Thrifty Time Tuesdays

 

I renamed my TTT posts and that’s because I am talking about being ‘thrifty’ today.  Many of us have had to tighten our belts in many areas, as of late.  Whether it’s of necessity or just for fun, cutting back is a challenge but it can also be a satisfaction….a ‘job well done’.  Maybe it entails making meals stretch a bit further, hanging your clothes to dry, turning down the heat, walking more, driving less, decorating the house with thrift store finds….any number of these takes us back to a simpler time. 

  

 

And look at all the exercise you got!  A nice side benefit.

 

 

No more goofing off……..you’ve got meals to plan and housework to do.  Doing things the simple way takes a bit longer but that’s ok….you’ll just love the rewards.      

                      

Nothing like soothing soap and water on your hands….

 

  

 (Sheesh, I sure hope she has soap in that pan!!!)

Tons of laundry to do…..

                                                                                                                              

And when all is said and done you can relax in front of the fire…..opps, you’ve got darning and mending to finish.

                            

Ah, but you can socialize with your friends and neighbors….in a good old gab fest.  No TV required! 

I like the simpler life and I try to do a lot of these things….it makes my life more fun and interesting.  I like the sense of accomplishment.  As a matter of fact, I am headed for the couch right now.  The TV is on and I am ready to crochet a few dishcloths!  Viva…the simple way!
