About Me
Hi there! Whether you stumbled across my site via internet search, through my book, or other means, I'm happy that you're here.
My name is Bethany. I am a 20-something full-time homemaker (okay, I write a little bit, too) married to the best man in the whole wide world! In 2017 we added a sweet baby girl to our family. I enjoy hobby farming, crafting, sewing, gardening, travel, and learning new things. This blog is about our frugal lifestyle—one of choice and not necessity. |
Both my husband and I grew up in frugal families. I grew up on garage sale clothes and never remember my parents driving new cars. Ever. I guess that's what you call true "priviledge". I was able to aquire a good set of skills growing up, and didn't make any awful financial mistakes, thanks to the kind and prudent oversight of a good mom and dad.
There are so many reasons why you would want to save, even though your income technically allows you to splurge. After one kid and several years of marriage I'm less frugal than I used to be... in some ways. But I still get a real kick out of saving, and every year I find new, better ways to save. Some years it's learning how to grow or make something myself. Other years it might be finding a new kitchen gadget or appliance to save on electricity.
The bulk of this blog is focused on how to save money on food, since that is the easiest and effective way for most people to save. I hope you'll enjoy coming along with me as we learn to save together!
