My Frugal Life #1

I like to save money, perhaps you do as well? Some people call it frugal living, or simple living, being a cheapskate or even being a tightwad (Tightwad Gazette rocks!) - but it all comes down to being a better steward of our environment and our homes and lives.

This will be an easy, simple email swap. You will compile a list of ten (10) frugal living tips and send them to your partners.

Some ideas, just to get you thinking --

• couponing tips / coupon sites
• Fun ideas for the summer on a dime
• Homemade cleaners, soaps, etc
• gifts from your kitchen
• frugal cooking / recipes
• how to save money
• reuse / reduce/ recycle ideas
• ways to save money on vacation
• bargain shopping
• frugal beauty and health
• other how-to's

Newbies welcome with a filled out profile (I check!) - otherwise 4.8 with no recent 1's or 3's (if you have any recent 1's or 3's please PM me and explain if needed - or I will ban). This is an easy way for newbies to gain some needed swaps under their belt - but if you can't follow through, please don't join. I will angel if needed.

Since this is not particularly profile based (though you could check and see if they have kids/babies/pets and give tips for that type of thing) you can start working on your list now.

As always, feel free to contact me with questions. Also, you are welcome to give some ideas of types of things you would like or not like (such as if you are allergic to perfume for soaps etc) or things you need help with (how to coupon? how to use cloth diapers? etc) in the comments below but remember this is sender's choice!
