Your examples are some that seem so easy for others to incorporate so let's hope that more begin to do so. If only we could convince more people to realize that along with the global pay offs they will receive personal payoffs from these choices as well. May you be blessed with a wonderful rest of your weekend!Simply Authentichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149087342124493037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-25844943709218876202007-07-08T11:21:00.000+10:002007-07-08T11:21:00.000+10:00You are truly an inspiration.

Right now our only debt is our new house though...so I am excited about that.

It a...Goodmorning Rhonda!<BR/>yay for Elegant Frugality! It amazes me how LITTLE we spend on food now that we grow lots of our own veggies and get the rest from the farmers market or whole food store. I LOVE not having to go into the supermarket or shopping centre for weeks and weeks on end. It makes me feel empowered and subversive all at once. And I notice now that rather than cruising around with a shopping trolley that increasingly gets filled with packaging and crap, I go in with a small list of 4 or 5 things, once a month. <BR/><BR/>I also appreciate how our cooking style has naturally gravitated to be more like my nanna - lots of fresh home grown meals made with love and what ever is in the garden or pantry. It makes me feel very connected to her. I feel RICH with my garen and home grown goodies, not frugal at all. <BR/><BR/>And I feel great knowing that the money we do spend on food at the farmers market goes directly to the farmer, and rewards them for choosing sustainable, pesticide and herbicide free farming methods. I happily pay a premium for that!<BR/><BR/>Have a lovely day.<BR/>tdhThe Duck Herderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804351827909380328noreply@blogger.com
