About

Hi, and welcome to my blog! I’m Kristen, a mom of four, and wife of one. I’m a homeschooler(I’m a homeschool graduate too!), photographer, and baking nut, among other things. I live on the East Coast of the United States.

I’ve been frugal all my life, and I write this blog to inspire other people to live on less (cheerfully, even!). This blog is all about the practical, day-to-day ins and outs of frugal living (you won’t find posts on index funds and investing here!), and it’s also the home of Food Waste Friday. Since I love to take pictures, a text-only post on The Frugal Girl is pretty rare. In addition to my main blog here, I also maintain a 365 blog, where I post a photo every day of year.

Much as I love bargains and savings, I don’t live for them…I live for God. And bargain hunting is one of the ways that I serve Him by serving my family.
