We take our TV and DVD player outside and have movies on the deck at night. It's like going to the drive-in movies while staying at home.

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

LOVE this!

@amandamaple5524 3 месяца назад

I told my Mom about this idea and she gave me a DVD player that she was not using anymore so we can do movies outside this summer! Score!

@cynthia57169 3 месяца назад

That’s awesome! We once celebrated a child’s birthday by setting up a screen house in the backyard, running the TV out to watch King Kong, and then sleeping outside. Cost: zero. Memories:priceless.

I live in South Carolina. On one of our hot days a few weeks ago, my compressor on my HVAC unit died. I called my repairman who has always been so good to me. He understands that my funds are very limited. After diligent searching and cajoling, he was able to find me a brand new scratch-and-dent unit for only $250 and won't accept anything for his labor! In a previous home, he had given me a used unit for only $800 for his labor and Freon. God has truly blessed me through him over and over! I share this so that people can realize that a brand new unit doesn't have to be the only solution!

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

What a blessing! That is so wonderful!

@susanf4857 3 месяца назад

I always tell people to do your research if an appliance breaks. Google the issue and look it up on RU-vid. You would be surprised at how many things you can fix yourself. Of course if you are uncomfortable fixing something then call a professional. My husband replaced a heater part for $80. An HVAC guy recommended we get an entirely new system 😬

@vickilandtiser2511 3 месяца назад

We usually grill out once a week in the summer but when we do, we load up the whole grill. We will cook hamburgers, hot dogs, pork chops, chicken breasts, etc. Then we will reheat the meat during the week and add sides to go with. . This allows us to cook once and not heat up the kitchen with cooking most of the week. Enjoyed the video.

@joanncole9603 3 месяца назад

Wow! I am impressed.

@terriny1040 3 месяца назад

My husband and I do the same thing.. saves so much time doesn’t it?

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

The cooked meat is still okay after a week, Vicki?

@vickilandtiser2511 3 месяца назад

Cooked meat will last from 5-7 days in the refrigerator

@vickilandtiser2511 3 месяца назад

If you can't use it in five days, throw in freezer and thaw and reheat when needed. Tonight we cooked, hot dogs, burgers and chicken strips. I put half the burgers and half the strips in freezer bags. Will get them out towards the end of next week.

@howitworksforme 3 месяца назад

In summer I try to (pre)cook at nighttime (before going to bed) with open windows. A) the house does not heat up and cools down over night B) Electricity tends to be cheaper at night C) I get to cook in peace without the kids running around😂 Love your channel, btw❤

@katherinerichardson1767 3 месяца назад

Wash all the fabric things that only need to be washed occasionally, while it is hot and dry out, so you can hang dry them instead of using the dryer.

@joannereynolds69 3 месяца назад

This is exactly what I was going to say 😊

@mrs.brayman4840 3 месяца назад

Hello Everyone, one of our family's favorite things to do in the summer is pack picnic lunches. When going to Dr., business, and various appointments, we will often pack a picnic and stop at a park and maybe even a beach, depending on where we have to go that day. Ever since I was a child, to me, a picnic is an adventure where we can eat, relax, and daydream as we watch the clouds float by. Enjoy your summer everyone😊

@GretchenBostrom 3 месяца назад

I got an ice cream maker on Amazon during one of their big sales. I love making ice cream, especially in the summer, to give as gifts, to bring to cookouts, and to keep for myself. Much better quality than anything you can buy and something fun to do.

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

So true!

@sabrinadevol1210 3 месяца назад

I enjoy coffee on my east-facing front porch. I watch the birds at my bird feeders and get some morning sun before it gets too hot. I enjoy hearing my chimes and the fragrance of my flowers. This habit allows me to start my day with peace, positivity, and thankfulness. Love the grilled veggie sandwich idea! Blessings.

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Sounds like an absolutely ideal way to start your day!

@d.parisi 3 месяца назад

My tip is for people who live in warmer climates Turn your AC up. When it's 95 outside 79 is still cool inside...think about it...maybe even try it for a few days and don't forget to use your fans. If you keep your AC on 68(which a lot of people do) you will have a harder time adjusting to the heat and if the power goes out it might be more difficult for you if you always have your AC set so low.

@rosemarydoran9907 3 месяца назад

I take a blood thinner so I tend to be chilly so I can keep my a/c at 78-80 and be comfortable. When I am doing things around the house, I keep a small fan going along with ceiling fans. I live in the midwest and it is quite humid and hot in the summer.

