    not entirely frugal oriented but useful in a frugal lifestyle

    http://www.organizedhome.com/

    i can also second the dollar stretcher site, i've used that periodically for years

    http://www.stretcher.com/index.cfm

    frugal genius will hopefully have a new website (the other one is defunct) maybe in the next 6 months or so depending on time finances and my family life settling down... collecting info, designing etc as i have time ;)

    I don't really have much time to get on many frugal sites but I do go on my local freecyclers website: http://www.freecyclers.org.uk/

    I've given away a highchair, baby toys and cot mobile to plaster materials and I got a free sewing machine...plus advice and offers of help with other stuff like applying for an allotment. Its a really great site if you've got one running near you. :)

    I've pm'd you a couple of days ago. I'd love to look at this site, it looks really interesting but I've been trying to register since October and I'm still waiting approval. There are probably others as well as me because it's been mentioned a few times on this board. When you get the chance it would be great if you could send me an invite or do the Yahoo approval. Hope your problems get sorted soon - have a good Easter
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    I'm usually posting or reading most days on the forum at http://www.frugalliving.about.com

    This one was suggested on there recently and I am still poking about on it - it is quite nice : http://www.cindysporch.net/ there are some sheets for doing pantry inventories and I like the shop at home motto!!!

    Regards

    Like Katie said https://www.frugalliving.about.com. Those American gals are just great!! Very inspiring. Also good to hear their philosophies and economizing as you just seem to hear about the gas guzzling greedy consumerist Yankies and these girls are the exact opposite.

    I often buy DVDs for presents and always check for the best prices on https://www.find-dvd.co.uk
    Oh dear, here we go again.
  • Another American site but with a lot of handy OS hints. Luckily I could ignore the 'Rid your pet of skunk spray smell' hint but I've put this on my bloglines list of monitored blogs and have found it consistently useful. Her tip on how to keep a paint tray clean was so obvious I couldn't believe I had never done it.

  • Thanks for that.

    Have added to my favourites to have a good look later. Am addicted to organizing sites.
  • Hi guys

    Not sure if any have seen this but M&S have launched a new Plan A website, it has great ways encouraging you to recycle and pledge with it's online community.

    Have a look http://www.plana.marksandspencer.com/
