Cool stuff on Amazon 


I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can be more frugal and simplify my life more. What these things come down to for me, is simply getting back to basics. Just because it's 2008, doesn't mean I can't strive for frugality and simplicity. In fact, maybe because it's 2008, I should be striving for it more. Everything seems to be going up except paychecks. It's time to settle down into doing things more simply and more cost-effectively around my home.


These products are essential for your kitchen - as the recession hits we need to go back to the basics of making our food from scratch. Look at my other squidoo site (The Credit Crunchies) for more tips.
