Today I have a Guest Post over at Frugal Living NW. You have heard me mention this sight many times. I love having a local deal blog that I can follow so I can save on all my grocery and household needs.
If you are coming over from Frugal Living NW, I thank you for stopping by. First off you need to know I am not a deal blog. Don’t get me wrong, I love deals and on occasion I will post some deals because I hate for anyone to miss out on some great bargains, but that’s not what I am about, and why would I be when Angela does such a great job.
I did a Teaching Kids the Value of Money series a few months ago. It will show you where the thought of having frugal kids will produce frugal adults came from. I feel like this is such an important thing for us parents to teach our kids. We don’t want our kids writing blogs in a few years about how they are trying to get out of debt. Instead we want them writing the frugal blog or making money online blog.

I talk often about how much I love food. Good, local, hearty, creative food. I am always trying something, whether it be a recipe or a great local restaurant. Even though food is a splurge I am learning to cut costs with stockpiling.
As you can see there is a little bit of everything, but a whole lot of frugal, that’s for sure. I always have been frugal and I always will be. Quite frankly being frugal is a Thing I Love.
With the economy the way it is, it seems like everyone is cutting back and trying hard not to spend money aimlessly on things. I think this is great. This is something that many people have needed to do for years now. But with so many blogs out there filled with all types of money saving tips, which I too will share, there comes a point where you feel guilty buying something that you truly want or enjoy, but you need to know, it's ok to splurge every now and then.
