October 23, 2009

I’ve finally decided to get it out there. This way others can hear my story and maybe you can better understand me and where I’m coming from. Little did I know it then, but this is where my frugality began. Rather unwillingly. If you are new to this series, catch up here.I showed up to [...]

Saving Money on Clothes

October 23, 2009

The cool fall air and falling leaves are sure fire signs that winter will soon be here. We will no longer need our flip flop, shorts, or beach towels. Instead, we will need our layers, hats, gloves, scarves, and coats. I’m sure a few extra blankets wouldn’t hurt, either. Bringing all these things out of [...]

October 22, 2009

Last weekend I volunteered to bring a breakfast casserole to a church function. I’ve only ever made a quiche, maybe twice, and didn’t really know what to expect.

Kitchen Disaster: Tackled!

October 20, 2009

I rarely go to bed without all my dishes being done, and the kitchen being relatively clean. Nothing makes me more cranky than waking up to a complete disaster mess. No matter what I do, at that point, I feel like I’m playing “catch-up” for the rest of the day. However, crazy times, call for [...]

Apple Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

October 19, 2009

Our local grocery store keeps having great prices on browning bananas. So much so, I cannot pass them up. I’ve been freezing sliced bananas for us to use in smoothies, but, you can only have so many. I seem to be stuck on making Banana Bread/Muffins with our browning bananas. Quite frankly, I’m ready for [...]
