Hello Friend,
A Few Great Helpers for Frugal Times
As a stay at home mom of eight (my oldest is 26 and my youngest is 6), I have learned a few things about survival on a small amount of income. I don't want to keep anything to myself and have you learn the hard way, when I know I could help you.
These printables are all in my Etsy shop (use the $5 off coupon below by 8/31/25). It's ok if you are not in the US to buy digital items - the coupon will still work.
- Simple Grocery List Printable, $2 helps you plan ahead
- 3 Week Stock Up Grocery List, Mean Plan and Inventory Check List, $7 includes the grocery list printable above, less times in the grocery store or making an online purchase saves you money - so let's stretch out our shopping to 3 weeks
- Master Mix Recipe Base for Biscuits Pancakes Waffles Muffins Gingerbread Oatmeal Cookies Drop Cookies Coffee Cake Crustless Quiche, $4 it's like a big homemade bisquick mix to store in the fridge, then you add a few ingredients to make what you want that day - saves you money and TIME
- Kids Craft Recipes to make Bubbles, Slime, Finger Paint, Sidewalk Chalk, Silly Putty, Egg Dye, Goop, Fabric Paint, and Play Dough Printable, $5 these make great gifts, stocking stuffers, party favors or an activity to do at a child's party then the guest can take home what they made
- Mason Jar Gift Ideas / 10 In A Jar Gifts Recipes and Tags Bundle / Instant Download Printable PDF eBook 25 pages, $4 I love to see these filled jars on my shelves and know that I can grab one as a gift to give at any time or to help me make a recipe quickly by adding just a few ingredients
- Frugal Kitchen Purchases Checklist, Saves you money on food with Gardening Canning Freezing and Storing Recommendations and Tips, $2 this is like a "want to buy someday" list as you get the money, but all of these items help you save money in the long run, for example - a pressure canner to put garden produce like potatoes into jars (since they cannot safely be water bath canned)
- ***Prepare For Power Outage Checklist, Winter Storm Preparedness Check List, Thunderstorm Storm Prepper List, Thunderstorm Tornado Blizzard PDF, $3 it may not save you money today, but being prepared may save your life or make things easier for you, so I think it's important to mention. Also, buying them now will save you money down the road when the prices increase
- Large Family Frugal Life Email - a paid email subscription, not in my Etsy shop. Even if you don't have a large family, if you are into saving money, you will find these emails very helpful
The coupon below includes a free shipped dishcloth handmade by me...
If I had a dollar for every time people ask me, "how do you do it all and stay so patient?" Well, the first answer is, "Jesus gave me His Holy Spirit to help me." But also, I do relax and unwind by crocheting! When my family sits down to watch Lego Masters or a family movie, I crochet dishcloths. I like to keep my hands moving, feel the nice 100% cotton yarn on my skin and not think about my to do list. I also crochet when riding in the vehicle or when waiting for people at events or appointments.
Currently, I have too many. They are listed in my Etsy shop, and my listings do show up in the top few search pages when searching "crochet dishcloth" on Etsy, but there is a lot of competition!
My birthday is this coming weekend, so I am offering a code to you so that you can get a free dishcloth (US only) with your shipped purchase to celebrate with me PLUS $5 off (works everywhere) through 8/31/25. Please email me or message me through the Etsy app (I see this the fastest) if you have any trouble using the coupon code.
Here it is...

- Add all desired items to your Etsy shopping cart before checkout, but NOT the free dishcloth. (If you are outside the US, purchase digital/printable items only and skip to step 4.) It's shocking, but there are almost 400 items in my Etsy shop! You may notice that I have been on Etsy for 8 years, so I have had time to build it up.
- Message me through Etsy or email which color you want from what is available in my shop and I will add it to your physically shipped order (in the US only). Please tell me your name, city and state in the message - so I add it to the right order.
- There is a flat $4 shipping fee until you get above $35, then it's free shipping. Of course, tax will be added.
- Be sure the code DISHCLOTHAND5 is entered in all caps and that Etsy took the $5 off before completing the purchase.
- Please note that I do accept Etsy gift cards and codes in my shop.
Okay, I don't think I left anything out. You have all the info and details, but message me if you have a question.
If you are like me and de-stress with crafting and need to open an Etsy shop too, I tell you step by step how to do it with screenshots (for free, plus you get 40 free listings) in this article on my blog. Warning, you should grab a hot beverage, it's long!
Want to help my Etsy ratings? Please favorite my shop or individual items or place a few of my items in your "save for later" in your shopping cart. 5 star ratings in feedback on purchases also helps! I do not work outside the home and I still have 8 of us living at home (one is married, one just went back to college yesterday) and we are on a frugal budget. So I am so thankful and love it when you do this, it really helps me stand out with all the competition.
Have a joy filled day!
