We had our current home re-roofed when it was only 13 years old. He and a carpenter buddy did the work themselves. It keeps the mold and mildew from growing.

Tomorrow, my hubby and I are headed to Vancouver to visit my Grandfather and his wife. This trip is very important because I have not seen my grandfather in 10 years, a whole decade! I used to visit him every winter break in school but then some family dynamics got in the way. We lost touch for quite a few years. We were finally talking again.

It is a perfect fit for me, as frugality is my hobby and passion, but I also find myself very attracted to the “go green” movement. The fact that the Prairie EcoThrifter focuses heavily on both topics – frugality and green living – really appealed to me. For the most part, I am perfectly happy being at home.

I do something every single day, and all of it is on a very strict budget. Working out at home is so much easier than going to a gym, plus it’s cheaper in the long run without the gym membership fees. Plant some vegetables or flowers, get a workout each week tending to your garden, develop a green thumb, and reap the benefits!
