What I Spent This week I stopped in at Lidl and I bought a pretty large container of greens. And I am proud to say that I have single-handedly eaten almost the entire container, largely by eating a bowl of greens with my breakfast. I made a green salad on the side. So, just $60 this week for Miss Zoe and me.

It is a perfect fit for me, as frugality is my hobby and passion, but I also find myself very attracted to the “go green” movement. The fact that the Prairie EcoThrifter focuses heavily on both topics – frugality and green living – really appealed to me. Think that is counter-productive to my frugal lifestyle?

If you’re frugal, you’ll likely take steps to save money such as not using disposable products like paper napkins and paper towels. Of course, this makes sense.
