Growing up I was always taught to have a positive mindset. Especially playing competitive sports during my prime athletic career! I have taken this mindset to my financial life and this is what really fuels me to stay positive, even during the most difficult times. If you are experiencing hard times, you are not alone. People all across theUnited Statesare struggling financially.

Recently I was given the opportunity to try out the JAWS (Just Add Water) Cleaning System. I was really excited to try this out because not only is it eco-friendly, it is non-toxic and bio-degradable. This is a big deal for me because of children and pets. It's also a HUGE deal because it means that if got poured into my drains, it wouldn't hurt my groundwater if it seeped into our well.

I'm not sure why it never occurred to me until recently that salsa can be homemade with canned tomatoes. Winter isn't the best time of year in PA to buy fresh tomatoes for homemade salsa. But my all time favorite snack is chips and salsa. I can polish off a whole bag of lime flavored tortilla chips and a container of salsa in less than 24 hours.all by myself!

Is a penny saved really a penny earned ? Are you having déjà vu? Don’t worry – I’m not repeating myself. In my first article at Prairie Ecothrifter , I wanted to introduce two things: mental accounting and earning income. Mental accounting being the tendency people have to view money differently depending on where it comes from; and the idea of earning money is fun.

Some folks consider the American Midwest p-r-e-t-t-y boring. In their minds, it has little culture, no historical significance, no mountains with ski resorts and no beaches for swimming or surfing. However, those of us who grew up here and live here still, find frugal family fun activities galore. Here are a few of my favorite things to do with the family in Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri.

Vacations are those times when the much needed rest and relaxation are in order. It is an important part of one’s life to avoid monotony and boredom. But for some, vacations become a rather stressful event especially after spending too much and feeling the pressure of having spent more than one can afford. If you are planning a vacation, always remember that vacations need not be expensive to be fun.

This is a post I put up a long time ago, but I have had several readers ask the question "what happens if I pay with extra bucks and have to return the item?" over the past month so I thought I would repeat it. Returns at CVS with a receipt are simple--they have great customer service and if you have a problem with a product they will make it right.
