January 21, 2019We bought the Kitty City Jungle Panther Play Cube from Wal-Mart in Greenville, North Carolina for $4.98 plus tax. We had been eyeing this for a while now.

November 17, 2018First off, here’s Scooby modeling the collar we made. Here’s how we did it: We bought a large collar at Dollar General for around $4. The collar is an adjustable-type collar.

Dog treat gift bottles: make homemade dog treats and recycle bottles into beautiful gifts!
October 16, 2018This post started with us wondering what to do with the massive amount of Starbucks Frappuccino bottles we have collected.

What can you feed chickens if you don’t have money for chicken feed?
August 26, 2018We’ve been there. Buying bag after bag of chicken feed can get expensive. And sometimes you just run out and can’t get to Tractor Supply or wherever you buy your feed before the chickens are going to get hungry again.
