In true frugal fashion, I just requested them from the local library! :)

You’ll find a lot of the “extreme frugality” ideas from people who are making them work right now.

Its cheap and green…

I have recently tried 2 things: stocking up 1 yr supply (fortunately I have the room) at the very cheapest and reducing.

For instance I do not make my own homemade fabric softener but bought 4 packs for my family of 6 to use and hope to squeeze them to end of year by using half. All bought at extreme discount on loss leaders plus coupon. Once opened I cut all in half. This multiplies my savings by 2! I also recently tried using half as much laundry soap and have seen no noticable difference. These were ideas I got long ago from AMY D. of the Tightwad Gazette. I read alot of books on frugality….she is the Queen.

It’s hard for me to find anything i haven’t already read about, i’m pretty much maxed out myself in terms of living simplly.

Then, I started googling various topics such as “alternative cleaning supplies” or “alternative disposable items” specific to what I was trying to save money on- usually more “extreme frugality” things like this post mentioned. May seem simple or like common sense, but I got way more information that I needed this way than just randomly reading stuff. I also had more time to read great blogs such as this one!
