If you’re not careful, decor costs – even frugal DIY projects – can really get away from you. One very inexpensive way to decorate your home for the season is with free fall printables ! Just find a cute printable, pop it in a cheap frame (check Goodwill, garage sales, your attic, etc. and spray paint the frame to match!),

Clap sticks from decorated paint stirrers. Garage sales – I found a guitar for $5.00 once at a garage sale and bought it for my grandson. Later we went ahead and bought it from the shop – but that wasn’t a very inexpensive solution! Maracas from individual serving sized raisin boxes and dried beans.

Whether you are browsing at a local thrift shop, flea market, garage sale, or just perusing your own garage or basement, we all seem to have an abundance of them! After all, they are fairly inexpensive to come by, and you never know when the need for one might pop up. Paint your frame the color of your choice or leave plain.

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. I even made the kid’s play dough and finger paint. Me: What kinds of frugality did you practice while you were earning your millions? We also did without a lot of things.
