We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). Buy one then sell, donate or exchange it. Search the attic, the backs of the closets, the garage and see what inspiration presents. Dad’s old cowboy hat and a rope from the garage can be the start of a cowboy get up.

If you happen to have an extensive library of DVD’s at home, consider donating them to the library so others can live a little bit thriftier as well. Renting out your garage or backyard for RV or classic car owners could bring in $25 to $150 per month, depending on the space you allocate. Avoid Consumerism.

If I could spend it without strings, I might just donate it to a food pantry. He got his roofing urges out when he build our garage last year though!) My kids would also rather have 3 small cookies over a single big cookie (worth 4-6 cookies) – it feels like more! _ I have what I need right now.

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. Pack what you can!