@user-lh1sw4tu1k 3 месяца назад

We also close the insulated curtains at the windows that the sun is shining through. :)

@brg2743 3 месяца назад

We will probably keep the blackout curtains closed on really hot days. We run the fans. Hoping to get a few solar camping fans to save on electric that way. We also got two solar lanterns at Aldi for $6.99 for use to save electric.

@Back-handedLuck-ul7ms 3 месяца назад

You are right. Also use fans where necessary, do hot things at night (cooking, heavy cleaning, etc) and drink iced things. A side benefit I have found is that I rarely catch colds ( I keep the house very cool in winter). I live on the Texas Gulf coast so winter is rarely a problem.

@cynthia57169 3 месяца назад

The a/c cuts the humidity as well as cooling the air. Both of those increase the comfort of the home

Dear Emmy, most of the things you have mentioned are my summer frugal tips, lol, I think I have been listening to you for so long that it comes natural! One frugal tip that you have mentioned many times is to use your library. Turns out this time of the year my library gives away packets of free heirloom organic seeds. Every time I've been to the library I've grabbed a few and now I am planting them in our garden. And yes, there are tons of things to do for free! We have free summer concerts in our area, we go to parks, we go to the beach, and although we have to pay a parking fee, if you bring your food, and a book, it is so frugal! I love spring and summer!

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Thanks so much for the kin comment!

@Thealphagorl 3 месяца назад

My best frugal tip if you have kids: Make your own popsicles. You know whats in there and at least here in europe the ice cream prices are out of hand. You can make it with water and juice Smoothie ices Yoghurt and fruit They will love it and it saves me a ton of money every summer ❤️

@howitworksforme 3 месяца назад

That is such a good idea!

@user-qc8do8rl6f 3 месяца назад

I've just seen someone making Popsicles made of watermelon 🍉 75% - coconut 🥥 20% and kiwi 🥝 to the top of the popscicle form. Freeze. Then eat.

@sheemaalen9286 3 месяца назад

Luv this! Plus ice cream is usually pretty fattening w lots of sugar. 😢. Just thot u can make frozen bananas dipped in chocolate and rolled in nuts. Then keep in a zip lock in freezer 😊

@heronswood8924 3 месяца назад

Thank you for this video. It got me thinking about all the things we enjoyed in 1960s summers that didn’t cost anything. We had picnics in our garden and cooled off in the paddling pool 😊 We played with skipping ropes, hopscotch, made a garden ‘den’ with whatever we could use. In fact, back in those days we used our imaginations more and that was good fun. We were cowboys and cowgirls, Indians and squaws, Superman, inventors, magicians… We made lemonade, and ice lollies in plastic moulds and shared them with our friends. We cycled, scootered or roller skated, and played on the swings in the park. Our father would make us children low stilts out of wood. It was nice to read our library books and colour in pictures in somewhere cool and shady. I don’t remember feeling deprived because we weren’t spending money going or doing expensive activities all the time. My parents were family oriented 😀

@tgayer1 3 месяца назад

Thanks for reminding me of memories of my childhood in the 1970s!

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

So well said!! Sounds like my upbringing in the 70's as well!

@susanf4857 3 месяца назад

I had a similar childhood. 😊 I get sad when I see a news story about kids who are neglected. I wish every kid could have my childhood. No expensive trips or alot of money spent on toys but lots of imagination, outdoor time and time spent with my parents. I wouldn't trade it for the world!

@Heyrizzo 3 месяца назад

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

You as well, thank you Melissa!

@carolynb2457 3 месяца назад

Great tips! I watch for anyone giving away free perennials to fill up the spaces in my yard that could use extra interest. People in my region are always dividing daylilies, hostas and irises and just giving them away. I have a large yard and prefer to spend money on smaller areas where I can get the most impact so those areas are where I plant the annuals. Also have used silk flowers in hanging planters that look very real from the street and can reuse for several years. You both scored on your date day. Those Christmas tablecloths are gorgeous and I know Emmy’s heart sang when she spotted them 😊. The little white lamp turned out perfectly. I believe Paul can fix anything. Have a great weekend and Happy Mother’s Day to Emmy and Paul’s lovely Mom ❤

@sheridefelice3734 3 месяца назад

I have a "kitchen area" in my garage.. Counter, cabinets etc. I have a large toaster oven and electric frying pan set up. Instead of heating up (and messing up 😉 😂) my inside kitchen, I quite often cook out there. I often batch cook and make serving sizes for me and my husband and bake in my toaster oven. Sometimes we only have baked potatoes for dinner.. Why heat up the large inside oven and house? (we live in Florida.. Its already been in the hi 90's 😳😰) I can also cook many meals in my electric frying pan. It works great! 👏🏻

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

So creative! Love that so much!

