The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 6, 2023

I live in the Midwest with my family. I have 11 kids, ages 9-29, and two cats. I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. I volunteer at my kids’ school at lunch time and other events. Why do I want to save money? I’ve been doing it for 28 years now?)
