13 Wild Edibles I Found Outside Therapy Today!
I arrived at therapy a little early today (since I’m the type to run late, I try to aim to arrive 30 minutes early, just to be on the safe side) and as I was about to enter the building I saw this beautiful patch of wood sorrel, one of my kids’ favorite wild edibles, […]
Some Free Food I Got and How I Used It
I love getting free food. (Who doesn’t?) The other week I was lucky, because after a local charity organization finished giving out the food they brought to the recipients, anyone was able to come take what they wanted, and my friend Ewa let me know that they had some great stuff. I’m so grateful that […]
Yay! Free Books!
I want to apologize for not having posted for far too long. I feel terrible about it, like I’ve let you down big time. I am going to try to be more on top of posting- I’m chock full of ideas for posts, with many partially written posts, but I need to actually find the […]
Our Frugal Annual Desert Camping Trip
My family had a wonderful camping trip in the desert and I wanted to share about it with you. This is an event the family and I look forward to every year. This year was our largest camping trip yet. We were 4 families instead of the 2 we started with. There’s something nice about […]
All Ready To Go Camping!
As a parent living on a low budget and until recently without a car, there were many experiences from my childhood that I wished I could give to my kids, but were untenable. However, we went camping every summer, and often twice, and that was something that I knew could be done frugally with my […]
What I Did With a Huge Amount of Scallions and Other Free Produce
I live in a community with an overall low socioeconomic status, and because of that, I’m lucky in that there are charities that deliver food that either is close to the expiration date, banged up, otherwise look bad, or are mixed with spoiled produce, so you need to pick through them to find the good […]
Free Groceries and What I Did With Them
When I was putting these groceries on my counter to photograph them, my kid asked me why I was doing that, why I’m putting free things I’m given, because not everyone is able to get free things like this, and what am I teaching people by posting these things? So I wanted to address that […]
Recent Frugal Accomplishments
My recent frugal accomplishments are now back to our regularly scheduled programming! I tried to post this a week after my last one so you could see how much I got done in a week, but time flew by, so instead of I have three (or is it 4?) weeks’ worth of frugal stuff. It’s fun […]
Recent Frugal Accomplishments
I used to do this weekly, writing about the frugal accomplishments I had done over the past week. But then life got busy, and life got unfrugal, and I didn’t have much to write… And then I started this up again, a few weeks of frugal activities in one post so I looked more accomplished… […]
Free Food! Yay!
In my town there are a lot of families that aren’t well to do financially, in large part because of having many children without a large income, so there doesn’t end up being much money per family member. Because of this, we have various charities that distribute food to people, often food that nears its […]
