Your daughter is set for life with this going on around her and her being involved.<br />I was brought up by parents and grandmothers that were resourceful, frugal and canny and I turned my back on it and 'forgot' it - but a few years ago when the penny dropped and we changed the way we were living, all those lessons from my parents and grandmothers started coming back. To this day I remember things, nearly as if it is still all there just awaiting a reason to be remembered and used.Phil Poggeauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528068263542083696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-86709697843186923022018-09-21T01:45:34.418-04:002018-09-21T01:45:34.418-04:00So true.

I just got a like new in the box Oster blender in red! My kitchen color. My mother in law's friends get rid of so much and everyone knows I will take it and if I can't use it I have friends or put it on our FREE FB page for our area. Why buy new all the time. Let someone else pay the price. So many people get more than they need or the latest and greatest and then never or barely use the item. We will gladly take it. There is always someone in need. Oh, and our pantry that I get on sale has helped us through many lean months. Take care. I really enjoy your blog and how you and your daughter do things. You have taught her so many good skills over the years. Be proud of the young woman she has become.Crystal Hankeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17914175004653234554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-4282815152665112932018-09-20T09:29:10.129-04:002018-09-20T09:29:10.129-04:00Love this post and so very true.

I'm just careful when I do.

No problem for me. I will be quicker next time. Helpful post. Often finding another way to accomplish the same for nothing or much less will place food on the table and/or clothes on someone's back. thyme2Bthriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814205711340836067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-32422598582044986402018-09-18T14:28:14.305-04:002018-09-18T14:28:14.305-04:00There was a time I had to live very frugally out o...There was a time I had to live very frugally out of necessity. Now I could splurge a little bit if I wanted, but I choose not to. Living simply makes it easier to live frugally because I don't need a lot of stuff to be happy.Nil @ The Little House by the Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05812637017406376233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-78852977140430768362018-09-18T12:59:46.385-04:002018-09-18T12:59:46.385-04:00I love coming up with ways to be creative and make...I love coming up with ways to be creative and make things or upcycle things.
