I'm featuring your post this week. :)Anna @ Feminine Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14950485687773516711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088030520552625439.post-85705301676402657122012-07-20T21:29:49.857-07:002012-07-20T21:29:49.857-07:00LeMira, I'm right with you the clothes - espec...LeMira, I'm right with you the clothes - especially kids clothes. I've bought kid's clothes or shoes that have literally lasted days and wondered why I even bothered...they were almost disposable! Hey that's an idea for someone to market - disposable clothes! Ha ha!<br /><br />Eden Allison, thanks for pointing out the application to food and food storage. I can see lots hidden costs that I spend on food like freezer bags, freezer space, refrigerator costs, food I end up throwing out, storage containers, and lots of time buying, rotating and managing! I think those are great points to consider and I look forward to reading your post next week.Heather {Healthy Family Cookin}https://www.blogger.com/profile/03484537715981054073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5088030520552625439.post-70645857607021390142012-07-20T17:30:46.552-07:002012-07-20T17:30:46.552-07:00Immediately after I left my first comment, I was s...Immediately after I left my first comment, I was so inspired I wrote a Frugal Friday post for next Friday, linking to this post, applying these ideas to food.

As you buy THRIVE foods, they are NOT refrigerated or frozen - they just need space on a shelf (preferably not in the hot garage) to keep their optimal shelf life (usually 1-2 years AFTER they are opened).<br />So I have thought of some of these points for food, but not always for the others.

For example, I bought some baby sleepers recently cheaply at a well-known store, and within a couple of wearings, the stitching in the toes had come undone or worn out. While I didn't replace them, I'm too cheap, uh, frugal, I mean, I was frustrated on spending money on something that didn't last.LeMirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02196699524583350846noreply@blogger.com
