The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 11, 2023

In my free time I enjoy canning and preserving food (well, I enjoy the results of it, ha!), canned peaches = summer in a jar 2. We bought a cheap old trampoline and enclosed the bottom with chicken wire as their run It has been a learning curve to take care of this much land, as well as the chickens and cows we’ve since added.

That’s good for the Earth and for personal finances. The truth is, there are plenty of things our grandparents and great grandparents did that were eco-friendly and frugal that we can easily do today. So often, being environmentally friendly and saving money go hand in hand. Instead, we wanted something more durable.

Attention, personal finance readers and gurus! Food was preserved by canning, drying or storing in a cool cellar or the ice house. You think you know the difference between a need and a want – right? Really, are you sure ? Why do we care about want vs. need? Water was drawn from the well.

The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons) have long encouraged members to have a ready supply of food, water and finances. You use your time gardening or tending animals, canning, plowing or digging wells and you aren’t going to have time to go to the higher paying job. It is hard work living off the land.
