You can't tell me it isn't fun to participate in Frugal Fridays.  I've been enjoying reading all the frugal ideas in Crystal's Blog (Biblical Womanhood) - sorry I haven't figured out how to link things yet - so I thought I would add something myself this week. 

The number one best way to save money is to stay home.  Isn't that simple?  When I stay home I am more content and my boys are more content, there are lovely homecooked meals on the table at the appropriate times and Mom is much less stressed.  Now I realize that it is not possible to stay home all the time, but I try to stay home as much as possible.  When I do go out to run errands or deliver a child to his activity, I try to bundle all my errands to do on the way and/or on the way home.  This way I am not dashing out for this and then dashing out for that.  It makes my life so much more simple.

The other way we save money is by yard sale-ing.  I have got some screamin' deals at yard sales!  Shoot, my boys would have hardly anything to wear if it wasn't for yard sales.  We rarely buy new clothes!  It is a huge blessing.

So there you go.  Save on....

And I agree... staying home is a great way not to spend money (since I don't shop online! haha) I'm a home-body and things just run so much more smoothly when I'm home all day. I can't imagine leaving for even an hour or two every day... I would get too stressed! :D

Ahhh, a kindred spirit! I love staying home... it really does do something to your contentment, doesn't it? And, I ADORE garage sales! Saturday mornings are one of my favorite times of the week!

I think that this is by FAR the best way to save money too!

Thanks for sharing your tips!

I'm sorry you don't get vistor too much! I know how exciting it is to see that someone took the time to comment and read your blog! I do understand about liking cloth diapers and sad that your sweet little bundle is no longer little anymore, but there is a time for everything, in God's time, of course. Thanks for stopping by and I welcome you back!

Thank you for letting me know about what math you use.
I hope you are doing well and all is going good with your HSing. It can be a task and I have just gotten the kids on a chore chart, which they have been doing very well. I think we are finally getting to where we need to be.

Be Blessed,
