I’m thankful that I was able to deliver photos that I took of my great-nephew’s baby blessing to his parents today. It was my first time using the website to transfer photos to someone and it was a learning curve for me. I offered to take photos of a few families locally for free…

Today is the last day of this series. I had something planned to write, but then today went differently, starting with a call this morning from my mom from the hospital. My parents are home now, and I’m grateful that my dad is going to be fine. What are you thankful for today?

I’m thankful for my two-year-old, who yesterday answered my childhood question of whether or not it was possible to stick green olives with pimentos on one’s fingers just as well as black olives. If your fingers are small enough, you sure can! I’m also thankful for all of his ugs, and his remark to…

Today as I dug in the garden and planted bulbs, I was very grateful that we were able to relandscape the garden. That area of the garden had been overrun with solid crabgrass roots and I had not been able to eradicate them in over 15 years. We removed all of the soil from that…

I am thankful for our custodian at work – not only does he make our building shine and keep it in good repair, he shares his Mother’s cookies with us! He is a widower with grown children and his mother is a blue-ribbon state fair cookie champion multiple times over – he can never eat on his own the volume of cookies he receives, so he shares with us. And, to top it all off, he’s a super nice and thoughtful person. We’re definitely spoiled!
I am thankful for frugal living sources, especially Amy Dacyzyn and the Tightwad Gazette, which got me started, and Brandy and The Prudent Homemaker website, which keeps me going. Both have practical and creative ideas for living a great life less expensively. I am an analyst both by trade and naturally because that’s how my mind works. Amy’s practical, logical experiments and writings really appeal to me as do Brandy’s weekly frugal accomplishments. I am also thankful for everyone that shares their experiences in the comments. I still miss Marivene and hope her family is doing well.
For people who teach!
We went to the movies today and saw “Harriet” about the life of Harriet Tubman. A highly recommended movie highlighting a godly woman who rescued slaves after escaping slavery herself. One of the good stories of history. What courage.

I am thankful for easy-to-prepare meals today, including a scrambled egg and vegetable sandwich for lunch and pasta with pasta sauce for supper. I was too tired to make anything complicated, but there was no need for fast food either.
Thankful for a full freezer, courtesy of some great sales, with money leftover in my monthly food budget.
I am thankful for all the people that post here on a weekly basis to share their frugal ideas and accomplishments. I learn so much from all of you. And, thank you, Brandy, for hosting and sharing parts of your life with us.
I am thankful that 30 years ago, I read the Parade article about Amy Dacyczyn and unleashed my inner frugalista. I grew up poor and always knew how to stretch a buck, but society’s expectations waylaid me for awhile. I am happy to report that when we retired 13 years ago, we were debt free and owned our house outright. (And still are, and still do).
Maxine, I, too was always able to live within my means, and did so out of necessity. But reading that article in Parade Magazine changed how I viewed life. I realized there were others who felt like me about money and were unashamed about it. It became a fun game to see how well we could do.
We are in our seventies now and retirement house and two cars were paid for in cash. We traveled for years. We both had very modest incomes during our earning years.
I wish Amy would write a piece and bring us up to date on her life.
Today I am thankful for phone issues being resolved and for an hour of walking time outside.
