I am thankful to know that many of you are finding solutions here to make what you have go even further here. I love hearing your successes!
What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful for the opportunity to go garage sale shopping with my mom this morning. It’s an unexpected trip; we usually only go on two Saturday mornings a year. She found a community sale for us to attend, and while I think it’s much smaller than where we usually go (probably one tract, versus an…
Today I found out a fraudulent charge of $497 on my account. I’m glad I checked my account online today! Just a reminder that this time of year, it’s wise to check your account often. The last time this happened to me, the bank told me that the charges came because someone at a store…
Remember this chair? Yesterday morning, my husband and I were discussing the current real estate market. This year has been a good one for us, and for the real estate market here. The market is now starting to slow down. There is always a seasonal slowdown during the winter, of course, but with 9000 houses…
I’m thankful for my husband’s hard work remaking the merry-go-round. What are you thankful for today?
It’s the last day of November, and therefore the last of my thankful posts for the month. I am still sick! (I ended up back in bed yesterday and did not post). Today, I am thankful for my daughter who, though she is also sick, was so helpful in helping me to care for her…
Today, I am thankful for daylight savings time. While I don’t always love this invention, in the fall on the day of the change and a few days to follow, they are more willing to go to bed at bedtime, because it feels later to them! It always makes for a few quieter evenings and…
I am thankful for the wonderful church friends we spent the day with.
And we are all thankful for you! Thank you for all the inspiration you give us.
Happy Thanksgiving.
I’m so full of thankful that I can’t name them all.

I’m thankful for you and your beautiful website, Brandy.
I’m also thankful for our dear friends that we spent Thanksgiving day with.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
Lea
I am thankful that all of my needs are met and most of my wants:)
Thankful my granddaughter has finally learned to arrive on time, or close to it. It helps that I finally refused to wait for her to serve the meal. I only had to do it once or twice and she immediately improved.
Thankful also for this blog, a PLEASANT, non-judgmental group who are interested in sharing and learning from one another and not competing in so many ways like other blogs do!!
Totally what Sheila and Mariana said! Happy Thanksgiving!
Today I’m thankful that my IBS attack is over. So thankful for that!
I am thankful to spend time with my son, grandson, and mom today and share a delicious meal.
My daughter has had a bad day today, which as flowed over to everyone around her. So, today I am thankful that bad days do come to an end eventually and each day is a chance to start over.
I am so very thankful for you, Brandy! You keep me inspired to keep on the frugal path. And I am thankful for everyone who shares their frugal ideas on your website. It is so helpful to know that I’m not alone on this journey.
I’m so thankful for your wonderful website! I learn so much from you. I’m also thankful for the wonderful dinner I shared with family.
What a beautiful table you set!
Today i’m thankful for a comfortable bed to fall into; It’s so nice after a long day.
I am thankful that today I was not alone…that I could go to church…eat till I was stuffed…listen to good music…walk in peace in the woods…talk and text relatives on the phone…that my children had places to go for Thanksgiving being so far from home at college…have an online community that I can learn and share with. Peace be with all of you!
Oh, boy, Rhonda, I feel for you! Yesterday was that day for several around here–children/nieces/nephew. Today, things were much better, so I’m with you. Thank goodness for new days, seconded!
I’m so thankful that we were able to host Thanksgiving at our new house today. It went beautifully. We had to re-arrange the tables more than once, but finally settled on an arrangement that worked. People had enough room without feeling crowded, ate a ton, and enjoyed the day. I’m thankful to have a house, where I was inside, out of the rain that was pouring down, surrounded by people I love and who love me.
Another reader thankful for this blog which I enjoy every week. I’m thankful for a much improved financial situation after 4 years of planning and effort. I am happy, proud, and at peace with myself and the world. Ann Lee S. BC Canada
Yes I know, pride goeth before a fall….. but I am so darn pleased to see the fruits of my work, planning and efforts provide a secure happy life at 74 … with more than a little help from blogs like this one! and friends, and family, ann lee s
I am thankful for the friends and their children that welcomed us into their home and shared their meal with us. I am thankful that my dad who is 89 and has dementia felt comfortable enough to tell me he didn’t want me to visit today because he has so much company the last few days it was bothering him. My niece is taking him out of the house for a couple hours today(Friday) to get a flu shot and his groceries for the week. I am thankful for her as she has stood in my place because I live too far away to help. I am thankful that the ankle I messed up is only sprained (and now deal with tendonitis) and not broken. I am thankful that last night as my children and grandchildren traveled it was rain and not freezing rain or sleet that they drove through. I am thankful for you Brandy and everyone that posts here as you have helped us see the light in tunnel from the debt we had when Hubby and I lost work and lost everything. When it overwhelmed us, depressed us and almost defeated us. I would come to your blog and read out loud and it would give us hope and not feel so alone Blessed be
I am thankful for this blog and the wonderful folks I have “met” here. I’m also thankful that while the income would have been nice you chose to keep your blog as ad free as possible. The side ads are gentle, relevant and not obtrusive. I am thankful that your income has headed in the right direction, that Merivenes knees are mending, the Juls job and health is better and that those who have had to face many health issues know that they are not alone and that they have a rooting section here, waiting to offer hope, prayers, ideas and love. I am thankful I was looking for “pantry” one day and the web (GOD) brought me to YOU. And I am thankful I was smart enough to read the website, get hooked by the wise musings of a caring and sharing woman and that she then got a blog going so I could meet all these wonderful, doubting, sharing, scarred, honest and loving folks who give of themselves in so many ways. You all are the best things to happen to me in many years. Thank you!
I am thankful for a healthy family (we are now over the stomach bug), loving boys, and all of my needs met.
Today I ask for prayers for those in our community who have been evacuated from their homes due to the wildfires in the area. We are also praying for the firefighters who are working around the clock and their families.
I’m thankful for wonderful neighbors who invited us to share their Thanksgiving celebration and who act as surrogate grandparents for our son, especially now that all of his grandparents have passed on.
As the others have said, I am a huge fan of your blog. I admire your blog, and I admire the way you and your husband raise your children. You are an inspiration to me, a much older woman, trying to stay on a budget and give my family the best things of life. Thank you.
I am thankful for my husband today. He is so good to me. I am so blessed.
I am with you in rejoicing in the fruits of your time and labor! Congratulations!
