    Default Hello from Michigan!

    Hello Everyone!

    I just googled frugal forums and this wonderful site popped up! It will take me a few weeks to make a dent in all the great info you have posted here.

    I am a mother of 4, married to my hubby for 19 years, and we have a cat, a hamster and about 25 or so chickens. I live out in the boonies and have a big garden that I am sometimes even able to keep weeded.

    I am an old hand a frugality but have fallen "off the wagon" a bit recently and think this group will help keep me motivated.

    I hope I am able to contribute some helpful info too!
