Are You Really Best Friends?

Posted on by

How many times have you heard someone comment that their spouse is their best friend? I have heard it a lot. However in how many cases is it actually true? It seems that those words are just something that one says because they feel like they should. Many partners may say that they are best friends but in reality they do not treat one another like best friends at all. Many partners have much higher expectations, more jealousy, and greater demands of their mates than they ever would have for a friend. In addition they also typically give their mate … Continue reading →

What Is Your Frugal Roadblock?

One thing that I have learned while practicing frugal living is that you just can’t do everything. I am a big advocate of choice in frugality. You do what makes sense to you.

But all of us have roadblocks when it comes to frugality that prevent us from taking the next step, even though we may want to reach a new level of saving money. Perhaps it is a roadblock … Continue reading →

You Never Know What Can Happen

For all the encouragement I give all of you home business owners to budget, schedule and plan, I think it is also important that I share that the reality is, we never know what will happen in our home businesses. We can prepare, we can plot, and we can do everything in our power to steer and guide our businesses operations, but in the end we all have no idea what is really and truly going to happen. I am often amazed at how much unpredictability there really is in my little home business. I really do have a simple … Continue reading →

Avoid These Garage Sales

Garage sales can be a great way to find the things that you need at a frugal price. But, with the rise in gas prices, we all have to wonder if driving around to yard sales is even worth it. After all, if you spend $10 in gas and find very little in terms of bargains, then garage sales are just not worth it. I have a hard time thinking about giving these sales up, though, because although garage sales can be hit or miss, they usually do pay off in the long run. So how do you minimize the … Continue reading →

New Grocery Shopping Techniques

Have you changed the way you grocery shop lately? I know that I have. Rising food prices and gas prices have certainly caused me to make some adjustments. For example, grocery prices on many items are changing so fast that keeping a traditional price book that is based on cycles of sales is no longer useful. Instead, shopping can be more of a guessing game or like playing the stock market. Will $4.99 be the lowest price for flour? Should I stock up now or wait for it to go lower? Will it rise even more? You see what I … Continue reading →