@cynthia57169 3 месяца назад

Similar setup here. I cook salsa to can in the garage on a one-burner electric stove ($15). Using the crockpot out there is another option we’ve tried. Note: This garage is very clean! No gas and oil in it. All the yard machines, etc, are in an outbuilding.

@susanf4857 3 месяца назад

My husband will fry outside on the grill. I hate the mess and grease in the kitchen!

@edithjohnson6835 3 месяца назад

Black out curtains can save on electric or gas bills. If it is hot in Georgia or really cold, I pull the curtains. All curtains in my house are blackout. Yes, they cost a bit more but in the long run, they pay for themselves.

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Exactly! So smart, Edith!

Hi Emmy and Paul. A frugal tip.. I know here in NY State veterans and the disabled are able to get free passes into state parks, and I believe some campsites as well.. 💗

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Thanks, Terri!

@rachelparmater892 3 месяца назад

That works for National parks too. They can bring a spouse or caretaker with them , for free!

@cedarcottagefarm2885 3 месяца назад

We love our free events in our area. We also check for senior day. We have places that let seniors in free on certain days. This tip is not free but it is one of the best things we have purchased. If you travel around the US and are a senior citizen, get your senior pass. It has a fee but does not expire. We get into all national parks and national monuments free. If you are a camper, you can camp for 1/2 off. We have used ours for several years and was money well spent. We usually spend a couple of weeks traveling every year just to visit what our country has to offer.

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Yes, that's. great tip! Thanks!

@rachelparmater892 3 месяца назад

Veterans can get the Parks Pass for free. A spouse or caretaker is allowed to accompany the vet for free too.

@chrisk4053 3 месяца назад

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

We love to do that too!

@nanag2526 3 месяца назад

Going to a state park with a lake, small beach area, and lifeguard. It’s free. Bring a picnic and, if it’s hot, there is a food stand where you can buy packaged ice cream treats or a milkshake. For an extra special treat, there’s a small old time pretzel shop where you can still buy soft pretzels warm in a brown paper bag!

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Oh, that sounds wonderful!

@ll8621 3 месяца назад

My favorite most frugal summer tip is to grocery shop in my garden. Today I had a stir fry. I was planning on getting pea pods and swiss chard. While shopping I also found 3 radishes, baby kale, an onion, 3 parsnips and beet greens. Along with a few other veggies from my freezer and fridge, and chicken breast- we had a delicious meal. We also go to rummage sales and get our winter supply of books to read. Summer is a fantastic time to stock up for winter things to do :)

@rev.ruthe.gallot9103 3 месяца назад

I enjoy hiking which, beyond the gas, is free, I also like setting myself a quest, this summer it is to hike to find as many waterfalls as I can. I invited friend on Facebook to join me and have several takers. I have a book that lists 100 different waterfalls in one area of my state but there are many more. I have not decided yet but I am thinking of trying to see 25 different waterfalls over the summer and autumn. I always pack a lunch, usually meet up and carpool with a friend if it is a longer distance and, of course, always dress appropriately and carry water.

@CookingwithDesi 3 месяца назад

Ricketts Glenn in Pa has a lot of waterfalls in 1 park. It takes about 3-4 hours to navigate it, but if you go in u have to complete it. You can’t turn around. It was beautiful but is quite strenuous and the rocks get quite slippery. Once was enough for me🤣

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Oh my goodness that sounds magnificent! Enjoy!

@sandradee4470 3 месяца назад

Great tips. My hubby and I planted vegetables in big planters. Tomatoes, red and green bell peppers, cucumbers, yellow squash and okra. It brings us so much joy and it provides good fresh food. I'm working on meal rotation lists as well. Love this channel.

YES! How I wished we had a beach near us here in NY!

@nyssakeith 3 месяца назад

Thank you for another wonderful video, so many helpful tips and reminders!! In the summer, my husband and I take Sunday drives across our province to different areas. There is so much beauty in the outdoors. In the winter, I rented some books from the library to find even more neat places to go. We eat breakfast at home before we go, and have some easy freezer food waiting for us when we get home to save money. Then, the rest is all budgeted and mostly free/low cost fun within a few hours of where we live!

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Sounds perfect!

Again extreme heat here in MB, so having my coffee and researching your videos. We have blinds as wells as sheets or curtains on all our windows. I also do laundry and run dishwasher only during non-stop peak electric times. It really helps! I am never bored! I still spend at least an hour/ day, evening now because of heat, in my yard gardening. I also crochet daily, and recently donated 13 blankets to Project Linus, a great organization!!! Also love to cook, do crosswords, read 2-3 books at a time, and play my favorite game on my Kindle. Happily retired in SC!😎🏝

When we retired we downsized to a senior friendly smaller home on a couple acres. Hubby has a workshop for his woodworking hobby. Big garden. I'm just finished up canning a bumper crop of tomatoes into catsup, juice, and stewed. Heat really ruined everything else. Just a bit of corn and melons and lots of garlic. We don't do much traveling due to health.

