Andrea's Frugal Home

First Journal Entry

This is my first journal entry....where do I begin?  My husband and I are following the Dave Ramsey path to financial freedom and we are living a more frugal lifestyle.  We had gotten ourselves into a pretty good financial mess and have barely begun the program, but we are finding so many ways to live within or below our means which gives me reason to HOPE!

Last night we canned tomatoes for the first time....talk about a lot of WORK!  haha  But, it will be sooooo worth it when we can open up a fresh can of juicy, ripe Romas in the middle of winter!  We worked out a good deal with our neighbor next door....we shared the cost of the seeds for the garden and he did most of the tending to the garden since that is not yet our "thing".  Well, our job was to can the tomatoes and make things like fresh salsa, zucchini bread, etc. with the goods from the garden and share it with the neighbor.  It has worked out beautifully!  I love having a "shared" garden!  We are happy and our neighbor is just as happy because he is more of a gardener my husband is the cook.  I would recommend it to ANYONE!!!

Well, I will write more later on my frugal haircut which I am getting ready to go to.  If the experiment works, I will post more about it later...
