One thing I’m adamant about, however, is that my son not spend the whole trip buried in a Nintendo DS , or using some other electronic gadget. But also don’t want him to think that a road trip means hours straight of electronic stimulation. Family road trips are all about the games — or at least they used to be.

Electronics TVs, mobile phones, computer paraphernalia, laptops, cameras and other gadgets can be sold as used or even broken. Many people have old electronics lying around the house that are deemed useless, but they can be a good source of extra cash. Numerous websites are dedicated to buying these used electronics.

Family Balance Sheet
APRIL 6, 2016
Trap rain water and use to water your plants and garden. Choose drought tolerant plants for your landscape. That is close to what an average family spends on food in one month. Power down the electronics when they’re not in use. Use an inexpensive power strip to plug your electronics in at one central place.

We installed a filter for our drinking water, and now my family longer needs bottled water. Plant a Garden. Plant three or four things, just to get started. The added plants will help with the air quality around your home, and you’ll save money by growing your own food. Stop with the Bottled Water. Go Low-Flow.
The Frugal Girl

I seriously overextended on planting and underestimated how much work my dad used to do so hopefully I’ve learned from my mistakes & will not kill myself in the garden this year! I was born frugal, into a super frugal family. We have significant food restrictions so sourcing our own is helpful health-wise & cost-effective too.

If you are an environmentalist, you might be wondering what your other options are besides toxic chemicals that will kill the critters, hurt the environment, and pose a danger to your own family and pets. Don’t put anything in your garden that you would not want you, your family, your pets or your neighbors to drink in your water!
