Some do's and don'ts of frugal living, to make life easier and cheaper.
​Living the frugal life is more than just a trend these days. It can be a downright necessity for some.

We lucked in to a budget-friendly Christmas tree at Walmart, and it's just perfect for our space.
Our budget Christmas tree is the perfect fit for our tiny, short living room!
​​What's better than saving a dollar or two? How about saving $15?

That's what I did last week, after I finally admitted that we needed to have our own Christmas tree.
