Frugal Living
Living a lifestyle that is naturally inclined to saving money. We grow a lot of our own food, make our own recipes, and use what we have responsibly.
High quality recipes that can replace the desire to eat out.
Gardening in a small backyard to produce enough to cut down on the grocery bill year round.
Saving money by decreasing single use items and replacing them with longer lasting alternatives.
Creating a lifestyle that shows the wisdom of living frugally.
