A couple months ago Meredith at Like Merchant Ships made a comment that really has impressed on me. The more frugal the gift, the more careful we are to package it. That does not mean we spend more to wrap it or present it. Just that we want to make sure it isn’t coming across……you [...]

Isn’t it beautiful? I don’t think Walt Disney World here in Florida looks any better than at Christmas time. The castle looks like there is icicles on it. I mean you know it’s not, cause it’s yea uh Florida, but still. And I know it’s not the most frugal place in the world [...]

Since it is Black Friday, I thought we should talk about……GIFTS, frugally.

It is Monday night and I have managed to make the mashed potatoes, bread dressing and my cornbread/wild rice dressing, sweet potato casserole, one turkey done (thanks Madi!), twice baked potatoes and the beginnings of a Butter Pecan Cake. I have a ways to go but [...]
