This is something I’ve been doing for years, and thought everyone knew to do. Recently I was reminded that this isn’t common knowledge, so I thought I’d share this as a Frugal tip. It’s a one-time thing that will simply take a little time on the phone. Clean up your … Continue reading
I have a secret. Once I lost so much weight my clothes were falling off of me, I had to buy new clothes. There was just one little problem: Money. We had none. (At least, not for new clothes!) Yet I now have a more expensive, quality wardrobe than I’ve … Continue reading
You know what I love? Frugal tips that require a one-time commitment. I’m kind of lazy that way. Who wants to be bothered with changing regular behaviors, right?

FPIES and other allergy stories have interfered lately, but Frugal Fridays are back! (At least for this week, at any rate.) When we left off of this series, we had a basic plan to pay off our debt and two looming questions: What if we have less money than bills? and … Continue reading
We’re back to cleaning up our finances! Today, we’re making a plan. We’ve figured out how much money we have and where it is going, and we’ve figured out who we owe and how much. That last one was probably a little painful, right? Have no fear! The next part … Continue reading
Okay, back to our “clean up your finances” series of Frugal Fridays! Today we’re going to talk about the “D” word: DEBT. Ick, I know. But necessary. After all, the only way to truly be in charge of your finances is to have no debt. I’d go so far as … Continue reading
