The Frugal Girl

I have to buy the electronic version of all of my textbooks, since there are online assignments associated with them, and the online versions have an option to have the computer read to you. I’m an older adult in college also, and I would love to have the option to listen to the books I have to read. Thank you!!

We’ll be purchasing everything except for the turkey in bulk (brussell sprouts, potatoes, cranberry sauce or fresh cranberries, bread for stuffing, etc) and then dividing it so that none goes to waste. This allows us to cash in on the savings without watching our money go in the garbage by food waste. Cutting Down.

Growing up, I remember my mom always sending me out to the composting bin with a bucket full of (what I thought was) gross bits and pieces of food waste. Better than anything store bought, and, if you watch what you throw in that bin, is an organic alternative to any fertilizer or plant food you can buy at the store.

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. Is there anything unique about frugal living in your area? And I had no kids or spouse!

You’d be amazed at the things people will buy. My niece goes to Goodwill and buys what I can only describe as bags of junk, and she makes a full-time income selling it on eBay. Buy your favorite coffee creamer and make your morning coffee to-go instead of driving through somewhere. Don’t spend it!!

Consistently using things you already have not only saves money but also prevents food waste. Throwing food away is throwing money away ! Eating up those leftovers prevents food waste, period! When I do this, I still buy the things we use every day like eggs, coffee, and cream. Have a plan. Get organized.
