Back to my Frugal Ways
I used to be one of the most frugal people I knew, even taugh classes on Frugal ways. Then I "rose to the level of my income" and forgot what being Frugal was. Now my level of income has necessitated me to re-assert those Frugal ways!!
How did you hear about frugal village? Googled "FRUGAL"
What interests you here? Recipes and other frugal tips
What will you contribute? Anything I can!
Do you know any other members here? I don't think so.
How many kids? Ages? 4 kids... B 14, B 12, B 9, G 4
Tell us about yourself. Went back to work after being a SAHM for 14 years last year and trying to cope with less time and more to do.
Do you own any pets? Yes, a loving Guinea Pig named Lucy.
Occupation? Stocking slave for large retailer
Married or single? Married (16 years to my Prince)
Interests and hobbies? Scrapbooking, Reading, Belly dancing.
That's me!

" May we never let the things we can’t have or don’t have or shouldn’t have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it. One of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have."
