Hey all! I love this thread. It has gotten me to mend up a bundle of stuff I wouldn't have. The other day I FINALLY found the black velcro I'd lost in the sewing room (it had fallen on the floor...

bke, perhaps DS would like to make a few bucks by setting up or staffing the sale!

Great on the groceries, Kat. We're terrible about grocery savings opportunities. We just buy.

Grateful for a well-timed day off, and the fortitude to keep from doing anything work-related. Ok, I peeked at my e-mail, but didn't read through them or respond to anything. But this day was...

The comments are as interesting as the article, and reminded me of our little community here. "Who could become financially independent? Impossible. For elites." But books like YMOYL and Getting...

That Meatless Mondays is something really concrete, Azure! Yummy pasta idea!

I want to echo what redfox offered. When my mom went back to school she arranged with my dad for him to take on a much bigger piece of the domestic pie than he previously had been doing. He started...

Interesting to think about. I have been feeling badly that I didn't bring more food for BiL when my SiL was recently in the hospital, but I have two competing feelings inside me. 1) I know they are...

You do look cold, though . . . your hands are clenched! Thanks for the tips!

Kestra's thread has inspired me. :) DH and I are thinking about doing the classic American road trip, the trip to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons, with a stop at Rushmore or other sites along the way....

iforonwy, are you talking about Thrift Core's shop on Etsy or the Thrift Core blog?

If it's the store on Etsy, I think it's items she has found that she is reselling on Etsy. People sell their...

I do not personally think it would work well. Extract is often mostly alcohol, and oils are much more potent. Plus both are expensive so I'd hate to see you waste your extract on it. Anyone else...

Love this! Sometimes it's hard to see something as having another purpose. Even though it wasn't a LAUNDRY basket you spied, you were open to the possibilities!

Yes, Bayfield and the Apostle Islands (Madeleine Island is one of them) are nice and lots to do there, especially water-based activities. I am not so sure they fit the criteria of within a day's...

Florence, do you have shoe repair shops near you? They should be able to do the bag as well. Some dry cleaners do repairs too. My in-laws had someone come out to fix a grandfather clock. I am not...

Larknm, stick with it, they both sound important.

Shadowmoss, I am smiling over the idea of a yarn store in Honduras :). Not sure why!

I am so close on the pegboard organizer. It has taken a...

I have not used a spreadsheet either, but I used Moneydance program for tracking, which I learned about in the former incarnation of the boards.

Superb on the fabric bags, Kat!

Is there anything your kitty can take for the urinary issues? Once I cat sat and had to add a cranberry powder to the cats' f food to help with something like that,...

Kongs for the pups, headphones for you?

Hi all,

I have a frugal I've been holding in my head for a while. It's funny how many of them are really just NOT buying stuff. We ordered a Waterhog rug for our heavy traffic back door area. ...

Tiam, you sound super discouraged and anxious about this, like you are holding it together outwardly but inside you feel like a total mess. We've had some kids like that - on the outside at school...

Cool, everyone! Kat, I call keeping up a success in and of itself! :)

I have not finished anything else either, but I did two baby tasks on the community garden plot tonight: raked around the...

WOOOOHOOOO!

Aww Kat, that sucks. :( I will encourage you, but be sad alongside you. I do think the others are right, though. This is where I fantasize about having time to do Ana White projects - or rather,...

Got a haircut!

I'm thinking about going on a short retreat in June. DH will be on his fishing trip, I'll be emerging from a busy season at work, the dogs can go to my mom & dad's house. I am not sure where to go,...
