You no longer need to have a computer for magic jack. Plus, you can pull the jack out and take it with you. Cells might not work in a location, but the jack will plug into any electrical outlet. January is the month I have to pay for tags and a few other things, so being extra frugal would not work for me.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-62011675753359699512018-01-07T12:35:17.342-06:002018-01-07T12:35:17.342-06:00Sam I’m a year dye free at the end of Jan it’s sav...Sam I’m a year dye free at the end of Jan it’s saved me a packet in time and money why not make 2018 the year you stop colouring your hair lolWendy @ The contented Cavernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12997397522566070661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-34943447181076533092018-01-07T08:34:24.929-06:002018-01-07T08:34:24.929-06:00Oh yes!

I love your spin on this - thanks for inspiring me to think things more through for January rather than giving up on starting the year super frugal! I think I needed to reminder that things don't always have to be "all or nothing". =)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15962759988828423369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-4094834678968698462018-01-06T08:52:49.955-06:002018-01-06T08:52:49.955-06:00The next time DD2 goes off on how she hates your g...The next time DD2 goes off on how she hates your grocery budget challenges maybe quell her reaction by producing a sheet with all the "extras" of hers you pay for(ie, show choir costs, if you pay for the gas she uses in your cars, buying her stuff, etc.).lolz<br />Kids, even good kids, can quickly develop a raging sense of entitlement and need reminders. 8-)))slugmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728856166374248591noreply@blogger.com
