Another month has come and gone. Is it just me or are they going just a little bit faster each month? At the end of each month I like to share with you some ways I saved money over the month. I also love to hear how you saved! We are in the frugal living/living on a budget adventure together and I love to share encouragement. 1- There is a food/ice cream stand near my church that offers a free sundae with food purchase to moms on Mother's Day. We always stop there after church on Mother's … [Read more...]
Living Well on a Tight Budget
It's well known that we live on a pretty tight budget. There are lots of things we don't do or purchase because we just plain don't have the money for them. However, that doesn't mean we never get to enjoy the good things or only get to buy low-quality items. Sure, there are times when we are frustrated by the things we can't afford to do or buy. Most of the time, however, we are able to live quite well. There are many different methods of living well on a tight budget. Here are just a few of … [Read more...]
The Magical Power of Spray Paint- My Frugal Secret Weapon
We were given some child-sized plastic chairs. They sat in a shed for years and then sat in our shed for another year. Abby wasn't big enough for them last year. This year she is so I had Matt pull them out. They looked a little worse for the wear so I scrubbed them down. I even used a magic eraser. They still looked horrible grungy and dirty. I asked Abby what she thought and we decided to paint them. We decided on pink and green. Unfortunately, our store didn't have the right shade of green in … [Read more...]
Why Turning 29 Seems Harder Than Turning 30
I'm turning 29 this month. On the 27th to be exact. I've always been a birthday lover. I love to celebrate. I love all the free coffee coupons I get in the mail. ;) I love to have an excuse to do whatever I want to do (well, to a certain extent, of course). I make a big deal about my daughter's birthday too. But this year I'm just not feeling it. Instead of looking forward to my birthday this year, I'm dreading it a bit. I don't feel like I am where I wanted to be by this point in my life. I … [Read more...]
Frugal Cleaning with e-cloth
(I received a complimentary e-cloth to review for you! All opinions are my own.) About a month and a half ago I was approached by e-cloth to review one of their cleaning cloths, the Kitchen Cloth (and I get to offer one to one of you wonderful readers!). I was seriously excited! The e-cloth claims that you can clean with just water. This is because of a special combination of polyester and polyamide. The fibers are supposedly so strong and close together they can pick up more dirt and grime … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Garden for Cheap
I don't know about where you live but it is finally getting warm enough here to start thinking about planting our garden. We don't have a large garden but it's big enough for us. I actually don't even enjoy gardening. It's my husband's thing. Weeding and planting have a way of making me angry. I'm fine with watering, pruning, picking, canning, and freezing but weeding and planting irritate me to no end. I'm sure you already know that gardening can save you money on vegetables. That's pretty … [Read more...]
