Ok, so I’m a day late - but hopefully not a dollar short. I actually had this ready for posting yesterday and forgot. Folks, this is what happens when you reach your 40’s.
So we’re about to end the summer with a long, holiday weekend. My family won’t be going away. We’re working on […]
Just in time for back to school: Thrifty Mommy, Kelly Saunders, has a Coupon Code up good for 10% off at Old Navy. I can’t tell you how disappointed I am to see this code today! I just finished a major back to school shopping frenzy and a 10% coupon would have helped a great […]
To me, the pleasure of making food from scratch has nothing to do with frugality. It has everything to do with preparing some wonderful foods for my loved ones. Knowing that my family is eagerly awaiting Christmas so they can each get a load of my famous zucchini bread or peanut butter cookies is […]
If you’re a regular to one of my other blogs, you’re probably sick and tired of hearing me gripe about the regular power outages I’m experiencing as a result of living across the street from a construction site. Thanks to the building of thirty some-odd overpriced McMansions, my power keeps going. I learned something very […]
Hi there,
In the past couple of weeks, I’m finally beginning to see some of my Simply Thrifty community. Thank you so much for all of your comments and kind emails! I’d like to make this more of a group participation blog, however. Welcome to Thursday’s Thrifty Tips. Every Thursday I’ll throw out a topic, usually […]
One sign of a true cheapskate is all of the ziplock bags hanging over the dish drain. If a bag didn’t contain raw meat, I don’t have any problems washing and reusing them. While I use these bags to freeze sauce and contain leftovers, I found one more use for them.
My family likes to go […]
When I was 20 years old, I moved out of my parents house and into an overpriced hovel in New York City to begin a new life. While I worked in a big, cushy publishing office, my paycheck was anything but. As a result I subsisted on a steady diet of Ramen Noodles and […]
Thanks for such a positive response to my posts 100 Things You Can Make Yourself and 100 More Things You Can Make Yourself. The comments are fun and the response has been overwhelming. Over 50 Diggs! I’m saddened by the amount of people who are cutting and pasting the list to their own blogs. I […]
My last list of 100 things you can make yourself received mixed reviews. Many were quick to point out that doing it yourself doesn’t necessarily mean doing it cheaper. Others felt some of the items on the list, such as maple syrup or bacon, were flat out ridiculous. Perhaps they were. Do take these lists […]
Convenience is certainly…well…convenient. Take a trip to just about any type of store and notice how everything is packaged and prepared. It seems the more we advance, the more stuff is done for us. I don’t mind letting someone else do all the work for me, the problem is of course, that convenience is expensive […]
