Being thrifty stays an ingrained habit. In doing so, many become adept at thriftiness. Knowing I had the financial backing to live through negative life events (divorce, job loss, catastrophe, etc) removed a level of stress from my life. I didn’t start getting my body redone with plastic surgery or face lifts.

Tickets for two to an event is a great way to get out get social, beat the winter blues, and make some fun new memories with your BFF. Still feeling a little homebound even post pandemic? It’s time to trade those sweats and yoga pants for the latest high rise mom-jean trend (or, gasp, a dress) and rejoin society.

To find local or regional events to do over the weekend, just do a quick internet search and go from there. The truth is that many local or regional events are low cost because they are hosted by small time organizations who just want to provide a great family fun festivity. Have you ever planned a vacation using a tight budget?

I’ve never been to an event where a salad has gone untouched. Caravan Holidays – The Thrifty Way To Holiday. Be the one responsible for bringing a healthy option. A salad is always welcome with any type of cuisine. You certainly won’t be the only one eating it. It doesn’t even have to be salad.

Was there a particular event? This post is linked to Thrifty Thursday at Living Well, Spending Less and The Thrifty Couple. We paid down mostly student loans, vehicles and business credit card debt ( we already own a home outright ). It took use about 10 years because we didn’t get serious until the 11th hour.

I volunteer at my kids’ school at lunch time and other events. This was a time I had been thinking about not teaching anymore and staying home, so I was looking for new ideas to be thrifty. He is also thrifty and is much better at budgeting than I. I teach because I love my subject and it gets me out of the house.

The topic was ‘ What did today’s millionaires do to be thrifty before they earned their millions?” Me: What do you think of the mass move towards thriftiness in today’s twenty and thirty-something crowd? Me: What else do you recall doing to be thrifty? Eating out or going to a movie were once a year events.

In the month of October, I participated in The Nester’s 31 Days event and my challenge was to find $1000. This post is linked to Thrifty Thursday. Mondays thru Saturdays in October, I offered ideas to help you find $1000 too. And on Sundays, we met here to catch our breath and let everyone know how we were finding our cash.
