Frugal Update-The Packing Edition

by Jenn @ Frugal Upstate on February 6, 2010

I filmed another Frugal Update before flying out for the Blissdom conference on Wednesday. This one runs about 10 min long-enjoy!

I’d love to hear what you think of the video-even if it’s just “liked it, keep doing them”. . .

Jenn,
I love the chore chart and laptop sleeve ideas. In our husehold we use a star chart for the kids, sometimes it is effective sometimes not so much. My husband and I have to remember to give stars, I forget frequently. I believe I can springboard off your idea. You sounded simliar to myself with being so over the prep for school mess. No one finds anything yet they take everything off in the same place!!! Have a great weekend.

I love your videos. Even though my kids are 15,19, and 22, that chore “chart” would have worked wonders. Great idea!

Love the videos!! Really liked the clip board idea. The packing tips were great – I am heading out this week on a trip to CO — will use some of your tips for that trip. Have a great time while you are gone.

Hi Jenn,

I’ve enjoyed all your videos. That’s actually how I found you. It was the chicken video. Keep making them. You put a lot of info into into them without fluff or distracting mannerisms.

As a frequent business traveler, I think you hit just about all the packing tips I know and more.

I’m a military vet too but was in the Navy so we packed seabags.:)
