This post has 
nothing to do with fitness… It does, however, have to do with frugality, something that I’m going to have to get much better at since there’s about to be three of us instead of two. I’ve recently run across a great blog that has a ton of great information on lots of different topics. My favorites are probably the ones that highlight ways to live more simply: getting rid of stuff that just takes up space in your home, cutting costs by cutting out things you don’t need, etc. Living right up the road from Brentwood (pretty much the most expensive city to live in in TN, and the most extravagant) means that it’s super easy for us to get caught up in trying to “keep up with the Jones’s.” This is something that I don’t want. I don’t want to teach that trait to my children. I want them to know that “stuff” doesn’t matter – you can’t take it with you when you’re gone. There are people around the world that don’t have anything except the clothes on their back and they’re always smiling and happy (if you’ve ever been on a mission trip or something similar you’ve witnessed this – it always baffles me but at the same time makes me wish I could possess their attitude).
Check out the blog.
Today’s post on his blog is about how to save money on groceries and it contains some really great tips. My husband and I haven’t really felt the economic crunch like others I don’t think, but we have definitely noticed our grocery bills going up. (The author of the above blog has six kids – I have no idea how he and his wife do it. He does live on Guam though, how sweet would that be?!?)
Do you have any tips for me on how to save money? How do “de-clutter” your life? Please share!!
