So, you have decided that you want to start couponing but, you aren’t sure where to find coupons. It may seem overwhelming, believe me, I understand!
When I first started couponing and had to learn all of the couponing terminology, all of the different store rules and everything else involved with couponing it seemed like I may never master it all!

When I turned 25 my dad bought me a crockpot (or slow cooker) for my birthday. I immediately thought, does this make me officially old? I am getting cookware as a birthday present. Having never used a slowcooker or crockpot before and I couldn’t figure out why he would think of this for me. Afterall, I will admit, cooking in general is not my forte. Well, my daddy is much wiser than I will ever be (he also loves – like I do – things that have a purpose). Since I wouldn’t want anything to go to waste (not using something like this is like throwing someone else’s money right in the trash), I set out to learn about crockpot meals and why I should be making them. I quickly discovered that there are many reasons you should be making crockpot meals and couldn’t believe I hadn’t been making them sooner!
Since that fateful birthday (where I now feel empowered with knowledge instead of just plain ‘ol old), I use my crockpot at least once a week. Seriously, I do!…
I don’t think anyone would disagree that saving money is a GOOD idea. However, many people feel like the can NOT save money. Afterall, if you are in debt or living paycheck to paycheck where are you going to get even more money to put into savings? The fact is once you actually LEARN how to start saving money you will find that it is not as impossible as you may think it is.
When my husband and I first started dating, we were living paycheck to paycheck even though we were already living frugally. We desperately wanted to move to a different state, but moving is super expensive. …
How much would you love to hit ALL of your savings goals? We dream of having enough in savings that we don’t have to worry if one of our homestead revenue streams falls short for a few months or even the year. The only way to do this is by finding great ways to save money.
Of course, when that happens, I will probably just come up with new savings goals to strive towards. If you already understand how to start saving money then you have a good foundation to hit all of your money saving goals. …
What is frugal living? Frugal living can be different for each person.
Almost everyday, I have a similar conversation with my husband about paper towels. I use one and if it isn’t “totally” used, I leave it on the counter. Of course, this is so I can use it again later. He often jokes that I must be older than I am because I act like I grew up during the Great Depression — ya know, with all the wanting to overuse things like paper towels….
Frugal living can mean different things for different people. When you decide to commit to frugal living, you definitely have to change your mindset. But before you can make any decisions about frugal living, you need to know exactly what is frugal living?
So, if frugal living is not just about saving money, what else is frugal living?
