The Frugal Girl

DECEMBER 11, 2023

In my free time I enjoy canning and preserving food (well, I enjoy the results of it, ha!), As a teenager, I saved quite a bit of the money I earned babysitting and working in a dining hall. Over time, I have realized that I had somewhat of an unhealthy way of depending on money for a sense of security and control.

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.

My husband, Alan, and I live in a beautiful area of the northeast that’s full of mountains, lakes, and rivers and is popular with both tourists and second homeowners. We live on the side of a small mountain in a quiet, rural town, but we’re less than 20 miles from a city of about 25,000 people and its shopping and dining opportunities.
