THURSDAY'S THRIFTY TIP

We at Living Large on Less DO NOT recommend jumping into the thrifty lifestyle all at once, unless you have no other alternative. We've been there too. However, if at all possible, enter the living large on less way of life one baby step at a time. That's what today's thrifty tip is: Choose one area of your life to practice thrift in. Some examples might be to make your own flour tortillas, cook your own refried beans, or make your own laundry soap. Perhaps you need to start somewhere even more basic. Maybe you need to practice turning off the lights when you leave the room or unplugging unneccesary appliances. Remember, the electric coffee pot doesn't need to be plugged in 24/7; neither does the toaster. Whatever you choose, stick with it, even if you forget. It will take some time before practicing thrift becomes natural.
