Hang In There
I am always on the look for simple and easy ways to save money. I also look for ways to ease others into spending less so you can then get what you need or really want. We have to pick and choose where we spend our hard earned pennies.
One easy way to save money is find ways NOT to spend money. For example use one towel a week for bathing per person. If you do that one tightwad tip then you only have one load of towels for a family of 6 instead of 7 loads of towels a week for a family of six. That is a HUGE difference. For money or TIME.
There are only a few BIG ways to save money but there are TONS of small ways to save money that ALL adds up.
Please go visit these lovely ladies and glean some good tightwad tips from them.

Be Blessed And for those who are curious about my week away. I gave a begining post of what I gleaned from it below this post.
I don't know how anyone with a larger family has time to wash a load of towels every day! Your statement is so true, there are a few big things we can do to save money but the little things really do add up!

We also use the same towels for 4-5 days in a row to alleviate so much laundry. I also heard that if you do not use any softener on the towels, they are actually more absorbant, yet retain their softness too.
I have started doing that, so there's yet another way to save even more money by using less softener.
I have been trying to convince my family to do this for years. Those little savings add up to lots of time and money.
Glad you had a great time at your conference.

Hi Mary. I'm glad you made it back safe and sound. Great post about your experiences, very touching. Good tip this week! With 6 people bathing every day we do go through some towels in my house lol! Have a blessed week. Julie http://funinthesunmom.blogspot.com
I wanted to thank you for making this blog.
What a brillant idea to share ideas.
We do use that idea you posted and have for awhile I really didn't realize how much we were saving doing towels that way. :)

a wife to my Handsome of 17 years. A mom of 4 on the go boys 15, 13, 9, and 7. I grew up in the states but married my Canadian sweetheart and moved up north.
We live in the southern part of British Columbia , Canada on our homestead. We have homeschooled our four boys from birth and plan to go the distance till all four graduate from our homeschool. I teach with a Charlotte Mason style and use the Heart of Wisdom Approach. I love to craft! I am a beader, knitter, x-stitcher, quilter. We have been on a journey of being apart of building "The House that God Built". I have been recording our journey on my blog. Go to my links and you will find it. I know God has a lot more instore for us and we just need to follow where our Lord takes us.
