know, I wish we had a forum for tips on how to cut expenses! I know a few!

My husband has said many times that the birds eat better than he does!

Since the airline that he used to fly for closed down at the end of Sept. (and he's not working), I have to feed the birds cheaper than I used to do. I rely on squirrel proof feeders, red pepper suet dough and am able to feed the birds peanuts from the shell that I get a the local wild birds unlimited store.

I still scatter bird seed on the ground daily (for the ground feeding birds, wild rabbits and the sometimes wild turkey hen. Of course, the squirrels are there to get 'their share'.
