Happy Friday!
I am wrapping up my second week of summer although I know some of you are still trudging along with the last days of school! I honestly don’t know how you are still going…. hoping your summer is close by!

For people that know me personally…. I just happened to be the girl who got to marry the most frugal man in the world! {lucky me…right?!} And I’m not kidding…. Frugal is really the nice way to put his characteristic! I don’t even think there is a word to really describe him… I may have to make one up! {He has multiple excel spreadsheets that organize exactly what we spend and how we spend it {food, gas, etc…}, what we make {and where we make it from – work, TpT, etc…} , multiple savings accounts… and that’s just the surface of all the frugal-ness}
While it’s a struggle at times {I mean… getting a drink at Sonic is spending WAY too much in his eyes – when water is free} he does have a plan for the future! {I have to applaud him for that} I mean… he wants to retire in a few years {he won’t even be 40} so I guess I can’t complain too much when you look into the savings account!
So being a teacher {you know… where you have to spend A LOT of your own money for your classroom}, I knew this would be a challenge! I have had to come up with some interesting ways to spend a little but get a lot out of it!
I’m sure MOST of you have stepped foot into a little store called “Dollar Tree”?! Right!? You know… where EVERYthing is only ONE DOLLAR?!
So… to make me and my dear husband happy…. I have become a frugal teacher {when I can!}

I love Dollar Tree! I didn't know they had dry erase pockets! I'm going to have to check that out!

Genius ideas! I am obsessed with Dollar Tree, but I never even thought of using dog bowls for activities! I'll also have to check them out for those spinners. I'm heading there right now!! I can't wait for more of these Frugal Fridays!
