The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 29, 2024

We’re meeting an Arkansas reader today and initially, I thought she was the first one! Tell us a little about yourself Greetings from the NW corner of Arkansas, where I was born (around 40+ years ago) and raised. We use the eggs, harvest meat & if I can’t get out to hunt venison we’ve had friends give us meat.

Last year, to make a little extra cash, I started boarding dogs through Rover, and I am about to start a very very part time job using my RN license for a home care company. We’re in a semi -rural area within 30 minutes of a few good-sized towns, and within 2-3 hours of several major cities.

I pointed out the multitude of new blogs related to saving money, being frugal, getting debt under control and learning about finances. For so long, we plodded along with next to nothing while our neighbors were running up their charge cards and using home equity loans to take vacations. I remember that we re-used our coffee grounds.
