Comment on Saving On Groceries And Other Expenses by CJ

Timely post, Shona…good stuff. One thing that has saved us a ton is only leaving the house when absolutely necessary. We’ve cut our gas/petrol use
by at least half (work from home)and only shop every three weeks. Some of the spare time has been used to start a small vegetable patch – to supplement the fresh between shops. Mucho good exercise! Really enjoying your content.

If you want me to advertise your brand name on my T shirt, you have to pay me for being your billboard!

Found that I enjoyed looking at the photo of all the bodies in the mass grave. Does that mean I am a deviant of some sort????

Hello Fellow SA – great blog. Loved the hawthorn heart article. I left corporate world 3 years ago to start my own business which is driven from my desktop in Greyton as I outsource all activities from production to distribution to selling. Monthly expenses have reduced dramatically without the corporate expenses, but the stress levels have reduced more dramatically!

Hi Monique,

Thanks so much for stopping by. When we take a little time to stop and think about things, it’s actually quite easy to see where one can cut back, go green or…afford a job

Hi! Finally stopping by from twitter and I’m so glad I did! I love reading about all the different things we can do to spend less, save more and be green at the same time! I esp. liked your recent post about if it’s really affordable to “work”. I couldn’t agree more, been there done that.

You’re absolutely right, Bret. Especially at that age, kids will never know the difference between designer and used anyway. And often, the older stuff is a lot more sturdy than the flimsy designer cr*p anyway.

We were so broke when we had our first kid that I bought a high chair, crib and car seat from garage sales. They were all innexpensive and in great condition. When I was done with them, I sold them at a garage sale for close to what I paid for them.

Kids are expensive enough without the designer labels and fancy brands.

That is also an excellent idea, Moira. Especially owing to the fact that children get tired of toys fairly quickly. That way, they have a constant variety of toys to use, and for a fraction of the cost of a single toy

In our city we created a toyary, a place where you can borrow toys. Families pay a membership fee. The volunteers at the toyary buy, repair, and clean the toys before lending them to the families.
We all love it! Children have toys that are new to them all the time, toys are used by a lot of kids instead of by one or two, and parents only pay a fee instead of having to buy new toys all the time!
