    Default New Girl from Wisconsin

    Hey, Everyone! It's good to be with like-minded people. I have 4 kids, a husband, and a dog, and man, is it ever expensive! I learned a few years back that us frugal folks can really make things work. We garden and cook a lot of things from scratch, and we're not too good for quality second hand stuff. Our big family warranted a new home, so we contracted it ourselves and saved so much cash. I feel sometimes, though, that I have frugalled myself out and am excited to learn some new ideas.

    Maybe it is that extra man that is racking up the expenses.

    Madhen, that is too funny. First lesson of frugality, don't keep the extra men on the side...get's too pricey!

    Welcome, you'll find all kinds of great ideas here! You'll enjoy it!
