I thought I’d share some Frugal Living links that I’ve found helpful recently:

Math Tricks to Keep You Frugal -math is involved in frugality! Need to figure out what 15/25/35% off is or estimate how much money you’ve spent etc. Easy to understand tips. My husband, who is in retail , says that people will routinely ask how much something costs that’s 50% off.
How To thrive In Uncertainty – Besides good tips, I like that the writer suggests that giving when you’re in need helps you to not focus on yourself and your problems.
Freezable Foods-ever wonder what you can stock up on at the grocery store and freeze. I routinely freeze cheese (I’ve frozen brie several times when I’ve come upon some marked down wedges), left over sweetened condensed milk, tortillas, deli meat, all kinds of things can be frozen!
I love the We Paid Cash series over at Money Saving Mom. Testimonials from real people for various things – like getting right side up on our upside down mortgage .
Have a great weekend!
How sad is it that people have to ask how much 50% off is or can’t make change. One day I asked for 12oz of fish at the seafood counter and the clerk asked me how much that was in pounds…very scary:(
thanks for the links, there are some great ones.
I’m learning frugal in a whole new way now!

I was shopping some weeks ago and heard a woman comment
“Huh! Just look at that – last week they were on buy one get one free, this week they’re just 50% off.”
She sounded so disgusted, I just shook my head….what’s the world coming to?
Thanks for the tips:) I am always looking for a way to save! Have a blessed day, HUGS!
Thanks for these links….They are now bookmarked and I’ve already gotten lots of ideas.
I’m all about saving money so THANK YOU. I’m going to the freezing one first.
Your picture of the jar of change is a good one. I put all my change in a jar, I do not use any change when paying cash for something, just bills. So I always have change after shopping. Once a year I take all the change to the credit union and deposit into my savings account. It is over $200 every year. my husband also has about the same amount.
We also do not charge more than we are able to pay off every month. I pay cash when I go shopping, and just use the card for on line shopping. When you know you are paying cash you are a lot more careful about what you buy.
Good stuff!
You have some wonderful tips and the links are greatly appreciated. This is my first visit to your blog, so I’ve taken some time to browse through your earlier entries. I’m so glad I did that. You’ve created a great spot for your reader to visit and I enjoyed the time I spent here. I’ll definitely be back. I hope you have a great day. Blessings…Mary
