Serious September Savers Frugal Chatter

[Natalka]

Inquiring mind strange question: At witch year old you saw or noticed your first white hair?
I discover one this morning when I was brushing my hairs,I am just 28 years old,that freak me out....
I know it could be faster with stress,habits,lifestyle...What do you think of that? Or maybe genetic? My mother had her hairs colored the first time at 30 years old,and at 40 and more she had grey and white hairs if she dont dye hit...I never taught and made big deal about that...until I see one..mine lol

What are yours taught about that?

It's really varied in my family - from my mom, to my three older sisters, and me.

Mom started greying just a small bit in the front in her 50s, and after a while she just used a bit of brunette coloured mousse on it. In her mid-60s it came on more.

My oldest sister started greying in her 30s, and just stuck with salt and pepper, then grey, now pretty white-ish hair in her mid-60s. She never dyed it.

The next two sisters freaked when they saw a little grey in their 20s and have been dying their hair for decades.

I guess I'm the one most similar to my mom - saw a few strands of lighter hair in my 40s (I just thought it was a lighter blonde since I'm a dirty blonde, lol!), but they are grey/white. I just plucked them out for a while since there were just a few at one temple. Now that there are a few more on each side, I just leave them - no one else notices them, and even if there were more, it wouldn't bother me. I won't be dyeing my hair.

[cath007]

Oh... White hair... I found my first one while pregnant with my second (I was 23) I cried for two days... Pregnancy hormones to blame I think.

I must admit I freak it out too like if my life was finish and I was old,but a friend make me realize when I told this story crying and laughing at the same time...it is NOTHING,we begin our real life at this age,we really know what we want and no more lost time so it go fast in achieve the goals... my moral was better after..But my grand-mother had white hairs early too.

[YOU AND ME]

Anyone want to share their deals that they will be shopping for this weekend? (Or upcoming week) I will be doing my big shop tomorrow night, my biggest deals are likely glade (bigger deal because there is no tax!!) janes and cavendish.

I also just re-sorted my stockpile (does it ever end?????) but this time I separated my donations. For Christmas this year I am donating 25 (small) little gifts to single young moms. I was 17 when I had my oldest and this place helped me a lot so I am very thrilled to be able to give back! Each mom will receive 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a bar of Olay and a Glade smelly. I know it isn't a lot, but I have only been gathering stuff since April for it so its not bad.

Ill be canning on Monday... Lots to get done!!

We are very excited to start trying for our third, I always wanted three but the dh wasn't so sure. I think he thinks I'm crazy cause I started a 'baby shelf' in the stockpile already, but wipes and diapers won't expire!! Lol! I have also been dying to be an aunt forever so it was a big day for me when I found out!

Lisa what are you planning on canning? I've made so far 16x 250ml jars of wild cranberry jelly, need to count my canned apple jars, will be doing whole crab-apples in ooey gooey syrup tomorrow and crab-apple jelly also this is tomorrows goals. All the cranberries, apples & crab-apples were all picked along the country roads etc. I will be heading to my parents house on Sunday until Tuesday or Wed. and will be canning 90 pounds of potatoes and will be picking up around 20 pounds of rutabaga at Super C while on the Quebec side visiting my parents and guess what I will be doing with them???

Well broke my budget for September already. I need to get into the habit of setting aside money specifically for emergencies!!!

DS has gotten really sick over the past two days so took him to the doctors this morning, he has a throat infection. So dished out $30 for meds and $5 for Popsicles. Then at walmart I noticed the 180 count bottles of Disney gummy vitamins are on rollback for $12, needed vitamins anyways and happened to have a $2 coupon in my wallet. IMO it was a great deal for 6 months of vitamins! Usually I with coupon I get the 60 count bottles for about $6. Home now and he is cuddled up with his grandma on the couch watching ice age. His absolute favourite movie. Lol. His dad wants to see him tonight and since he's sick I will be staying for the visit and dinner too. Joy. Haha.

On another note I weighed myself yesterday and lost 4lbs since my last weigh in two weeks ago.
