adjective
sparing or economical with regard to money or food : he led a remarkably frugal existence. See note at economical .
• simple and plain and costing little : a frugal meal.
In my mind I have grand aspirations to be a wife and mother who is infinitely resourceful and doesn't have to spend a lot of money to provide a lot. I want to clip coupons and save tons of money on food. I want to bake bread and cake and cookies from scratch so that they are always on hand and the house smells like a delicious bakery when my kids come home from school. I want to have unique decorations in my house that I made myself. I guess basically I want to be supermom and it probably will never happen (I am not crafty or incredibly creative) but nevertheless, to this I aspire.
Today while perusing my Pinterest homepage I came across a pin that led me to find the Fake-It Frugal blog on Blogspot. Horray! A like mind who publicly posts how she achieves these frugal aspirations. Reading her blog, I am provided with the ideas that my non-crafty, non-creative mind can not conceive of independently. I am one step closer to the dream.
PS- I especially liked the Fake Bettey Crocker cookie mixes idea. This will be where I begin.
