The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 18, 2024

I’m 47, married, and living amongst the cornfields in a college town in the Midwest U.S. After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. It became very important to us to create a financial cushion and get beyond living paycheck to paycheck.

Saving Cents With Sense

MARCH 8, 2013

Kids grow out of them so fast that buying them new really is a waste. You can find lightly used clothes and toys at garage sales or thrift stores to save as much as 90 percent off retail, according to LivingOnADime.com, a site dedicated to frugal living.

JANUARY 29, 2024

When my daddy passed last January, I inherited all the heavy farm labor responsibilities- I never knew I could have impressive muscles😊 It feels like I’ve been going to a homesteading college this year, it’s a love/hate relationship. We also grow a large garden & lots of flowers, fruit trees & a 100-year-old grapevine.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). I live in the Great Lakes region, in the same state where I was born. Is there anything unique about frugal living in your area?
