Save and Conquer

Our article, Home Maintenance Tips, was listed in the Festival of Frugality #124 at Frugal for Life. This festival is always large, and it is easy to find some exceptional posts.

Think Your Way to Wealth has a long list of frugal ideas in 30 Ways To Save on Your Grocery Shopping and Food Bill. One of the ways, “go fishing,” reminds me that our son has been asking me to take him. There are other frugal tip lists, as well, such as I’ve Got a Little Space to Fill’s Just Hack it post. My favorite part of her post is actually the opening quote from the Great Depression, “Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make It Do or Do Without.” That’s awesome.

There’s a good post at Lightening Online about buying second-hand clothes at Making Second Hand Clothing “Trendy.” We have been lucky that some really good friends of ours have a son who is six or seven years older than ours. We have gotten boxes and boxes of his stuff. Our son is VERY used to second-hand, and doesn’t seem to notice or care.

I very much liked Cheap Healthy Good’s analytical article titled, “The Ultimate Guide to Understanding the Food Crisis: How it Started, Who it Hurts Most, and How to Solve the Problem.” She has some good suggestions for solving the crisis.

There are many more interesting and frugal posts, so please take some time to visit the Festival when you can.

Stumble it!
