Saving Cents With Sense

JUNE 4, 2013

Gather your soap and buckets and offer to wash the neighborhood dogs for free or for a small donation you donate to your local shelter. Go bird watching at a nearby park. Watch a local sports team practice, or enjoy a free game if one is offered. Watch the stars at night and look for various constellations.

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

JANUARY 14, 2015

I don’t freeze food in the used bags, but do use them for leftovers in the frig. Before throwing away old clothing, I snip the buttons off and remove working zippers (unless I’m donating the item). My Mother-in-law always washed hers out and dried them and then used them again. Two liter soda bottles. Clothes pins.

The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 13, 2023

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.
