Frugal Living For Dummies

Frugal Living For Dummies By Deborah Taylor-Hough
How sad is it that I have actually read this book before but didn't realize it until I was 1/4 of the way through?!  So I skimmed the rest of it.

Ideas to think about/try/whatever...
  • Cooking Cooperatively - sharing with a friend, exchanging frozen meals.
  • Make audio tapes/CDs of me/Nanny/mom/MIL reading books out loud for DS1
  • Thanksgiving - gratitude diary (write down 2 things every day); Thanksgiving jar - whenever something fun or noteworthy happens write it on a slip of paper and put it in the jar, read at Thanksgiving; Thanksgiving tree/turkey - write what you're thankful for on leaves or feathers and stick to the tree/turkey.
