One of them kept it at their house in the garage, but each time there was a snow storm they each got their chance to use it, taking turns doing both of their driveways. You go to the library to borrow books, so why not share the ones you buy with your friends? When I was growing up, two of my neighbors shared a snowblower each winter.

You can also visit your local library and check out DVD’s for free. Check out local thrift stores, Craigslist ads, and garage sales for low cost (and sometimes free!) If you’d prefer to do something a little more active fitness videos are a good way to get started. YouTube has hundreds, if not thousands of free workouts available.

Two car garages. With the two income household came the need for more than one set of wheels and consequently the desire for multiple garages. Is it sufficient to be able to go to a library or school or other facility to use theirs or do we need them at home? We still just have one at our house though. Many new homes now have 4.

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Go to the library. Instead of buying books, check them out of the library. If you calculate your mortgage interest, the cost of insurance and maintenance, buying can be much more expensive than renting. Frugal gifting.

Until, that is, she went out to the ‘library’ with her book one day, sat on the outdoor privy and got stung on the bottom by a bee! I ended up freeze drying them in the garage! Dad grew up on his parent’s farm with a wood stove, an outhouse and kerosene lamps. Trust me, that takes awhile.

While I think the shopping trips featured on the show are a little over-the-top, you can still be Extreme Couponer without having a garage full of salad dressing. Or go to your local library. I’m sure you’ve seen the show on TLC called Extreme Couponing. Extreme is the opposite of ordinary.

It might be cheap, but it’ll sit in my garage for the next few months till I started that project that’s on my mind. Take the time to enjoy a good book (on loan from the library) or go for a hike or bake a meal at home from scratch. I started to ask myself if I’d use the item right then. That electric drill?
