Tightwad in Training: October 2010
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 30, 2010. I just went over to the library and checked out the three volumes of The Tightwad Gazette. They didn't have the complete volume, so I have three books to heft around. That's okay. I'll burn five extra calories this way. Some of them are things we won't ever do. We don't have a fireplace and never have occasion to buy firewood. Sending in all the neighborhood's bills in one envelope doesn't apply because we pay all our bills online. Anyway, even the things that aren't going to ...

Tightwad in Training: My head is too small
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2010/12/my-head-is-too-small.html
Saturday, December 18, 2010. My head is too small. People to see One Last Time, chipped paint to take care of, children to keep alive, et cetera. It also means my funny bone is mostly gone, but I'll update just because a few of you have asked. Once I'm less overwhelmed, I'm sure I'll have all sorts of things to say. Probably more than you want to hear. Speaking of Grace, she is suddenly. normal. To barely a yelp. She ate seven large, weird-looking mushrooms (in sauce! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tightwad in Training: Moving is not conducive to tightwadding
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2011/01/moving-is-not-conducive-to-tightwadding.html
Thursday, January 6, 2011. Moving is not conducive to tightwadding. I've been hiding from this blog in shame. We've spent the last two weeks throwing caution and money to the wind in an effort to alleviate the insanity that is moving. Paper plates! We're still living in the hotel, but at least The Guy's job is paying for our food and basic living expenses. This means we get a nice introduction to Salt Lake City's varied cuisine while someone else picks up the tab. I have two new daily money-saving ideas.

Tightwad in Training: Toilet
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2010/11/toilet.html
Wednesday, November 17, 2010. I know this is totally gross. Which is why I will only do it when it's just me at home. I'm going to flush less. I've always though this was something only weirdo crunchy types did. So I guess I'm turning into a weirdo crunchy type. But it's hard to argue with 1.6 gallons of water per flush. That's $.38/flush each day (can that possibly be right? Maybe I'm reading this. I knew this was all wrong. It's $1.87 per one hundred. November 18, 2010 at 6:07 PM. Yea in the morning if...

Tightwad in Training: I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2010/11/i-cant-believe-i-didnt-think-of-this.html
Friday, November 26, 2010. I can't believe I didn't think of this sooner. The fans in the kids' rooms! Idiot We switched those out for the noise machines we use when we travel. I figure between naps and nighttimes, that's $.26/day. I'll have to look at the actual wattage on them later, but I'm guessing a fan on high draws 100W, and the noise machines draw 2W each. Yippee! I'm never going to make it to 100, am I? Please email me if your comment wont go through. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Tightwad in Training: January 2011
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Dear sister, I know you will laugh at this post. But don't make fun of me too much until you see my hair. I'll never have fabulous hair, but this is the most fabulous it's ever been in my entire life. It's kind of a pain in the rear since I have to rinse it forever and a day, lest I smell like vinegar. But I consider it worth it. My hair not only looks better, but it's softer, shinier, and it does the things I tell it to. Step One: Baking soda. Pour about 1/4 cup of your choice...

Tightwad in Training: DIY Updates
http://tightwadintraining.blogspot.com/2011/03/diy-updates.html
Thursday, March 10, 2011. So, update on the DIY stuff, right? Shampoo/Conditioner: Oh, this took a while after we moved. It was so slow I didn't notice it, but one day I looked in the mirror and saw that my hair looked. waxy. Not dirty or greasy, just weird. And it would not curl. So then I decided to run the bath faucet as hot as it would go before each shower and filling up with that. Magic! It worked again. Now my problem is my hair getting too clean. July 20, 2011 at 10:41 PM. Could there be residue ...
