I am new here, but wanted to say hello!!! I have gotten away from being frugal/living simply over the past few years but really want to ramp up again!!! This might seem small, but my first "excursion" back into this lifestyle was visiting my local Dollar Tree yesterday (we needed laundry detergent and dishsoap). This particular store has a food (including frozen) section, so I stocked up on freezer items like microwave meals, frozen meatballs, etc. and the entire trip cost me only $14! I saved a bit more after running a load of laundry (we have a building for this with washers and dryers in my apt. complex) and then using my drying rack indoors instead of blowing another $1.50 to dry the load! It dried fine overnight and I put it all away this morning.

Basically I just wanted to say hi! Hope to make this a regular stop in this frugal journey!!! Have a great day everyone!!!
