What I read: This week I am reading The Game by Laurie R. King. Luckily my library has almost all of the books in this series, so I will be reading Ms. King's work for awhile. Emma (15 years old) finished The Light Between Oceans (and came sobbing into my room after she read it....this… Continue reading Weekly Recap (2/28/2020)

Frugal February Week 3 Update

February 22, 2020 The Thrifty EducatorLeave a comment

This was another rather easy week in my opinion. We were out of town for the weekend so that helped with the food budget quite a bit. I purposely put an exclusion into my Frugal February rules that said we did not have to count any eating out costs we incurred when traveling out of… Continue reading Frugal February Week 3 Update

  What I read: This week I read The Wednesday Wars, Ready Player One (I really tried to like this book, but it was just so boring to me), and I am currently reading The Murder of Mary Russell (which I am loving!)

This week was a pretty easy week once again. I notice on the weeks that we are busier, we tend to spend less money....weird, but true. Also, staying out of stores (and off of Amazon) is the easiest way to not spend money when you are on a spending fast #captainobvious Cheap things we did… Continue reading Frugal February Week 2 Update

    What I read: This week I read The Light Between Oceans, The Beekeeper's Apprentice, and am currently reading Before the Fall. A lot of people have recommended The Light Between Oceans to me over the years, so when I saw it in our library's used book room for $.25, I figured I should… Continue reading Weekly Recap (2/15/2020)

Frugal February Week 1

We had a pretty low-key week. My husband was out of town for most of the week, so that means we ate less food than we normally do and used less electricity. You never really think about how many resources each additional person in your home consumes until they are absent for awhile. **Of course… Continue reading Frugal February Week 1

What I read: This week, I read Dreaming Spies by Laurie King. My library's eBook lending system only had the later books available, so I started at book 13 (which so happens to be one of her best apparently) The series is about a young woman named Mary Russell who is married to the great… Continue reading Weekly Recap (Feb. 7, 2020)
