The Frugal Girl

Clark, our cat, the day after we brought him home from the shelter. Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. This only happened after we stopped owning homes and became renters.

Luckily, enjoying fun and family friendly activities this summer doesn’t have to mean taking out a mortgage on your home to do so. 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. Rent free children’s movies from your local library.

Can’t believe I live here – a lake near my house Because I’ve lived so many different places, I’ve seen first-hand how good use of available resources can really improve overall community experiences, such as community gardens that utilize city-wide composting programs, to libraries, cycling infrastructure.
