The Frugal Girl
JANUARY 29, 2024
Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. Used bookstores, fair trade products, and locally sourced food/baskets/pottery are favorites, in addition to monthly outings with my kids. I usually take laundry pods & wash clothes wherever for less luggage/cost.
Prairie Eco-Thrifter
SEPTEMBER 25, 2012
We mowed the grass, made our clothes, cleaned house, cooked , and fixed broken stuff. We didn’t have a clothes dryer. When our first baby came we used cloth diapers (so we didn’t have to pay for the disposable ones) and had to freeze dry them in the garage in the winter. Peggy: Well, we did everything ourselves.
Family Balance Sheet
APRIL 1, 2021
We gave up cable many years ago , but realize now we simply traded one cable bill into TOO many subscriptions. I’m always amazed by the amount store tags I see on clothing and household item at thrift stores. Yard sales are great for smaller items, like clothing, household and lawn items, and kids/baby stuff.
