My family loves garlic in their food and I love to put it in everything when I'm cooking. The more garlic the better is my motto, but I know that is not true for everyone. There are so many recipes with garlic in them and that makes me a happy person!

Today, it’s been 14 years since I first hit “publish” on a Frugal Girl post. Me about a year into blogging, in a Goodwill dress. In case you were interesting, I started out my blog by sharing a photo of a skirt I made by refashioning some pants.

Another month of 2022 is in the books and another month of frugal-ing. My found money in August was made up of a lot of little amounts and unfortunately, was not as high as in previous months. For starters, I didn’t donate plasma this month and that is usually my biggest source of extra cash.

I love going far away from home, but this also comes with the price of being on the plane for long periods of time. This means, the more comfortable you can get, the better you flight will be. I'm not talking about taking off your shoes and socks and stretching out an annoying your seatmates.

Prolific Christian author Michael Stickler spent months meticulously writing his first book and trusted the publisher to sell it. When that didn’t happen, Stickler and his writing mentor, Art Ritter, took a deep dive into the world of publishing. What they found was “a mess,” Stickler said in a recent interview. You had some old school publishers still selling the myth that all you had to do is hand off your manuscript and then sit back while the checks rolled in,” Stickler said.

If you are a frequent driver, then changing a fossil fuel car for an electric one can have huge benefits. Aside from no longer having to buy petrol (a great bonus considering the skyrocketing fuel prices), an electric car emits an average of 60% less CO2 than a petrol-powered car with an exhaust. This makes electric driving a durable, sustainable choice! And if you also own your own solar panels, then things get really interesting.

I am loving the Kroger coupons I am gettting for Rotisserie Chicken. I have been matching them with the 2/$10 sale that has been going on at Kroger. There are so many things you can do with Rotisserie Chicken besides just serving it for dinner straight out of the container.

When I lived at my last house, I did try to join a Buy Nothing group but sadly, I was a little too far outside the lines of any current groups. In case you haven’t heard of them: Buy Nothing groups are hyper-local Facebook groups where people give things away (and also sometimes ask for stuff).

I first spied this bookshelf on Facebook Marketplace, where it was listed for $15. And I thought to myself, “Ummm, nope. Not paying cash for a shelf that looks that dirty!” ” But then a little bit later, I saw the same shelf pop up on my Buy Nothing group.

I am writing this post while aboard a flight to Paris. This wouldn't be interesting at all, except for the fact that I'm doing it on a brand new airline. Play Airlines just started flying this year and we took a chance on some really cheap flights when they went on sale last December.

According to a CNBC survey, 1 in 10 people invests in cryptocurrencies. Some of the reasons for this are the excitement that these transactions bring, the fact that it’s easy to make trades, and crypto’s potential for short-term high growth. Moreover, many people get cryptos because they are encouraged by friends, family, or social media personalities. Meanwhile, businesses love using ICOs because these allow them to raise capital very fast, especially if they are start-ups.

In my efforts to beautify my rental home, I’ve done a bunch of small white painting projects, but none of them really warranted their own post. So you get a round-up today! Two plant pots. This small one is from Goodwill, I think, and the original spray paint coat had chipped off pretty badly.

Former Congressman Ric Keller admits that chasing after the family of bears that scampered across his front lawn wasn’t the brightest decision. He had taken an educated risk to prolong his view of something breathtaking, and after the experience, it occurred to him that, metaphorically, “chasing the bears” is exactly what more people needed to do. Most people are content to stay inside, play it safe and look out their windows as life passes them by,” Keller said. Eventually, the clock runs out.

This first one is making me unreasonably happy. ??. I spray-painted my mailbox flag. The mailbox here at my rental is past the flower of its youth, and the flag in particular was showing the mailbox’s age. I looked at it one day and thought, “Hmm, it would be sweet if I could paint that.”
