Frugal Friday

[ecosophia]

Welcome back to Frugal Friday! This is a weekly forum post to encourage people to share tips on saving money, especially but not only by doing stuff yourself. A new post will be going up every Friday, and will remain active until the next one goes up. Contributions will be moderated, of course, and I have some simple rules to offer, which may change further as we proceed.

Rule #1:  this is a place for polite, friendly conversations about how to save money in difficult times. It's not a place to post news, views, rants, or emotional outbursts about the reasons why the times are difficult and saving money is necessary. Nor is it a place to use a money saving tip to smuggle in news, views, etc.  I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

Rule #2:  this is not a place for you to sell goods or services, period. Here again, I have a delete button and I'm not afraid to use it.

Rule #3:  please give your tip a heading that explains briefly what it's about.  Homemade Chicken Soup, Garden Containers, Cheap Attic Insulation, and Vinegar Cleans Windows are good examples of headings. That way people can find the things that are relevant for them. If you don't put a heading on your tip it will be deleted.

Rule #4: don't post anything that would amount to advocating criminal activity. Any such suggestions will not be put through.

With that said, have at it!

Re: Cheap Towels

[(Anonymous)]

For guest towels look to sales, and this is a great time of year. It used to be the online store Sierra Trading post had such, I find them hit or miss since COVID, but worth a look. RIghtnow Coyuchi is having a sale, these are organic grown cotton items, and right now there is a 4 piece set, in the choice of a couple colors, for $60, which is exceedingly frugal for organic cotton towels, I bought a set of their from SIerra Trading post years ago, a yellow color they were discontinuing, and they are holding up well. https://www.coyuchi.com/products/air-weight-organic-towels-set-of-4?variant=50114097414436 $60 is halfoff, no idea how long that price holds,today and this weekend are high sale days.

For rags, so if one of your local thrift stores has abuy by the bag day and get t shirts and horrid patterned sheets to rip up
