November 19, 2010 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 2 Comments

Over the years, in my journey with Frugal Living I have also found myself on a journey to more sustainable/organic living.

Marketside Menu Plan for 11/1

November 1, 2010 By Jenn @ Frugal Upstate 3 Comments

Eureka Vacuum

Sometimes a review opportunity comes along at just the right time. My vacuum is dying.  I mean really dying.  I’ve been considering buying a new one-but of course being a frugal gal I am at loathe to buy something new when the old one is still working-albeit poorly.  Of course the fact that I typically… Keep Reading
