For my wedding reception (Second for both of us), I asked people to bring a potluck dish IN LIEU OF A PRESENT.
We are very casual people. We posted an open invitation on the church bulletin board. Other friends and family were mailed invitations about the size of thank you notes.
People really outdid themselves, bringing extravagant food dishes! Everyone LOVED the reception. They loved being able to participate as well.
You asked whether viewers would like to see more of these videos. Yes, please! This was so informative and enjoyable. I live very frugally on a very limited income, but rarely feel deprived, and I feel bonded to our "club" when I get to find out how others live this way, too. I enjoyed so many of the contributions to this video and could especially relate to the last one from the person who had turned their home into a very affordable sanctuary with soft music and everything. I live fairly similarly and home is my favorite place to be!
Hi, Hope & Larry! Thanks so much for including my submission about the amazing versatility of cabbage as a substitute for lettuce and as a staple green item in general (I also enjoyed your photos of your own food preparations that used cabbage.) A very recent savings practice I've also begun using is to stop shopping according to the weekly grocery store sales flyers. Occasionally they have a fantastic deal on something I normally purchase, but more commonly they prompt me to buy things I wouldn't have otherwise considered and could do without. Instead I have checked my local stores for items that have regular low prices so that they don't have to be on sale in order to be affordable. Then I start my shopping trips at Dollar General where they have a lot of items for only $1, then move to Dollar Tree for their $1.25 items, then move onto Smart & Final where they have great everyday prices and clearance sales. And I always take a very specific grocery list with me so that I'm not just browsing without a plan. Anyway, I'm a big fan, and thanks again!
I really enjoyed the video
Hope and Larry , I just love all your videos ❤️!!! Always learn something new every time ☺️👍. What a talent couple!!!!
Made soup for a church potluck and several ladies asked if they could put the Recipe in the church cookbook because they really loved it. Had to tell them sorry, it was "Refrigerator Soup", they did not understand. I cleaned out all the leftovers and made soup! Never the same twice.😊
Yes more coffee chats, love you guys
❤
Thank you for sharing my tip 🥰 i pray it will bless others!
Love the tips! Great reminders for a few of them. Yes, I'd love to hear more frugal tips from your viewers! It's many many years since we've had a clothes dryer too. We dry clothes on our outside clothesline when the weather is good or on 2 airers in our undercover patio when it's wet. Saves a lot of money on power bills & saves on the wear & tear with the clothes in a dryer! 🥰 Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
I agree with buying store brand products, but Please read the labels. Some store brand products are filled with additives and preservatives. while brand name will have whole foods in them. ( like the difference between store brand ice cream and a brand name like Breyer's, Breyers will only have real cream and fruit, and the store brand will be filled with words you can't even pronounce)
I'm that person who brings to-go containers to every potluck and work event. There is always extra food as well as treats I wouldn't normally buy. Less food waste and I save on meals. Win-win!
es love more tips have been watching you for years you and Frugal Monney Saver are the best You really have a scientific and tested approach to your advice. Thank you!

The idea of the solar sidewalk lights wouldn't work in my city because the homeless steel everything that isn't cemented into the sidewalk

Here is a Great tip I just found and used several times and it works Great
When cooking pasta
Bring water to a full rolling boil add pasta
Stir
Bring back up to a full rolling boil
Turn heat OFF put lid on
Half way thru the normal cooking time stir
Lid back on
It may take a minute or 2 more then the normal time on the instructions but it works Great 😊
I have used it on rice too,,I found I had to use less water for the rice ,,
Try it it works awesome 😊
For my kids I always diluted the juice
I like these types of videos 😊
I have a clothesline, I made my husband haul our dryer out when it died (not repairable) now we have a shelf there that holds gardening tools, shoes and my laundry soap. I don’t miss my dryer at all.
This was just a delightful video. Please keep this series going!
