Hello from Ohio...
I am new to this site, but not new to the idea of living frugal. I've been a single mom of 1 daughter (who next month graduates college) & have been raising her on my own since she was 5.
So, I've had alot of practice with trying everything I could read & learn about living Frugally!
In these down economic times, even people who don't "have to" are becoming interested in living as frugal as possible.
I actually grew up watching my mom and grandmother (who lived thru the Depression era) living frugally, though I'm not sure if they even realized it had a name...
I STILL to this day (much to the amazement & dismay of several of my friends) save aluminum foil to reuse, and Yes I'm ashamed to admit it - paper towels - lol.
So, I have ALOT of experience with these topics, and since one of my newer hobbies is blogging, I will be writing on various subjects as they come up...
I hope to get to know many of you (friend me) & hope I can help someone with any tips or hints that I can think of to post or if you have any to ask.
