Frugal. By Nature.

Review: Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam

Review: Millionaire Teacher by Andrew Hallam

By Justin Weinger Leave a Comment

I've been a penny pincher ever since I was a kid.  I'd squirrel away my savings for months at a time.  I'd come up with things I could sell to make extra money (although trying to sell rocks didn't go so well!). I know how to use coupons to save money, negotiate lower prices for things, and cut my utility bills.   But, as much as I consider myself a savvy saver, I'm kind of lousy at investing. Sure, I am able to earn money with my investments (usually), but I kind of just operate on auto … [Read more...]

Review: Food Network Magazine 1,000 Easy Recipes

By Justin Weinger Leave a Comment

I love watching Food Network.  I drool over the food and imagine all the scrumptious things I could prepare for my family if only I knew what I was doing in the kitchen. I love to eat, and I like to cook, but only when I have a plan, and when the recipes are easy to follow.  I will abandon an entire cookbook if it has even one recipe with an ingredient I know I'll never find in my grocery store.  Anything that seems remotely exotic to this Midwestern meat-and-potatoes girl, like scallops or … [Read more...]

All In Good Time: When to Save, Stock Up, and Schedule … [Read more...]

Review: The Money Saving Mom’s Budget

Review: The Money Saving Mom’s Budget

By Justin Weinger 1 Comment

I've been doing this frugal living thing for more than a decade.  And you would think I would have it down by now. But I don't.  In fact I'm human.  And it was a lot easier to manage our money with fewer kids, smaller house payments, and lower grocery and gas expenses than it is now. Even though I've written about budgeting, it's been hard for me to follow my own advice.  Lately, I've been floundering a little when it comes to our finances.  Yes, we're still living within our means, but it … [Read more...]
