This morning, I did a post over at Guerrilla Parenting about my disgust at the fly problem we’ve had around here, lately. I forgot to mention the annoyingly itchy mosquito bite I have on my cheek, or the ant invasion, in the post. I asked Marye, my very knowledgeable, fellow mother of a large brood, […]
A thought hit me today, as I stood in the shower, rinsing out the excess body wash from my scrubby thing. I always have a lot of left over lather in my scrubby thing, after washing all of my body parts. It just seems wasteful to rinse it out, but how else can I keep from having […]
The fourth of July is my husband’s favorite holiday. His family has always gotten together for a huge potluck (I say ‘huge’ because it is at least 40 people strong,) and a night time fireworks display. However, times have changed and most of his family goes camping at the beach, now. Since gas prices and […]
I was reading up on how to save money, when I saw a link that piqued my interest. It was a quiz that determines whether or not you are a compulsive shopper. I took it just to make myself feel better that there are really people worse off than I am, when it comes to spending. I […]
I did not come to this blog to teach. I am not a thrift guru. Think of me as a student on a journey to reach a higher level of enlightenment. I have to start somewhere, right? My posting may not always be the source of new and innovative thrifty ideas, as I am still […]
Our family does not watch a whole lot of television. My kids cannot sit still long enough to make it through even one episode of cartoons, without getting up to go find something more stimulating. We do, however, enjoy having movie night, on occasion. We have always been horrible at returning movies and losing them. Every […]
My husband is a naturally frugal man. Raised with twelve siblings, he grew up in a home that barely afforded life’s basic necessities. As you can imagine, being married to a woman such as myself, often makes for his frustration. As far as spending habits go, we are the odd couple. He has to be forced to buy […]
Hey there! My name is Kadi and I am joining the ranks of the Simply Thrifty crew! My family scoffed at me when I told them about my new position on this blog. “Thrifty? You, Kadi?” (followed by thunderous laughter.) Okay, so I haven’t exactly been a spend thrift person all my life. In fact calling […]
Happy Father’s Day to all you frugal (and even you not so frugal) dads out there. Hope you’re enjoying the day and doing whatever you want.
I received a lot of wonderful emails this week. Thank you all for your good wishes! I want to assure many of you that while I did have to lighten […]
Does your library have a summer reading program? Our does. This is the first year my son can be apart of it because he’s in first grade, and he’s looking forward to joining. Since we visit the library every week, we really won’t have to do anything extra.
The summer reading program is nice because […]
