The Frugal Girl

SEPTEMBER 19, 2023

I’ve been faithfully packing my lunches My building at the college has an in-house Chick Fil A, and in my two years of attending classes there, I’ve managed to not buy food there at all. But now I’m often at college over lunchtime, so I’ve been needing to pack food to eat during breaks. So far, so good!

We do put up decorations (ones I buy at garage sales or thrift stores and reuse each year). If you sew, take off the buttons, zippers, lace, netting or whatever to use later. We passed around pieces of food in the dark and told a story about how the pieces were parts of a body. Tip # 2 Recycle/reuse costumes.

We have accumulated a lot of stuff – lose screws, highly prized collectibles, everyday essentials, clothes that ‘might fit again someday’, tools, children’s artwork, food stuffs and more. Store food in the kitchen or as close to it as possible. Share with others in the household when you move or remove things.

My mother was loving and worked so hard to provide for us, but it was frequently a struggle to get food, keep heat on, and other necessities. things on Buy Nothing first and then thrift stores or Facebook marketplace, so I found a good play kitchen on marketplace when my little wanted one. Out of necessity originally.
