A Frugal Mindset, Simplify Your Life And Enjoy Life On A Budget BY
Kathy Stanton
Book concentrates first on food and budget. What to cook, no leftovers, no processed foods, its' also better for your health.
Buy on sale and with coupons are also mentioned. There are apps that can also make a list of what you need, from what stores and how to safe.
We make a meal but have enough left over for another whole meal which goes into the freezer for another week. Then when we have a busy day, time is short to make a meal we just pull that meal out of the freezer and defrost.
Use of thrift stores for decorating the house are profitable for you especially if you can make a new cover for a cushion.
Like electric savings and how to make it possible.
I use window quilts that we made to help keep the hot air and humidity out of the house during wicked hot sunny days. bottom section fo the window where screen is allows air to circulate.
We even safe money when traveling, bringing out own lunches and fruits for 2 day trip, soup to heat up at the hotel for dinner rather than spending $50 for dinner out.
Good reference book to keep handy.
How to Not Clean the Kitchen : Discover the Way to Declutter and Organize Your Kitchen So You Don't Have to Clean it by Tamra Carter
Good ideas in this book. we just don't let things pile up in the sink. Also don't keep a lot of appliances out but the ones we use every day, several times a day: coffee machine. Love decluttering, we passed to our son the bigger dishes as we don't use that size any longer. Bulleted lists are also provided in each chapter.
Your Guide to the National Parks: The Complete Guide to All 59 National Parks by Michael Joseph Oswald
Love this guide because it tells you how to plan for a trip to any of the parks, what to expect, how to explore and what's out there.
Love the different ones that even offer bus rides between the different areas of a park. We have been to several and I wish I had this book before we had gone, pretty sure we missed some things i would've wanted to see for myself. We still have a few years left to go travel. A newer version is now available: 63 national parks. guess we've added some recently.
A KEPER!
