“Living Cheap” is not the way to have a real Thrifty Life. A young woman approximately early twenty something, with a fairly decent job and paycheck writes about living cheap, why I don’t know except that she fell under the spell of the little plastic card. I have read her stuff but it like I was at her age. I read a book “Champagne living on a beer budget: How to buy the best for less” by Mike Ferguson; Marilyn Ferguson Published by, Putnam [1968] and I proceeded to try to live a thrifty life with a lot of trial and error. Lol!
What I write about in my “Thrifty Living in Carolina & Beyond” is decades of actual experience of living a thrifty life subtracting the pit falls I have blunder into which the 20 something seems to be doing right now. She just discovers about saltines and honey which someone introduced her to put forgot to tell her about adding peanut butter. Now what I would do is go to the Sara Lee bread company thrift store and buy some real whole wheat and have a peanut butter and honey sandwich which is good nourishment and very thrifty. The cost of honey is high but per portion the price is very thrifty. You may look at the other in-store whole wheat bread compare to the Sara Le brand you may get a better price per pound. But go to the Sara Lee thrift store they have more than just bread. They have cookies, peppermint balls at reduced prices.
But if you can find an Arnold bread or Pepperidge Farms bakery thrift store you get really great bread at a really thrifty price.
I spend a lot of time which college students as well as graduates and they are like I was and thought they knew everything and fall flat on their face.
I hope she learns to read blogs of wisdom like mine and others that can show her how to have a great life by “Thrifty Living” not by living cheap. You learn to make wise choices as well as group bulk buying power and life can be fun.
Oh P.S. while Saltines is good I rather have a “Ritz”
I hope you all a Thrifty life that Yeshua/Jesus promised in John 10:10 if you have any questions or comments you and email me at wmsblog”AT”yahoo.com
