Frugal Living

Hello everyone, my name is Rochelle and married to DH. We have 2 pets. Kelpie x German shepherd and a cat. We from Perth Australia.

I need help desperately. We on a strict budget because we in bad debt and Public Trustee is dealing with our bills and so far he saved up almost $1000.

Monday we get: $36

Wednesday we get: $109 and

Friday we get: $54.

That all we get for the whole week. I struggle badly with grocery shopping and constantly have to return things. I can't never get enough food which doesn't last a week.  I be forever grateful for advice and tips.

Have you checked with a professional to see if its ok to vent the dryer back into the house?  If you have ever looked at the outside vent, it has to be cleaned regularly because there is lint that doesnt get caught in the inside lint trap.  You could be filtering air contaminants back into your house, and perhaps issues with carbon dioxide or something.   Its also a fire hazzard. I'm no expert, but i would assume theres a reason for an outside vent to begin with, probably a safety reason!

edited:  I just looked online, there are various sources that say you must vent the dryer outside!  the moisture causes mold growth in the home, air contaminants, and the loose lint is a huge fire hazzard!

Returning things means you take it back to get your money back.

The food we like is Pasta, chicken, beef and meat. Pretty much anything. Our weekly budget is roughly $203 per week. That including pet food and toiletries as well.
