Hello World!
I am the fabulous Mrs. K, and I'm here to... well, to tell you of my wildly adventurous and frugal life. I suppose I should start off with a few tidbits about myself and why I have staked my claim on this little piece of the internet pie.
First off; a little info on my household. There are four of us living here; Me, my darling husband (we shall call him Mr. K) and we have recently added his brother TK to the mix. We also have teeny black cat KK. Our major breadwinner is Mr. K; working at GRCC. I do freelance work with a local computer repair shop, and TK serves up KFC with a spot of sports writing on the side. KK prefers bringing dangerous levels of cute to the house. We're just average folk with not a lot of money coming in (who does these days?) - which leads me to my next bit.
With our low income and the falling economy I have developed something of an anti-consumerism kick. It only fueled the fire when Mr. K's job came under threat. Slowly, over the past year and a half or so, I have stopped buying things that aren't... I suppose the phrase would be "used up repeatedly". A friend (the same who suggested I start this blog) suggested we call them "Depletables".
Recently in the quest to save more money I have been actively looking for ways to replace my Depletables with Reusables. Why bother with a repeated purchase when a single purchase can be made? The changes were simple enough to make: using microfiber cloths (or mitts) instead of toss-away dusters, favoring floursack cloths over paper towels, and replacing cloth napkins instead of using the paper ones. It really isn't as difficult as you would think.
TLDR: There are four of us in the house: Me, Mr. K, his brother TK, and our cat KK. We don't make a lot of money. I've started this blog as a documentary and commentary on how I manage to save us a few bucks here and there (they really add up over time!).
Type atcha later,
~Mrs. K
