Hello all....
Been perusing the net for different recipes and frugal ways of living. Seems to me the past few months I have been lacking in both of these areas, and now our finances are suffering. Suffering even more so than usual.
We've been spending left and right, without a thought of the consequences, and eating out more so than ever.
It's time to reign this in...
Starting today, I vow to:
- Work on menu plans and stick to them. Have healthy snacks available for the family.
- Use a 30 day plan for "I want vs I need". After 30 days, do I still want it or do we really need it? Is there a cheaper way?
- To get to my sewing machine a bit more.
- Reuse and repurpose.
- Find a church and attend on a regular basis.
Our life seemed to be much more fulfilling when we lived more simply. I miss that.
Tell me...... what do you do to live more simply and how do you make living frugal yet enjoyable?
My family really loves bookstores and thrift/antique stores. We love playing games together and watching movies together. We love to do simple things just being together. I get a kick out of making or doing something myself instead of paying someone else. I hope that helps.
