Wow, what a response already to desiring economy in 2009! I'm not exactly sure how this will work, but I think it would be great if we helped each other with accountability and inspiration.
With that in mind, I'm going to create an "I'm a Frugal Housewife" category for any posts I do on this topic, or any links I find to share. There are so many ways to pursue this--and so little time to find them all. So let's commit to helping each other!
Here's a button if you want one...I'll be putting this image in any post I do so it's quickly identifiable. And I think I'll put it on my sidebar too. No pressure for you to do the same--just if you want to!
To get just the image, you can click on it and save it to your desktop. Or if you want the button with the code, paste it into your sidebar.
Sorry if this appeared multiple times--took a few tries to get the code to go in correctly!
Joanne,
I think this is a wonderful idea. We all need to hold each other accountable. My time is the thing I need to focus on the most along with wasteful spending. Thanks for the post!

Okay...so I'm on a January Target fast, and now all coffee houses, too. Giving up Starbucks is too easy--we have a latte stand on every corner. On Thursday mornings, we usually stop for a latte/hot cocoa as a treat, but I think I can swing hot cocoa in a thermos for at least a month of Thursdays.

I love the button and have already got it in my sidebar. We did great this year at being more frugal with our money, but now we must move on to other things we waste too much of...mainly our time. Thanks for the gentle reminders and for thinking of this!
