The Frugal Girl

And I am more conscious of eating leftovers and avoiding food waste. It’s healthier, and when eggs were incredibly expensive, it was much more economical (still is since I buy flaxmeal in bulk). I’d like to grow our own catnip for Mr. Clark! How has reading the Frugal Girl changed you? I make bone broth now!
