We were poor, Mom and Dad lived every day showing us what it meant to ‘make it do’ and we often ‘did without’ Here are my thoughts on frugal ways to make things do. Take care of your wardrobe to keep it looking work and wear worthy. You Tube can show you how to do most everything these days.

He got his roofing urges out when he build our garage last year though!) I have tried homemade laundry detergent and abandoned it – time consuming and it didn’t work well in my machine.

Thankfully, we have worked through those trials and the experience actually made a positive impact on our finances. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. Choose Thrift First.
