5 Ways I Saved $100
Today's Frugal Friday asks us to list Five Painless Ways We Saved $100 Last Year. So here's my list:1. I hang our laundry to dry. Winter or summer, outside or in.

Or doing farm chores. I'd rather have sunshine falling from the sky than something wet while doing farm chores in the winter. I volunteered to alter costumes … [Continue]
