Prairie Eco-Thrifter

JULY 23, 2014

riding lawn mowers, garage door openers and many, many more things we take for granted today. Ours was smaller (about 700 square feet) – 2 bedrooms (my brother and I shared one and my parents the other), a kitchen and a living room, No basement or garage. There were no garage door openers. There was no internet.

I keep a closet in the garage with gifts that I wasn’t so into. Donate your credits to charity (December holiday charities you can choose from include, Toys for Tots, Make-A-Wish Foundation, Ronald McDonald House, Boys & Girls Club, Goodwill). Is that the question? If it is then I am all for it!

It’s not a big splurge, but I take my kids at home out to McDonald’s for lunch once a week. (I’ve He got his roofing urges out when he build our garage last year though!) But then I look in the drawers and realize I just bought 12 pairs of pants when only 5 would do. What’s one thing you splurge on?

In Seattle, going to the hot bar at Whole Foods was the only way we could manage to get a full meal for 2 adults for under $20 and not end up at a place like McDonald’s. Hosting garage sales & reselling items. These options are usually a LOT less than nearby restaurant food. Pack what you can!
