The Frugal Girl
JANUARY 29, 2024
Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. Used bookstores, fair trade products, and locally sourced food/baskets/pottery are favorites, in addition to monthly outings with my kids. Similar to many others, we pack snacks & cook on trips. Heavens, no.

We shopped at garage sales, turned down the heat, combined errands to use less gas, didn’t buy a lot of prepared food, cooked at home and the like. We mowed the grass, made our clothes, cleaned house, cooked , and fixed broken stuff. I worked a part time job the weekends he wasn’t working. Peggy: Oh yes!
