New to this lifestlye...

Hello from Alabama
For the last few days, I've looked around a bit...I've been quite impressed with the amount of savings ideas and tips.
Ok, Here's the questionaire part:
How did you hear about frugal village? On Google.
What interests you here? Living a more "frugal" lifestyle with less waste, and of course, saving money.
What will you contribute? No clue at this point...Hopefully I'll figure out something positive to contribute.
Do you know any other members here? Not yet.
How many kids? Ages? Two. One is 12, and the other is 21.
Do you own any pets? Yes. Three dogs...1 Rottweiler, 1 German Shepherd, and 1 Husky/Chow mix. Yep, I have my hands full...
Occupation? At this point, Homemaker
Married or single? Married
Interests and hobbies? My most favorite ones are Cooking and reading.

Aloha from Hawaii!! Glad you joined us!!
Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.
