I believe in having creature comforts for the best cost. Sometimes, this means saving up, looking for a free option,and bartering. We are on our second hot tub. The first one was an inexpensive version that I sold on Craigslist. Our second hot tub I found on Facebook Marketplace for free. The deal was it needed to be picked up within a few hours. My husband and I loaded it on the truck.
Hottub price: free
Outdoor sauna: cost of materials 200 hundred dollars these can range anywhere from 1000-3000 dollars.
The Home gym has paid for itself.
Above Ground pool 900 dollars on clearance 279 and paid for with gift card from survey work.
A frugal household is often shifting time and resources. I know that making 3 lasgnas saves money and time for lean weeks. Canning and freezing produce saves us money and time in the winter. Raising pigs, chickens, ad buying half a cow reduces our meat bills. The meat is cleaner. i know where to save for ourlives where we live. We live in a rural area. We have Walmart and City Market which I do not care to serve all our needs. By doing DIY products, I save money and time.
Entertainment in Colorado can cost little more than a tank of gas. We hike, take the kids fishing, and disc golfing. On the winter night, a cup of hot herbal tea grown from my garden and sweeten with honey from our hives and a good thick book.
We are blessed to have a home of solitude and solace. This evening I knew I had watched too much news. I went for a run with the dogs, I came home and got into the hot tub and sauna.
In these times of politcial strife and horrific news from the Middle East, Russia posturing, and Ukraine. It is very important to limit watching the news if it triggers you. I find reading the news to be less troubling, the visuals get me. I spend time in quiet solace praying that the world comes in peaceful balance.
