Man’s Best (& Most Expensive) Friend

Pets are worth it, but let’s be honest, they can be a bit of a drain on your budget.  The haircuts, the manicures, the food, clothing, toys, daycare – there’s no other friend in your inner circle who expects you to support them in the lifestyle to which your pet has become accustomed.  But we’re dog (and cat) people, so we say yes to pets, but remember – you AND your pets are FrugalitariansTM.  Here are some of our favorite ways to save on pet care...

Planting a Seed

Just a generation or two ago, vegetable gardens were common.  But alas, we’ve grown away from that simpler, healthier way of living and we’re paying for it in more ways than one.  Naturally, we think growing our own fruits and vegetables is worth the effort because it’s totally FrugalitarianTM.  So if you’re thinking of tightening your purse strings and expanding your garden, we’ve got some valuable information to help your efforts take root.  Click www.thefrugalitarian.com/grow/.
