The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 18, 2023

I’m a 53-year-old mother of 2 (grown) and grandmother of 4. Two dogs call me Mom: one Bluenose Pitbull (Krude Male/neutered) and one Rhodesian Ridgeback mix (Jewel female/ spayed). My dad passed away in 2022 and my mom lives in Oregon. Searching for information on food waste led me here. Here’s Ginger!

Today we’re meeting a reader who is an artist, a homeschooler, a boy-mom, and a renter by choice. I also want to have a sense of detachment from owning things, which is hard since I was raised by very acquisitive parents (my mom shopped for a hobby), so I am still unlearning those habits. Hello, everyone! Here’s Karen: 1.

NOVEMBER 13, 2023

I’m a long-distance cyclist, a triathlete, a wife, a mother of two, a sister, a daughter, a friend, DIY-er, and a community member! And barring one job I had as a young mother, I never have. They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD. We made a lot of Steak Diane that night.)

My fiance and I are hosting Christmas this year, which for me means that my mom and stepdad are driving from my home town to spend the week with us, and my aunt is coming from about an hour away to feast. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. Cutting Down.
