The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 6, 2023

I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. I’ve been doing it for 28 years now?) we started doing it after a family activity on my days off, and I’ve kept to it even when times were very tight. He got his roofing urges out when he build our garage last year though!)

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 17, 2018

I want to challenge myself to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have. I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. The Girls’ Activities.

Family Balance Sheet

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. I want to go through our basement, closets, and garage to look for unused items that we can sell. The Girls’ Activities.

That was true for me as well, but I also think that poverty is a very relative concept. In their first home together, built out in the new suburbs (then it was country), Mom endured well water and an outhouse. Plus, it can be really inconvenient to “make do or do without!” Do you have a funny story about making do?
