The Frugal Girl
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023
A reader wrote me an email telling me about some family troubles, including the story of her son leaving an abusive marriage, with his little daughter in tow. Also, I’ve heard good things about the affordability of online therapy, such as what is offered through sites like Better Help. Readers, what would you add to my answers?

I had difficulty fitting in work outs when I was with the kids during the day, and after the kids were in bed, I was usually too tired to want to work out. I told myself that when the kids started school I’d have more time to exercise regularly. Now the kids are with me all day. Using DVDs to Exercise with Kids.

Teach kids about products. Even though you take your kids to the grocery store or Walmart every week, using it as a learning ‘tour’ with a narrative designed and presented by you will open their wee little eyes to new information! Teach kids about different types of jobs in one business.

My family does! We bought a used pop up camper about 4 years ago and have been enjoying it ever since. Avalon Campground is family friendly, full of amenities, and very close to the beach. We set up on a 30 amp electric/water site and most of the campsites are shaded. Love to camp? They are typical campground bathhouses.

We have a pop-up, so we booked a 30 amp site, but there are also tent sites, RV sites, small cabins, and deluxe cabins available. OR, you can purchase the Day Pass for $18 and get unlimited use of these 4 activities. We bought the girls passes to the water slide and my husband also took the kids to the pool.

When the holidays are over, when the toys are old and tossed aside, when the wind and snow are howling outside, and the kids are wailing “ I’m bored” what can you do to entertain and educate them? My kids used to love helping me make play dough. My kids used to love helping me make play dough. Play Dough.

I’m always looking for ways to save my family money to not only help us get through current higher food and gas prices but also to help us achieve our big financial goals. Much to the dismay of my kids, I’ve declared Thursday nights during the school year as Clean the Fridge Out Night. My Frugal Shenanigans!
