For some of us, cold weather really never left this year, but either way, cooler or colder weather is coming and we need to prepare for it. It may seem early [...]]]></description>

You can do a whole family's laundry in one morning per week, and not even think about it for another week. It gets grungy clothes clean without having to use spot cleaners or pre-washes or soaks or whatever.]]></description>

She didn&#8217;t have food stamps or a welfare check or earned income credit. She did have fresh food, good water and a zest for life.

		<description><![CDATA[When I moved to town from the country a few years ago, this backyard was one of those pristine, closely clipped lawns with a lovely flower garden in the midst of it. Not anymore. The flower garden this year grew corn and beans and squash, and wild sunflowers graced the back of the garage. Smaller oil type sunflowers grew on the south side of the patio, mixed in with millet and whatever else was in that cup of birdseed I scattered there. So now you're thinking I must be some kind of nut, else why would I purposely let my backyard go to weeds?]]></description>

That's the sneaky beast that gets into our laundry and makes off with just one of a perfectly good pair of socks, leaving us with baskets or boxes of unmatched ones. Never fear: Pat Veretto, our favorite thrift expert, has a whole bunch of tips on great ways to use those lonely socks!]]></description>

The frugal among us have known for years that you don&#8217;t gun the engine just so you can slam on the brakes at the next stop light, and you don&#8217;t drive unnecessarily, and you don&#8217;t drive [...]]]></description>

So said Michael Levenston of City Farmer, on the eve of the year 2000, otherwise known as Y2K &#8211; the year of panic.
That wisdom is just as relevant now as it was then, although perhaps in a slightly different setting. [...]]]></description>

That makes a lot of sense, but it&#8217;s not a popular method and the reason is time. It takes years and years for a walnut tree to grow big enough to cast a [...]]]></description>
