FloridaLisa Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 http://www.growrichslowly.org is a great general site about how to use your money well. He includes articles on everything from gardening to a 401-k. I find it way more consumer friendly than the Money magazine or other magazines I've received. Also, google your favorite grocery store with "frugal" and you should find lots of sites that match coupons with your grocery store sales. HTH, Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth S Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I'm a long-time fan of the Tightwad Gazette, by Amy Dacyczyn. But I've recently discovered these two helpful blogs: Get Rich Slowly http://www.getrichslowly.org/blog/ Smart Spending - MSN http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SmartSpending/ I'm looking forward to reading OTHERS' replies to this post.

E_Edgerton Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I second the rec for The Simple Living Network. I also like a lot of the self-sufficient/non electric products from http://www.lehmans.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 The Prudent Homemaker, also a fellow homeschooler. Check out her pantry and garden photos! The woman lives in LAS VEGAS and her garden looks like that! The Simple Dollar, a blog. He writes something every single day, so I often skim, but he's got good advice.

jenL Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Thank you ladies! I'm pretty good with the coupon/grocery savings sites using these two the most often: www.afullcup.com and www.southernsavers.com I appreciate the other sites that talk about general frugal living in all aspects. We're really trying to simplify everything. We've just started reading The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, so the suggestion for one of his sites is especially relevant to us right now. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I was just checking out some of these blogs - fascinating, thanks for sharing! But then I started following links to links to links, and ended up here: Food Stamps and got mad. If I were on food stamps, I could spend $668 per month on food. I spend 1/3rd less than that.

Goodness! That's a lot more than we spend too! We're up to $236 for this month (our "month" follows our cc billing cycle, so it's Oct. 22-Nov. 22). Hopefully all we'll need to buy to get us through the rest of the month is milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrscopterdoc Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I am dragging this thread back out because I think it's a wonderful idea, and I missed it the first time around. Does anyone else have more websites, specifically like Hillbilly Housewife? Our budget is what it is, no more trimming/scrimping/saving to be done there. I am looking more for frugal day-to-day living/shopping/cleaning etc. Sites with menus, recipes and especially coupons. Our Sunday paper never has many [or good] coupons, and most sites I have found, you have to *pay* for coupons......doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of coupons? :confused: I love all the threads posted lately of everyone's frugal and thrifty ideas....I am just searching for websites. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
