Our library only had it in an ebook version (boo) and copies weren’t cheap on eBay, so I added it to my Amazon cart. I used an Amazon gift card to buy a book My friend who is a pastor recommended a Kate Bowler book called, “Have a Beautiful, Terrible Day“, which is a funny title.

Staycations are inexpensive activities that your family can do at home, or locally, that you can all enjoy without running up an expensive vacation tab. You can have just as much fun roasting marshmallows, telling campfire stories and playing outdoors at home as you can at a campground.

I had missed eating at home though, so I did pretty well. I also helped my husband shelve books at his school library for about 5 hours. I do have a potluck planned for the end of August, but I will save up my weekly extra points and stay within my target for sure. I am finally feeling motivated again.

Rent a movie or borrow one for FREE at the library. Make popcorn at home, turn down the lights, and pretend you are in the theatre. Look at the Target First program, Bank of America card holder program, or any other discounts they may offer. Many times there won’t be a cover charge to these events. Be a kid again.

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it!
