A mom and daughter duo drawing on a family history of surviving the Great Depression, 4H, farming, and victory gardening, home economics (mom’s degree) and history (daughter’s degree) to pass on to you the skills that can make each of us a prudent consumer. A combination of wit, thrift, and grit that will see us all through the tough times and the good times.

As a disclosure: I am an Amazon Associate and as such I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases. Usually these recommendations and attached links are for products I own or have owned and use or have used, however, occasionally I’ll link to something that is similar to something I’d recommend, but don’t actually own myself. This is a side income for me, so by no means are you pressured to purchase an item through these links, but if you are inclined to purchase, please consider using the links I’ve supplied. I appreciate the business (and so does Amazon, no doubt)!
