About two years ago a friend of my introduced me to a blog that helped me a lot.

Her weekly frugal accomplishments were inspiring and helped me to become creative in ways that I could save money. Since then we moved off grid and have done a lot more thrift store shopping. Our lives have changed so much, but it is so rewarding to be able to save money and to do more with less. Unfortunately I still do not have her green thumb, but I am hoping that this year is my year to actually grow food and herbs that our family can use.
