during tough economic times, we have to learn to spend our money wisely. gone are the days when i buy whatever i want, whenever i want such as subscribing to a parenting magazine and adding new songs to my ipod. while both are relatively inexpensive, they do add up.
our fantastically frugal tip: OPEN A LIBRARY CARD!
this is the solution i have found to the things i've mentioned above. the library has a good selection of magazines. new issues cannot be checked out but previous months are available and can be checked out for a week. cds can be checked out for 3 weeks as well as most books. dvds are also available, and free to check out. no need to pay $5 each time you borrow from blockbuster. i borrowed 2 christian cds and added them to my ipod and borrowed last month's issue of Parenting magazine. =) and it didn't cost me anything!
the library is about 4 blocks away from our house and is a convenient stop when i'm running errands. i brought michelle there last week and she enjoyed picking books and looking at all the pictures. it's a nice (and totally free) way to get kids interested in books and reading.
