If you make this one simple change, you will reduce your grocery spending substantially. All of which I regularly find at the thrift store.

I would like to pursue higher education in some way, maybe a History PhD, or a library science degree? Easiest: Giving up things that don’t align with my personal values. One of my friends in my book club lives about 20 minutes from our city limits and does not have access to a free library membership!

Shop around at garage sales, thrift stores and online classifieds for furniture and other household items. Ask around, see if someone you know may have an extra of something they’re not using and don’t need so they’d be happy to give it to you. Create a weekly menu, then buy the groceries, and cook dinner every night.

Luckily, my little is starting to enjoy some of these activities – like picking the peaches from our tree, grocery shopping, baking/cooking, and gardening and I love spending time with her doing these activities too! I try to get (and give!) What’s one thing you aren’t remotely tempted to splurge on?
