That's when I really started trying to save money. <br /><br />Now I feel a kinship with her since she has six kids including twins and so do I! :)<br /><br />I just posted the video I was talking about!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122452881477860605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400642517279939408.post-81734595051559584832010-05-22T14:39:09.285-05:002010-05-22T14:39:09.285-05:00Found one from last year:

I love to re-read it as well!<br /><br />I like that F.Z. doesn't just tell you what to do, she encourages you to THINK about how you could be doing things differently.<br /><br />All her kids are grown now! There was a great interview with her not too long ago. I'll have to dig up the link.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12122452881477860605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4400642517279939408.post-59183696516513555552010-05-22T11:41:02.497-05:002010-05-22T11:41:02.497-05:00Shelly, so glad you wrote this AND mentioned
The ...Shelly, so glad you wrote this AND mentioned <br />The Tightwad Gazette. That book is what kick-started my shopping style when I first got married 12 years ago! I pull out the omnibus once a year to read and see if I can glean any more frugal advice I have not incorporated into our life yet. I always think of Amy (The Frugal Zealot) asking how much you would pay yourself to save money and if it's worth it. Ex. If I buy ground round in bulk and then spend ten minutes repacking with my Food Saver, is that worth my time? And yes, I store items in unconventional places in our house--not under the bed but paper toweling is in the hubby's closet and I have a second "pantry" in the basement.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289895960417945429noreply@blogger.com
