    Why We Thrift + Why You Should, too! (Frugal + Sustainable Living)

    August 10, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Thrifting used to be a dirty word. Why would I go into a thrift store to buy something... used? Perfect new items are right down the street at Target!

    How Frugal Can You Be? A No-Spend Experiment

    March 3, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Like all good conversation topics (joking), this idea came to me when someone asked in a Facebook group "Is there such a thing as a 'how-cheap-can-I-be? calculator?". I immediately looked to my husband to see if he could build a fancy pie chart pivot table spreadsheet, and alas, that wasn't what I got. Instead, he replied with some no-nonsense advice. "YA NEED A BUDGET!" Practical, true. Realistic, yes. But how do you calculate just how frugal can you be? Let's take this "how frugal can you be?" question into experiment mode!*

    How to Enjoy Frugality

    February 25, 2020 / 0 Comments

    Living frugally does not mean that you need to deprive yourself of everything enjoyable. Yes, you're out to save money but that doesn't mean you can't have stuff. As a frugal minimalist, our life feels luxurious. How?Our basic needs are met and we make our "wants" intentional. We view frugality as already having abundance, not deprivation. We enjoy our frugal lifestyle.

    In a world of excess, it pays off to take a hard look at your spending habits. Society tells us "Buy more and save!", but really, you'll save 100% if you don't buy that product at all. So what do you spend money on every month in this "buy-more" world? Are you spending more than you make? Can you think of any areas of excess spending you can trim back? All of these questions can be answered with a spending audit.
