1. Luggage I ran into Kohl's yesterday to look for good deals on clothing and instead found this set of luggage on clearance for 70% off. Since our current set of luggage is almost 15 years old and starting to get a little threadbare, I decided to scoop this deal up. Oh and it has… Continue reading Frugal Things

Chicken This past week, my dad and my husband decided to process the overabundance of roosters that my dad had accumulated over his past hatchings. I am so glad that they enjoy doing that because I just could not stomach it! My husband brought home five well packaged roosters to stick into our chest freezer.… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Kittens and supplies We added two adorable kittens to our family:  Marya and Sonya. Apparently they are names from Natasha, Pierre, and The Great Comet of 1812 (can you tell my daughter is a theatre fan??) A friend of ours was giving them away, so my kids have been patiently waiting for their arrival… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Puzzling problems... Like many people, one of the things that we are enjoying during this stay at home period are puzzles. I was lucky enough to buy a selection of puzzles the day before the stay at home order was announced and have been thankful ever since. However, I quickly realized that having only… Continue reading Frugal Things

Frugal February Week 2 Update

February 16, 2020February 15, 2020 The Thrifty EducatorLeave a comment

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

1. Amazon Textbook Rental $17 for a college textbook compared to $100...yes please! My daughter is taking a religion course at our local community college and on her suggested book list it mentioned that she could either get a textbook with an access code or just an access code (that apparently has the book in… Continue reading Frugal Things

Saving Money the Easy Way (Part 1)

January 10, 2020 The Thrifty EducatorLeave a comment

I hear people all the time saying that it takes too much work to save money and that they would much rather buy what they want when they want it rather than seeking the best deals on items. This got me thinking about if there was any truth in that and if so, have I… Continue reading Saving Money the Easy Way (Part 1)

1. Kohls I know I mention that I get random Kohls cash sent to me from time to time, but it is literally my favorite mail. This past week, they sent me $10 of Kohls cash to use on anything thing I wanted so I headed to Kohls and picked out some new towels to… Continue reading Frugal Things

1. Thrift store finds We found a lot of great deals at the thrift store this week. I found a Dell computer case for just $4 and it was in perfect condition! Since I adapted my china cabinet into a storage space in my living room, we actually have somewhere to hang stockings now, so… Continue reading Frugal Things
