Frugal Living includes tips for New England residents and families on how to live a more frugal lifestyle.
Frugal Fun: KidsBowlFree.com
KidsBowlFree.com is a must-visit site for families living on a budget who are looking for cheap activities to do with their children. The weather here has been horrible over the past week. We’ve had one rainy day after another with a few brief periods of sunshine but nothing substantial. Sure, we’ve had some great thunderstorms, but…
Rotisserie Chicken Chimichangas
One of my favorite Mexican dishes to eat is chicken chimichangas. I have had them several places, including Margaritas, and I’ve wanted to make them on my own ever since. Last night, I finally did. I tweaked the recipe I found on Pinterest a little bit to fit my family’s likes. We definitely like our…
Review: White Park in Concord, NH
Disclosure: This is NOT a sponsored post. I wanted to share my thoughts on White Park when I visited because I try to visit different places in the area to help others from where I live. The other night we had to take my boyfriend’s daughter to a dance rehearsal for an upcoming recital she…
Simplify Your Life: Grease Disposal
One of my biggest dislikes is food grease. And grease disposal can be a messy bitch. I used to dump it in an empty container before but always ended up with a dripping mess all over the outside of the container and usually on the counter, as well. I have found two ways, though, to dispose…

Juggling meals around the busy schedules for a family of six can be quite trying at times. It’s not impossible, though. We are still learning what works best for us but here are a few ideas that we practice to help take the stress out of meal time. The first thing you should do is…
Homemade Ice Packs
I admit it. I’m what some refer to as a cheap bitch. That title doesn’t phase me, though. My mom and dad raised me a certain way. We never had a lot of money growing up, so they raised me to be frugal. They raised me to believe that name brand items aren’t necessary in…
Crustless Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I know. I know. Crustless pumpkin pie? Really? Yes, that’s what I mean. My daughter has always preferred the pumpkin pie filling and it turns out, so does my future stepson. His birthday party was several weeks ago and he asked me to make him a crustless pumpkin pie for his birthday. I know it’s…
Minecraft Birthday Party Decorations
A few weeks back my FSS (future stepson) celebrated his 10th birthday. We asked him what he wanted for a party and he chose a Minecraft one. That inevitably meant I had to go on a Pinterest search for Minecraft birthday party decorations. We had a limited budget to work with, so I got creative…
Chicken Enchiladas Recipe
With a family of six, there is ALWAYS something that needs to be done in our home, like vacuuming, sweeping, dishes, laundry, etc. And as my boyfriend is quick to point out, a woman’s work is never done. How right he is. I get out of bed at 6:15 in the morning and don’t fall…
