Kids Thwarting Frugality
You try to be frugal. You try to pinch pennies. But you’re a mom. And your kids thwart you.

Menu Planning- Extreme Frugality Style
Today’s Monday, the day where throughout the bloggosphere, people get their act together and post their menu plans for the next week. Occasionally I do the same, but I prefer sharing my menus in retrospect. I thought you might appreciate my train of thought and menu alterations that I make because of my extremely frugal […]
