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. Now, as an adult with her own home and garden, composting is (pathetically?) I love dumping buckets full of organic waste into our homemade bin. Why Compost?

The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

Clark, our cat, the day after we brought him home from the shelter. I know I found The Frugal Girl through the Non-Consumer Advocate, and I’ve read nearly all the archives. This only happened after we stopped owning homes and became renters. The most embarrassing money mistake I’ve made was purchasing a home.
