The Frugal Girl

OCTOBER 30, 2023

Lina is a relatively new reader (she found me at kind of an odd time in my blog history, which you will see), and she’s lived in Germany, Asia, and Sweden. The post where Kristen wrote about her separation was one of the first ones I read on the blog. I found the blog looking for frugal recipes. Meet a Reader is back!

Family Balance Sheet

JANUARY 28, 2022

My budget has gone up quite a bit from when I first started blogging. As my kids have grown into teenagers who eat as much as adults, I spend about $800-1000/month–this includes anything I buy at the grocery store, so it includes paper and cleaning products. There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list.

There’s a reason why menu planning is #1 on this list.
