My name is Sandra and I'm a 60'ish grandmother who loves to hike and backpack, that is when I'm not in the garden or cooking up frugal recipes and using up everything in the kitchen. My grandparents and parents grew up in a time when thrift and frugality were a way of life, so even when I'm able to spend anything I want it is my preference to live that simpler way of life with fewer choices, fewer things, focusing on the necessities and passing along tips and recipes that may help others find the savings to be had from managing their resources wisely.
