I’m not a huge fan of boxed, canned, or frozen food. Luckily, this preference also saves me some cash. What are you doing to keep costs down?

I’m a big fan of all things sweet and chocolate, so I look forward to Halloween candy. As a child, I grew up on a road that didn’t have a lot of houses, so while trick or treat was fun for me and my brother, we only came home with a handful of candy. I’m a HUGE fan of after holiday clearance!

Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. People opened their windows and used attic fans or sat in metal lawn chairs outside to cool off. The average home size in America was around 1100 square feet.

We got by back then using open windows, fans and attic fans. Most had a simple stove, a fan on the wall to vent (along with a window), a single sink and a tiny refrigerator. My parents made do with one for most of their years, even when my brother and I started driving. Air conditioning. Yes, there were phones.
