My Inexpensive, Abundant, Beautiful Life Tips for Frugal Living

Frugal Living as a Family

Being frugal as a couple is FUN! Some people might find it stressful, but I’m enjoying our endeavors to conserve money yet still have an exciting and enjoyable existence. Considering the fact that I just spent $5500 on my first surgery for dental implants, the rest of my life needs to be… well, cheap.

What have I/we come up with thus far?

• Having a budget
• Ensuring we turn off the lights
• Computers are shut down at night
• Trying not to waste food
• Making uncooked oatmeal a staple in my raw food diet
• Simple raw diet of smoothies instead of gourmet raw
• Scouring kijiji for thins we need
• Bartering for massage and body work
• Getting movies and books from the library
• Enjoying my collection of VHS tapes
• Accepting bags of clothes from my sister and being excited about it!
• (I) buy my clothes at second-hand stores
• Buying what I need
• Being content with “what is”
• Feeling abundance and gratitude
