The Frugal Girl
FEBRUARY 18, 2024
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.

2 Side notes: Our local library has a box for coupons. Swap with Friends. Don’t throw out those unused coupons, instead offer them up to swap with your friends, family, and neighbors. Grocery store kiosk – My first stop when I walk into Giant Food Stores is to see what coupons will print for the week.

This week I am participating in a Yakezie blog swap where I am to discuss the topic “ Balancing Frugality and Fun.”. We usually buy food though so it’s not that free. Free books, DVDs, and music from the Library. Our library also hosts occasional Opera and other musical performances. Frugal fun? That’s nuts!
