We were poor, Mom and Dad lived every day showing us what it meant to ‘make it do’ and we often ‘did without’ Here are my thoughts on frugal ways to make things do. Take care of your wardrobe to keep it looking work and wear worthy. You Tube can show you how to do most everything these days.

Based on most of your 8 loads or less, this works out to a six-month supply. But for those of you doing 12, 14 and 17 loads it won’t last quite as long! But hey, six bottles of free detergent almost makes doing laundry bearable! If that doesn’t work, I try soaking overnight.

Americans pride themselves on their ‘Yankee ingenuity’ – making do or doing without. It is hard work living off the land. A back up way to generate my own electricity (generator or solar panels with batteries) – to power my refrigerator/freezer and my wood stove fan.
