| Blog: Balancing Thrifty And Fun
This blog will ramble on about raising two boys while working full time as an editor for ThriftyFun. I'm really lucky in so many ways. I have a loving, hardworking husband, a not too heavily mortgaged home, and two healthy and bright boys. But it is still hard, despite my blessings. I thought I'd share my challenges and my techniques (or lack thereof) for staying ahead of the wave of chores, responsibilities and financial problems. |

Almost Free Trees
Friday, March 13, 2009
Hey, I was looking into replacing a dogwood tree that we planted a couple of years ago. I think the frost killed it off last year and there are no shoots coming from the bottom. So there was $70.00 down the drain.
I was looking for cheaper alternatives to nursery or garden center prices when I found the site for the Arbor Day Foundation.

If you become a member, they will GIVE you 10 trees, including dogwoods. And the individual prices on trees, even if you aren't a member are very reasonable. I was looking at a dogwood for about $16.
