I’ve been checking out a good few websites about frugal living recently since it’s been quite difficult to keep cash under control when it’s only two weeks until the wedding. I found some really interesting sites that I’ll be keeping on my Google Reader.

The first frugal blog I found and bookmarked was Budgeting with the Bushmans which had an interesting recipe for homemade toothpaste. I don’t know whether I’d be able to go that far with frugality, but the blog claims that their teeth felt cleaner than they ever had before which either means that a) the toothpaste really is good or b) over time it’ll make your teeth transparent.. mind you I believe all toothpaste is exactly the same anyway but at a euro a tube (if you buy the really really cheap stuff) I’d rather buy it than make it.

The Finer Things in Life attempts to make us see that there are good things happening around us all the time if only we’d stop and look. It re-inforces the ideas behind a book I’m reading “Your Money or Your Life” which has lots of interesting ideas about how to get your money under control and how to know when enough is really enough.

I also found a recipe for homemade ginger ale here and a thing called a knitting loom
which looks like it makes some really nice stuff and might be quicker than regular knitting which means I might actually get something finished :O The article about that is here.

I’d love to be able to put some of these articles to good use, now if only I had some time to do any of it. Once thing I did enjoy though was the styles they use on their blogs. Just because they’re frugal doesn’t mean they don’t have style. If you’re looking to start a blog then have a look at Crafty Coding. Even frugal people can afford it hah. *END OF SHAMELESS ADVERTISING*
