I had no idea that frugality existed in the 1940's. Im so big on saving myself so it really is refreshing to see that it is widely accepted and more and more becoming the norm. The quotes you posted from this book are fantastic. I am definitely going to have to pick it up for my next read. ...and Miss Thrifty, I must say this site is fantastic. I don't have the time to maintain a blog, but boy do I love to trawl through others looking for the best tips to live life financially free, whilst securing my future. I have a feeling your's is one I am going to be coming back to quite often. Thanks again! From a Cash Saving Mum! x This is an amazingggggg book.

She said that the lady there showed them how to unpick a coat and turn it inside out so that it looked like new. My gran was an expert dressmaker and taught me how to use a machine (A Singer treadle!)and to crochet, but even she drew the line at this tip! My granny went Make Do and Mend classes during the war.

It is a wonderful book, originally written in the 1930s but recently re-issued, about personal finance and living well on a budget. It is not so domestic, but covers the cost of husbands, fashion, and entertaining among other things. Despite the lapse of time, almost all of the advice still applies, and it is very entertaining and inspiring reading. Have others come across ‘ Orchids on Your Budget’ by Marjorie Hillis?
