Lately my husband and I have been talking about a house...not just any house but our dream house... one that we could own. We don't make a lot of money. We don't have a lot of debt. However, we have little savings and some things that do need paid off. We need to be super frugal to achieve our goal. I need to constantly ask myself...do we need this or want this? Most of our money goes to buy things we want, not need. I hate to think of how much money we've wasted over the years.
I'm trying to kick off our September spending freeze with a list of things that make me feel frugal...here they are...
Hanging my laundry
Using cloth diapers and wipes
Making a pizza from scratch
Driving past Wendy's after a long day and coming home to cook
Avoiding the grocery store for two weeks
Using only two bags of trash a week for a family of seven!
Buying in bulk
Not looking at the ads in the newspapers
Driving past Goodwill and yard sales!!!

Sounds like your doing a great job! Feel free to link up with me on Fridays in September to let us know how your doing with your spending freeze!
Good luck!
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in
it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit,
but other than that, this is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I will definitely be back.
