The Frugal Girl

I got my shoes repaired On one of the days last week when I got dressed up, I wore a pair of heels and as I was walking back to the parking garage, the rubber heel tip disintegrated and fell off. So, I dropped the shoes off at the mall shoe repair shop and paid $15 to have new heel tips put on.

Store the bigger tools in the garage or hall closet in the larger bag for home repairs and improvement projects. Keep the smaller bag in the car or truck to hold the tools and accessories you need for highway emergencies and simple automotive repairs on the road. You can use the Tool Bag Combo together or separately.

Two “small” ones come to mind- my first car & first motorcycle-owned for a while, did a few small repairs & sold for what I paid. Electronics/beauty products/new furniture or household items (I’m using things left by my grandparents & living in their house, have done some changes & repairs but free/thrift is excellent).

Home repairs, construction, electrical, auto repair, technology – he’ll try anything after suitable research of YouTube and other resources. I should have known he was special as he asked for a set of “Time-Life” home repair books when he was in college. My best frugal win is marrying my husband.

When I first approached him about paying off these debts early, he said to me, “it’s not going to happen by clipping coupons. This side hustle income was mainly used for the fun stuff, such as camping, home renovations & repairs, and needs for our kids. We need to increase our income.” Small home = Low Expenses.
