Recipe: Easy Spelt Crepes
| June 30, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Family Dinners under $3, Food Recipes |
The nice thing about not working right now is that I get to make a good breakfast in the morning, one that requires a bit more effort and time. I had a craving for crepes but didn’t want to use wheat flour so I took out some light spelt and made these. You can also…
How a fashonista survives on a tight budget

Ok, so it was Sunday afternoon and my partner and I decided to go for a drive. We live in a province with a really incredible chain of thrift stores (mostly clothes). The one that is 90mins away from the city is probably the best one. People from the city drive up there because it’s…

I’ve been eating toast all week for breakfast since I had made my own bread & strawberry jam. Now I am tired of toast and wanted to move onto something else. Here is my own granola recipe. Granola is easy to make and so tasty. I am going to be eating this with fresh local…

Frugal Super-Ghetto Meals under 10 minutes
| June 23, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Family Dinners under $3, Food Recipes |
I tend not to be eating that much lately since I’ve stopped working. I shrank once again and I think it’s time to start eating donuts to fatten up! . I blame this on what I am calling the “ghetto” meals I have been surviving on. Although I don’t claim that these meals are overly…
The low cost of being anti-social
| June 22, 2010 | Posted by thefrugalvegan under Frugal Entertainment |
Forgive me if this sounds like a depressing post, but I have been pretty alone as of late. My partner has been away a lot (to no fault of his own) and most of my friends don’t live in town and a few others don’t have much time. On one hand, this upsets me a…
When to replace something and buy new

As luck would have it, our desktop computer kept crashing and it didn’t look like it could be salvaged this time around. This thing had been revamped and upgraded as cheaply as possible for the last 5 years. I think the computer may even have been 7-8 years old which is ancient in computer years.…
