Frugal Face Cream, Working From Home, etc - Make your own facial moisturizer, are there legitimate work at home businesses and is there really such a thing as a free lunch?

Frugal Gardening Ideas - Gardening is the number one hobby in America. But it doesn't have to cost you a fortune. I know friends who purchase ready-to-plant flowers and shrubs every spring. This costs them $200-300 per year. It is convenient to have an instant garden, but it can be done for less.

Not only does it save money to make your own but it tastes great and is lots of fun for the kids. Try this great recipe with your kids today.

Homemade Easy Bake Oven Mixes - Q: My daughter loves her Easy Bake Oven, but the mixes go for about $5.00 each. Is there a cheaper way? A: I agree with you. There has to be a cheaper way to make cakes and cookies than buy their mixes. So we have a collection of recipes for doing it ourselves.

Homemade Pudding Mixes - My family really enjoys Jell-O pudding. I know there has to be a way to make our own and save some money. Do you have a recipe for pudding? See what our expert had to say.

Odyssey Into Frugality - Parenthood brings about many changes -- but frugality was not one that I expected. My husband and I had a pleasant lifestyle. Adding a child made it even more pleasant. But, as the years went by, I could see that I had to make a choice. What was best for my child?

Pets on a Budget - Getting a family pet can be one of the most rewarding things for a child. The pet provides companionship, entertainment and exercise. But sometimes the wrong pet for the family style and needs can be disastrous.
