Saving Saturday, September 17th

I wanted to share my beginners' epiphany with ya'll:

It occurred to me to make a list of things I can do in my spare time that don't cost money (or cost very little) rather than shopping. Here's what I've got so far:

1. Read a book
2. Walk the dog
3. Clean the house (what a concept)
4. Groom myself (polish nails, etc. - whatever's beyond the daily routine)
5. Work on gardening project
6. Knit
7. Look for babysitting gigs for times my son's w/his father
8. Teach myself to sew
9. Freecycle things we don't need anymore

I'm experimenting with hand washing my clothing right now. I got the laundry detergent and fabric softner for .98 cent a piece. Washing clothing is less than .50 cent a week including materials and water that way

Great ideas.
