Apparently, we are not the average family. When the new babe arrives, we will be a family of seven...living on one relatively low income. We pinch pennies and we save and scrimp and go without sometimes, and yet no one (especially not the children) feels deprived. Whether frugality comes naturally to me or whether I've learned to live that way out of neccessity, I'm not sure, but I realized recently that I have frugal ideas to share...and you probably do, too!
So...starting next Thursday, I'm going to begin Thrify Thursday where each week during the summer, I'll give one of my frugal tips. And if there is enough interest, I'll add a place for you to link up to your frugal tips each week, too. The only rule? Share what you know. If I've never personally tried an idea, I won't write about it. The same goes for you, but don't assume an idea is too simplistic. It could be new to someone or it could re-inspire someone else!
If anyone has experience making blog buttons and would like to design one for this weekly feature, contact me. You'll be sure to get credit for your creativity on my blog!
This is TRULY an answer to prayer. I had already thought about something similar to this! I love it! And yes, please put up a link! I'd love to read others ideas and post my ideas!
ReplyDeleteI am NOT naturally frugal. I LOVE that you're going to do this. I need all the help I can get. The only thing I really know to do, is cut coupons, and that is just NOT going to happen in this busy home.
ReplyDeleteThis will be a great feature, Kristin. I am definitely not naturally frugal, but I do try. I look forward to reading your tips and those of others who read here.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I look forward to reading and learning too! (Sometimes you can teach an old dog new tricks.)
