I save by eating at the Senior Center for lunch every day. It costs
$5, but I have a container and always put one-half if it away
immediately, so then I eat the rest in the evening. There are a few
things I will pay a little more for...my Yuban coffee, for instance.
Otherwise, I use store brands. Otherwise, I drive very little...only
to the senior center and to Kaiser. They are building a new Kaiser
clinic near me and I will go there after the end of the year. I buy
no new clothes and will just wear what I have until it is gone, or I
am.

OK, curiosity wins. Have you invented some kind of tool? Do you have a
friend who will, um, solve the problem for you? Do you just let the
deposits build up? Something else?

Use less toothpaste? If that means you don't always brush after eating, it
could be penny wise, pound foolish. If it means a little less on the brush
each time you use it, I doubt if you'd notice the difference in cost in a
year.
Is butter in tubs cheaper than butter in sticks? Those tubs don't seal real
well - I'd rather use containers with tight lids. Once you buy them, they
last for years.
TV dinner containers - tv dinners don't seem like a bargin to me.
This is all nit-picky though - chasing after fractions of a cent. The big
expenditures are likely to be things like food, utilities, transportation,
and possibly clothing.

==================================================
You're probably drinking too much of that Yuban coffee. That's the reason
you're so excited and aroused all the time.
$5 is a bit steep for a Senior Center lunch. Around here it is $1.50 (or
free if you tell 'em you don't want to pay or cannot afford to pay).
I eat there occasionally just to be friendly with my peers but most of the
time I skip lunch; I find that if I don't eat lunch I can eat all I want of
anything I want for dinner and still never have to worry about putting on
unnecessary weight.
What is a "Kaiser Clinic" ? Whatever it is you're probably going to
have to wear your clothes.

It's best to do as the Texans do. Pay attention to the weather forecasts
and arrange to stand out in the rain whenever possible. That's the way the
Cowboys did it back in the days of yesteryear.

Don't grind the paint. You'll ruin the tiles.
Paint stripper will get the paint off the tiles, but you'll never get
the paint out of the grout. Buy the Dremel attachment for removing
grout, then put in new grout.

That will do the job fine.

Whatever you can find will do the job fine.

Nope, you'll damage the red surface doing it that way.
If the tiles are highly glazed, paint stripper should work, but you'll have to
regrout the tiles because the grout will have soaked up the black paint.
> and if so what kind of disc should i buy for this job?
Even a wire brush will damage the red surface, but is what
you should use for that if you want to do it that way anyway.

I can eat a banana, a dollop of cottage cheese and some homemade bread
for lunch and it prob. works out to about a buck and a half. If you
are grabbing the Lean Cuisine type things, then, yes, you prob. are
spending more, but I have seen even those go on sale 2 for 5.

You can still buy potatoes for a hell of lot less than $5 per meal.

Thats still less than $5 per meal if you eat half a pound per meal.
And a curry costs a hell of a lot less than that per meal.

Even at $2/doz thats a lot less than $5 per meal.

You can't make a meal for less than $5 ???
Perdue chicken leg quarters were on sale for $0.59 a lb. I bought 5 lbs,
cooked 3 lbs and froze 2 lbs. The 3 lbs of chicken lasts for 3 dinners. Add
a vegetable, pasta or potatoes and dessert and each meal is less than $1.50.
