Need to take frugality on a whole new level
Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie on this site (as well as in the US) but I don't consider myself a "frugal novice". However, since my soon-to-be-husband and I just purchased a house, i need to kick it up a big notch!
I will mainly need info in the future on growing stuff and gardening, energy efficient ways to keep up a house.
I can share info on frugal cooking and recipes, baking tricks and DIY craft projects for kids and grown ups.
As for myself, I am a French Canadian from a close knit family that lives in the US. I am still going through some visa paperwork, therefore, I'm not yet on the american job market (but hopefully I can pick this up fairly soon) I love to cook and bake, I love reading and I'm the curious, self learning type. I do not have kids or pets yet but most of my time is to plan x-mas spendings and a wedding on a very tight budget that will occur in just over a month....so a bit stressed out but not out of control yet hehehehe
Anyways, glad to be part of this and I look forward to meet and share valued information with you all.
Keep it up!

to frugal village. Hubby (French Canadian) and I used to live on Conesus Lake before we moved to Michigan. We went through the immigration process. For us the work authorization came fairly quickly compared to permanent residency.
