There’s a very nice article about how people are making ends meet nowadays. It’s not only about moms so don’t be put off by that. Some of the ideas mentioned include:
- Making your own laundry detergent
- Stockpiling
- Using coupons
- Switching to generic brands
- Shopping at Aldi’s
- Cutting back on eating out, cooking more at home.
It’s great to see a “good” spin on being frugal. Usually, when being frugal is mentioned on the news it seems most of the emphasis is on how much you give up not on how much you can gain.
