Default Re: Giant Finger of Frugal Blame or Blessing

I learned how to be frugal from my Aunt & a lil from my mom. Growing up on Social Security Survivors benefits (no not the same as Welfare) I didn't always have alot. My mom made sure we had enough food & freebies to stock for a family of 10 & it was just the two of us. For extra $ she'd dumpster dive for aluminum cans.

Whereas I've learned more and more out of necessity. As a SAHM I don't have the luxury of 2 incomes anymore so I am more than willing to pinch my pennies and do what I need to do to stay home with my kids until they are in school full time.
