Meet a Reader | JenRR from the Midwest

The Frugal Girl

I’ve been an architect, day-care teacher to toddlers, and library clerk, but am currently a SAHM to a 14yo son and 9yo daughter. After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. Another big win would be taking advantage of our great public library system.

Meet a Reader | Karen from the Great Lakes

The Frugal Girl

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. Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it!
