My daughters prob love thrifting more than I do (which is a lot!). There is just something so fun about the hunt and that incredible feeling when you find the perfect item! It is a GREAT way to save money and help the environment! 🎉🎉 #sweetfrugallife #momonabudget #budgetingmom #frugalmom #frugalliving #thrifting #thriftstore #thriftshopping #backtoschoolclothes #backtoschoolshopping

There is a common misconception that being frugal means to only have cheap things. And that is just not true! You can be frugal AND spend money on expensive things at the same time! Being frugal means you spend on what’s important and scrimp on what’s not as important. It means you stretch every dollar so that when something expensive comes that you really want, you can afford it! Double tap if you agree! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #sweetfrugallife #momonabudget #budgetmom #frugal #frugallife #frugalliving #frugaltips #frugallivingtips #frugalmom #budgetlife #moneysavingtips #frugalfriday #debtfreecommunity #cashisking #debtisdumb
Does anyone else struggle with money guilt? It use to be a huge problem in my life. I do believe that SOME guilt is helpful in keeping us accountable and working towards our goals. But, I started realizing my spending guilt was driving wedges between me and my loved ones and bringing out a side of me I didn’t like. So, I sat down one day and gave myself permission to not feel guilty when I spent money during these few situations. And it has helped me so much!!!! #sweetfrugallife #momomabudget #budgetingmom #savingmoney #saveyourmoney #spendingguilt #fpu #financialpeace #financialpeaceuniversity
There will always be another sale, always! So, if you come across something you love on a major sale….but it’s out of your budget, remember that item WILL go on sale again! Just because it’s on sale doesn’t mean you need to buy it! Period. #sweetfrugallife #momonabudget #budgetingmom #frugalmom #frugalliving #savingmoney #debtfreedom #debtfreelife #cashisking #debtisdumb #fpu #financialpeace #moneysavingtips

To make this easy French bread recipe you will need the following ingredients: First, in a stand mixer gently mix the water, sugar and yeast together. I add a little flour and then mix for a minute and then add a little more until the dough looks right. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with a tea towel. Sometimes I freeze the dough in a freezer bag, and then let it rise, shape and bake later.
