The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 4, 2023

I saw that you don’t exchange Christmas gifts with nieces and nephews on your side. What did Christmas and birthday gifts for nieces and nephews look like when they were young? As far as Christmas stuff I do now…well, last Christmas and this Christmas, I’m in single mom and full-time college student mode.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). We have a lot of free parks and nature reserves for hiking, and a wonderful library system that does free Inter Library Loans as well as lots of e-books.

Saving Everyday

My niece goes to Goodwill and buys what I can only describe as bags of junk, and she makes a full-time income selling it on eBay. Used clothing, toys, and necessities sell very well. The first time I did this was nearly 20 years ago, and it was a big eye-opener. You’d be amazed at the things people will buy.
