Prairie Eco-Thrifter

If your finances are tight and you already have several credit cards with high balances, it is time to change your shopping behavior to save as much as possible. If you do buy excess fruit or vegetables, place paper towels at the bottom of your refrigerator’s crisp drawer. Buy butter in bulk when it is on sale.

The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). I consoled myself with the thought that I rarely buy paper towels and use cloth napkins, so it all balances out. Also, growing our own food. Try things!

Family Balance Sheet

Use Cash I like to use cash while on vacation, because I am less tempted to buy useless souvenirs and over spend with a credit card, but it takes a little planning to come up with the cash that we need. My parents don't spend any $1 bills that pass through their hands through out the year. Don't forget batteries for the cameras.

We also don’t want to come home to a credit card bill. dishwasher detergent, dish soap, paper towels, napkins. was cheaper to buy in bulk at this shop than for all of us to order the food individually at a restaurant. Do you really need another coffee mug or t-shirt? What will you need in the kitchen?
