Bulk Buying to Share Cost with Family and Friends

How To Cut Cost When Bulk Buying

Buying in Bulk can save you lots of money.  You can go in together with friends and family when you find a sale.  You can buy more with this type of group buying.

Group buying and bulk buying surely go hand in hand with increasing community and family unity and support.  You can feel out your neighbors and see it they are the type of people that would buy lawn supplies or even a snow blower together.  Or you can share information that you have such a tool they could use if you have what they need.

In these trying times, when we have a divided country as seen, you can break the spell by doing what you can for the change.  Though a little change, it is teaching others how to share and the importance of this as a way of life.

Our country has come far from the enslaved black people from Africa to where we are now. Every effort in this administration is to take back, regress, ban books-not just African- American books but the history, of other authors or great writers.   You might wonder what in the world do this have to do with Bulk buying.  Well, everything.  When you change your way of thinking, you also change the way you live and promote change in the community and family.  The world is a better place for it.

I grew up in the state of Virginia, where many of my family members shared and gave to those who were in need.    I lived in Virginia before integration, where church and growing up in a family business , you were expected to help out.  Almost everyone had a little garden; and so, to share fruits and vegetables from your garden, was an expected thing.  Food preserving with those Mason jars, was popular with almost all black families, there.  When someone visit your home, it was not unusual to give a gift of a jar of apple preserves, pear preserves, and even string beans. Having your own fruit tree was a normality. No worries about getting your Vitamin C.

Yes, we must go forward to make America the best for all people.  We have come a long way.  We want progress for our children, we want progress for our country, we want progress for the world.

As a nurse, I found out that I was a political person without realizing for a long time.   Being a good listener help to understand people more and to respond appropriately. I appreciate people could share their feelings and experiences.  However, I do consider myself being an activist and a catalyst for positive change. Another thing about nurses, we body read when words are not spoken-not from our patients, but anybody. That is a unique and built-in gift that many people overlook but get better at when they get to know the person.

I hope you like this article, because it does give pause for thought. Thank you for visiting my blog and hopefully you will save money with your purchases, checking for coupons before you buy and to share those sales with friends and relative.

Remember, that the mind is a very valuable thing. Know all the ways that you can be manipulated to do adverse actions that don’t benefit you or anyone else.

How Your Child Can Save Money On Food While In College

Food for Thought, A thought to Survive the College Life

Hello Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful month as the climate change is real for many of us in USA as well. Between the extreme heat and the flaring storms we are in the mix for an eventful year when there is a balance of rain and sun, food become plentiful and the earth renews itself and smiles.

There is only one planet like us, Earth. Earth is truly a beautiful wonder of the universe and so are we! Earth is a gift from God, who thought of everything we needed and gave us the knowledge to make more. Even the animals share in the preservation of the earth and of our survival by spreading of the seeds around the world of seeds that pass from their bodies. The wind blow seeds to places known and unknown to us. Man harvest the seeds of life whereby food is enjoyed by all.

Food is one of the resources that the almighty gave us, so we can live on earth and share our resources with the animals and other human beings.
Having access to food is a major concern for many students as many have limited budget and money in general to buy food.
I just read an article about the dorm list for college students which make me think about this subject-how college student survive in college.
I have a few ideas that could be useful and doable.
1. Share a discount wholesale membership like Sam Club or BJ wholesale. You can buy in bulk and save a lot of money. Make a list of what your roommate like and see if you have similar tastes in food.
2. Have group meals with friends who can bring a dish to dinner once a week.

3. Invest in a crock Pot and make a great dish that could give you left overs.
4. Invest in freezer containers for your left overs.
5. Find out where there is free food. Go to festivals and some churches who might offer their member early rise breakfast.
6. Offer to do community work for your meals and offer to teach what you are expert in
to churches, schools, shelters etc.
7. Get a part-tine job at a food establishment and accept the free meals for workers benefit.
8. If you live close to home, have your parents cook extra food for you to take back to your dorm or apartment and share with your roommate.
9. Consider being a vegetarian for a day and eat nuts, vegetable and fruits for a day.
Here, you will get all of the nutrients your body require unless you have other special issues.
10. Clip coupons and get special discounts when you can.
11. If nothing else works, peanut butter(if you don’t have a peanut allergy) and jelly sandwiches can be a great backup. You can top a peanut butter sandwich with lettuce, bananas, and all kinds of other toppings. Instead of using jelly, use honey, syrup, and other topping you
might like that is healthy for you.
Healthy foods are very essential for anyone, let alone a college student who is on the go all the time and have limited time and money to cook the foods that are healthy for them.
I hope these tips are part of your dorm list for surviving college and good luck to all of the students who are trying to enhance their lives by reaching the goals they have set for themselves.
