I grew up in a large family with lots, and I mean LOTS, of hand-me-downs. So learning to be frugal started at a very early age. :) I am always willing to try new ways to be frugal. |
air drying
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
Hello again.....I have been doing an experiment. Long time overdue, but better late than never-right??? I have been air drying everything (laundry) except blue jeans, wash clothes - kitchen/bath, and under garments. Wal-Mart offers an air drying rack for approximately $15.... So we received our electric bill this month, and yes we are on budget billing, and our bill was different by $40 each month. HOW EXCITING!!!!! I have ran my dryer maybe 3 times this past week. The savings alone is nice, but knowing that I helping that little bit more with the environment....is even more exciting.

Vacation
Friday, June 05, 2009
As we are preparing to leave for the weekend...for a one-day getaway to a theme park....we are setting out things from the freezer and preparing meals for our getaway. We have been teased for years for our tendency to pack food, but....I know that packing food is healthier and will help keep our spending budget at hand. Some people are 'embarassed' to pack lunches, but not me!!!! I enjoy having our food prepared when we are ready to eat, snack or drink, rather than standing in line for a fat-filled hot dog/burger. :)
