Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I guess if we run out of money, we can spend beads at the grocery store, right, maybe — on second thought, a little hunger won’t hurt me! LOL
I’m sorry you’re broke, Elaine, but just think what a wonderful time you’re having rolling around on the floor amongst all your new beads!!!!! LMAO
Also, your newfound poverty inspired this great pick, so that is something positive, right?

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:I can tease you because I, also, have zero bead dollars left after my last order.

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Yeah, a little hunger won’t hurt me either. Thanks for the idea; if I fast for a day or two now and then (or eat very, very light) I can save up more money for…BEADS! YAY!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Remember, this is a good time to check what is in the freezer and needs to be used. That way, we have not overspent our bead budget, we are just being careful not to waste good stuff our family needs to eat up. We could call it re-prioritizing.

Elaine aka Belly Chick says:Absolutely right, Happy Chick!

Happy Chick aka Harriet says:Actually, I have already been warned about saying things like this.
I’ve decide it is wise resource management. Guess I’m a subversive at heart. 
Some others thought I might be a bad influence. Tee-hee.
Seriously, I hate to waste perfectly good food because we forgot and let it get buried under newer purchases, and then it got freezer burn, or went past expiration dates.
