I need new glasses. It doesn’t seem possible as I got my last pair only about a year and a half ago, but it’s true. I find myself making the text very big on my computer screen and holding books at knee length in order to read. Though we have a great eye plan, it […]
I’m amazed by how many supermarkets there are within a five mile radius in my town. Two strip malls featuring major supermarket chains are even right next door to each other. While it’s nice to be able to see where the sales are, I’m not always impressed by the vegetables. Ideally I like to buy […]
I’m trying to organize my house a bit as it’s getting a little untidy. My son’s stuff is the biggest offender. What to do with all his old stuff? I’ve been freecycling a lot of the old clothes and toys, but there are some items that are rather used and worn and I don’t […]
One of my biggest challenges lately is using up leftovers. With only three of us, you can imagine there’s something left over from dinner. Normally, I cook a meal to last two nights. Many times there’s something leftover but not enough to make a meal. I don’t want to throw it away, but I […]

If you’re like most of us, you have a cup or container designated to contain spare chage. I have a glass bowl on my dresser and a five gallon jar in the garage. Some of the spare change is used for milk money or parking meters. Every now and then we’ll roll up all […]

1. Make a tub sofa. I love this, from Makezine.com
2. Along those same lines is this bath chair found at Tree Hugger.
3. […]
This weather has been so whacky! It’s mid October and usually on the Northeast Coast it means sending kids to school in light jackets. My son is still going to school in shorts. It’s so warm my grape hyacinth are coming up and I’m still harvesting tomatoes and peppers. I have lots of tomatoes! Mostly […]
A few months ago at my son’s birthday party, several of his friends came in carrying a huge gift. It was a fort kit, but one he could actually build himself without any help. If there’s anything my son likes, it’s building stuff, and putting furniture together and emptying out the linen closet to make […]
It’s been going down to the 40’s at night here in the Northeast. While we’re not quite ready to turn on the heat, it’s a reminder that the cold weather will soon be upon us. Whether it’s weather proofing your home or cozying up to your honey, Simply Thrifty is pleased to present you with […]
