I'm with those above - it's homemade from scratch with most items from my garden, plus leftover dibs and dabs. I freeze the surplus for later.... however, as my freezer is about full with the garden stuff, I think I am going to start canning my homemade soup in quarts. Might save the freezer space :) Campbell’s is not in my frugal cupboard either!

In times of uncertainty, we all seek security and peace, and a warm, soothing bowl of soup is the ultimate balm. As Judith Martin (Miss Manners) said,""Do you have a kinder, more adaptable friend in the food world than soup? Who soothes you when you are ill? Who refuses to leave you when you are impoverished and stretches its resources to give a hearty sustenance and cheer? Who warms you in the winter and cools you in the summer? Yet who also is capable of doing honor to your richest table and impressing your most demanding guests? Soup does its loyal best, no matter what undignified conditions are imposed upon it. You don't catch steak hanging around when you're poor and sick, do you?" I love it! Soup, whether Campbells or homemade, is a comfort food.

I guess I've been in the frugal trenches too long - for someone accustomed to buying frozen lasagnas, skillet meals, and going out to eat nearly every night, I suppose Campbells would be a step down. :) For us, there's nothing better on a cold winter evening than to sit down to a bowl of homemade tomato soup made by simply pureeing tomatoes gleaned from a friend's overproductive garden (since mine was not so productive!) But something makes me think that simple is better. :) I was surprised, too, at the idea that frugality means buying Campbell’s.

Or, is it just the right thing to buy stalwarts, like soup, nuts, bread? A friend of mine said, "If you can't eat it, it's not worth anything." He may be onto something. I surely cannot eat my house...

Once things get better, we'll see flat screen TVs and unpaid credit card bills again. :( In times of economic uncertainty, people turn to frugality… unfortunately the cycle always goes back.

I'd like to keep selling jewelry. One thing I've noticed is more trading going on between artists though. I just accepted a trade for a hand painted silk pillow for a pair of my earrings. We both win. And no cash changes hands. I'll get a great gift to give my MIL at Christmas and she gets a pretty pair of earrings. I admit to not wanting to use our credit cards as much anymore. And we really are focusing on savings. And coupons are my friends. I saved over $100 at Albertsons a couple of weeks ago where I bought over 20 things of soup ... plus some other basic staples like pasta and spent only around $50 plus earned 600 box tops for education. =) Go Campbells!