@susannekimberland1951 22 дня назад

We stock up on meat for the week at Aldi and grill it on Sunday. The cooked goodies are popped into the fridge for quick and easy dinners throughout the week. This is saving us quite a bit. It replaces our stops at the local grocery store for baked chicken we’d buy for dinner after a long work day. It also gives us variety.

@FrugalMoneySaver 20 дней назад

That’s a great way to do it!

My Mother’s Day gift will cost only the gas to go to Denver. There is a candy store that had been in business I think 100 years. It is a free tour. Then a trip to IKEA. It will be fun and not a expensive day.

Go to airport and watch planes land and take off with grandkids and pack a picnic lunch. They really enjoy this. I live about 1.5 hours away from Charlotte Douglass International Airport. It is a great activity any time of year with our pretty mild weather most months.

dont know if this is frugal. i needed fish for my pond, i have a small 250 gallon pond. i didn't want to spend 100.00 on fish. so in the midst of praying about how to get fish for cheap. my neighbor called me and asked if i wanted her fish. she was getting rid of her pond. so for the adventure of fishing, i brought home, 3 bass, 2 sunfish, 4 gold fish, and about 40 small minnows. they are happy swimming around and they bring me much joy as i sit in my deck chair watching them cavort. my next project hopefully free, is getting a small pond and use it for a bird bath.

We dry clothing outside when the weather is nice - Nothing smells better than line dried clothing! We utilize free walking/biking trails during the summer. We also enjoy fishing on the free public lakes in our area. We visit the library a LOT during the summer! We check out books instead of buying more. They put on so many programs and activities for the kids. We check out movies we may not have seen before. They have baking pans to use when my 9 and 12 year olds want to try new recipes. They even are having ukulele lessons (with checked out ukuleles) for my 12 year old. All for free! We also check out a list they have for free music concert opportunities in the area. We will often pack a picnic and enjoy some family fun or even a date night for my husbamd and I! I am a teacher and busy mama of 5 so I appreciate all the frugal fun we can find in the summer! Thank you for continuing to share these tips! Smiles, Abby Smith

That blouse looks great on you. I love your planner. I might have to check that out. I do use a planner, but I might switch to this type. I use my crockpot in the summer, but I put it out on my deck. In the summer I try to do all of my cooking outside to keep the heat out of the house. Unfortunately, we need central air conditioning here in Southeast Indiana but I try to set the temp a few degrees higher and then use my ceiling fans and other fans. I definitely use my blinds as we have a large window that faces directly West and it makes a huge difference. Those tablecloths are great.

Mother’s Day weekend is being spent at a state park about two hours from our house that has a fabulous new playground for the grandchildren to play on, a packed picnic, and ending with a free outdoor concert with fireworks this evening. My children asked what I wanted… and I said just to spend time with all of you. Memories and good times don’t need a lot of money. Happy Weekend!

Since we have lamps in hard to reach places, we got voice activated plugs for them and for the t.v. Now, saving money on electricity is as easy as saying "Turn off bedroom." 😁

I love your videos they are so peaceful and encouraging! One of my summer tips is to buy off-season items that are deeply discounted. I also love the idea of decluttering. One thing that can help is to have a container for various things, and that's your limit. For example, I have a small clear makeup bag. I use it for nail polish. When it's full, that means I can't buy anymore nail polish. It keeps things from getting out of hand and organized.

Frugal BBQ tip, don't use foil! Betty Croker has a reusable BBQ mat for veg or meat, does the grill marks, keeps BBQ clean, and is washable and reusable!!! Cost is only $4 Canadian for 2 in a box, last a long time, available at Dollarama or maybe Dollar Tree.

Sandwich look so yummy!! I'm in Phoenix so our summers are spent indoors. Last year we had 111 days over 100*, 54 days at 110* and 31 days over 110*. Hopefully this summer will be cooler! My best tip would be when you use your crockpot, insta pot or toaster oven put them out on your patio. I set mine on my table and it doesnt heat up your kitchen. Beautiful tableclothes and I love the milkglass lamp!! Enjoy the weekend!! 💕🇺🇸🏜

@FrugalMoneySaver 3 месяца назад

Oh wow! That is extreme heat! Hoping your summer this year is a bit cooler
