We don't have a pantry closet, so I use several cupboards in my kitchen for food storage and some shelves in my garage for any overflow.

If you don’t have enough money to put food on the table, you are going to do something about it. But, in college, I spent my summer earnings – on clothes, on a used car and on school activities.

Today a poor person in America probably has access to electricity, telephones, food, indoor plumbing, central heat and public transportation. When the ears were full and ripe she would pull one down and let me make a doll – using the cob for the body, the silk for the hair and the husk for the clothing. it was A-OK with me.

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. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.
