Crafty Tuesdays!

My first crafty post!! This weeks Crafty Tuesday challenge is Use it up! Look around your craft area and see what you have sitting around. What could you use for an upcoming project that you already have?

*No paper in the theme you need? Use a blank piece in the color of your choice and stamp it up!

*Can you use markers to color a button, brad, or skittles to a color that you need?

*Need a stable background for an ATC? Cut up cereal or soda boxes to the correct size.

Please leave a comment on how you use up your supplies!

Money Saving Mondays

Money saving with meals

How does your meal plan look money wise? Have you had to cut out a few things from your grocery list?

What meals could you make for 5$ or less to feed an entire family? There's pleanty of options!

Here's my favorite website that breaks it down. http://www.5dollardinners.com/

Have you considered sitting down with your local stores sale fliers to make a meal plan? Combining coupons with things on sale is a great way to get your families food budget down. You can get coupons from many websites, here's a few:

Happy couponing!

No sled? Look around in your shed and see what will slide! I did a little googling to find that black plastic bags even work for a few runs!

Sometimes being frugal means getting creative!

Money Saving Fridays!

The beginning of the year is filled with holidays, but the great thing is that you can stock up on clerance items for next year!

Watch for Valentines day clerance! You can stock up on decorations, stuffed animals, and valentines day cards for next year and you won't have to worry about paying full price for next year!

Welcome to Mrs. Frugality!

Hello!

This is my blog about saving money, scrapbooking, and book reviews. Just a few of my favorite things!

I'm Jessica, a married mother of a little boy. Since being a stay at home mom, I've been thinking of ways to save money and still get what we need. I actually enjoy bargin hunting and finding the best deal on whatever I need at the moment.

Certain days will have a certain topic:
Money saving Mondays and Fridays

Frugal Weekends

I hope you enjoy!
