The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 27, 2023

Megan emailed me a little nervously because she and her husband are not super-duper frugal. But this is “Meet A Reader” not, “Meet Only Super Frugal Readers” There are all sorts of reasons people hang out here, and some of those reasons have nothing to do with frugality. ? So, here’s Megan!

Day 6 of The 12 Days of Frugal Holiday Fun ~ Christmas Crafts. We use the crafts to give as gifts or to decorate our home, but mostly to keep them entertained and focused on the holiday, so I don't hear the inevitable, "mom, I'm bored" or "mom, can I watch tv?".
