I haven't posted lately because I feel like my frugals are the same day in and day out. Cook from scratch, bake bread, muffins, etc., use the library, hang laundry, stay home, etc. But the simplicity works; we met our goal of saving half of DH's take home pay in August, despite having to pay our car and home insurance. September won't be quite as good as we had to make a downpayment on my youngest's braces this week.
We're also working on a major clean, organize, and declutter project, and learned that some of the Lego sets we have are worth quite a bit on ebay, so once we finish the project my boys will rebuild the sets just to make sure all the pieces are present, and then we will sell them on ebay. These are the larger sets that were purchased by or gifted to DH, not the boys, so the funds will go into our savings.
