Welcome to a website devoted to showcasing how to be frugal while living in Central PA – though many of the ideas will work anywhere.
Frugal means to not be wasteful in any regard – time, money, resources, energy or emotions. Sometimes being frugal will save you money, sometimes it will save you time… it will always pay you back more than you put into it.
Our family has spent many years working toward the life we’ve always wanted, weeding out what is good in the modern world and ignoring what is wasteful. Many of our ideas are “old fashioned” like cloth diapers, canning and victory gardening. But the truth is with the world in the shape it is now, we’ve got to make changes for the future and one way to do that is by looking to the past.
This website is a way for us to share all we’ve learned and hopefully encourage others in our area that want to achieve similar life changes – to enjoy life more, to worry less, to be prepared come what may.
Thanks for reading.
