Frugal Living Fridays: September 30th Edition
It’s hard to believe September is over. As we inch our way further and further toward winter, I can’t help
but start thinking about all of the things I need to do, for the sake of frugal living, before the cold
weather is upon us.
Like buy snow tires, for one. Did you know that it makes more sense for frugal living to buy a good set of
snow tires than it does to own a vehicle that has 4WD or AWD. Most of us know that 4WD and AWD
vehicles use more gas and so shelling out a few hundred dollars for snow tires makes a lot more sense
than spending more than you need to on gas every winter.
Another important part of frugal living and preparing for colder weather is to check and seal any drafts
in your home. When there’s a draft, your hard earned money is flying out the window (literally) because
you’re allowing the warm air to escape. Another great tip for frugal living, when it comes to water, is to
fill a pitcher with water and place it in the fridge. That way, whenever you want a cold glass of drinking
water, you will have it readily available in the fridge and won’t waste water waiting for it to get cold at
the tap.
Now is also a great time of year to use up those last herbs from your garden and to make your own
infused vinegars. These easy to make vinegars are not only great for any frugal living cook but they’re
delicious in salad dressing, over homemade chips and any other place you would normally use plain
vinegar. Look for a recipe online and get started!
This week’s tip for natural remedies talked about the relationship between food allergies and acne. Did
you know that an unidentified food allergy or intolerance could be causing your breakouts? Take note of
how you feel after eating foods like wheat, dairy or sugar and make the adjustments to your diet.
Staying away from the foods that cause your acne is not only better for your face but it’s better for
frugal living too!
Next week, Thrift Culture Now will have more valuable and easy to implement tips for your saving
pleasure.
