- Kristen Cross says she's been frugal all her life and through her blog, "The Frugal Girl," she teaches others how to live on less... The Christian Broadcasting Network CBN www.cbn.com
Wow, this is awesome! She reminds me of the Proverbs 31 woman in the Bible.
She sounds like Amy Dacyczyn who wrote the Tightwad Gazette in the '80s, or Joanne York who wrote "How I Feed My Family of Four on Sixteen Dollars a Week" in the 70s.
I'll never regret living so frugally & sacrificing so much so I could be at home with my children when they were young. It takes some work and planning, but it is worth it.When I used to see my neighbors loading infants and small children still in PJ's at 7am in all kinds of weather & all kinds of driving conditions, my heart would break. Sometimes even sacrifice and planning is not enough to allow staying at home, I do understand that. But try if you can.
Yes, if your goal in life is giving birth and being a house keeper. But it's kind of short on a person's talents.
God bless this woman! I strive to live like this constantly. I am a home maker and couponer so I understand what she works to do. I love that she did not feel the need to have a reality show.
We need more people like her. While I know this info most people do not. They got rid of home economics in school which benefited both boys and girls. Not everyone has a family structure who can teach these forgotten skills.
Good for you. I do all of this but good to know you as a younger generation are doing this. Good luck to you and your family. Following you.
Inspiring video! I live a very frugal and thrifty lifestyle! I am happy and blessed!
I keep my house at 80-82* in the Summer
& 68-70* in the Winter ( If ur Cold go Grab a Blanket ;) )
Saves $
This woman is amazing. rofl. She has a blog, has 4 kids wrote a book, plays the piano, and knows many skills.
What a sweet and fantastically talented lady! Its so nice to see someone who is so honest and true to who she is. She is clearly most blessed.
She must home school. Public schools cost a fortune with fundraisers, school trips, fees for class, even extracurricular stuff.
Wow... though it is something new to air dry your laundry instead of using a dryer? In Germany it is more strange to use a dryer at all 😂
Jema Be Yes, it is very unusual in the US not to use a dryer. When I studied in France a few years ago, I was very surprised to find that my host family didn’t own a dryer, and that even wealthier people didn’t often use one.
ughh..i need to learn to be like this~ i could save thousands a year. :(
Nothing new here...my Mom has done this for 66 yrs....I have done it for 27 yrs
good for you and your mom. ... it might be of use to others.
So? She has a blog and you don’t 🤣. She shares her knowledge and you just gloat everywhere, specially on the Dave Ramsey channel 😂
She reminds me of a young Amy Dacyczyn :)...good job Kristen :)
I noticed that too. Not the best choice of words. This society makes people feel bad if they aren't striving to get attention via TV or public speaking. I'd have no problem with that but I think there needs to be a shift in thinking to make people who may not want to do these things just as equal.
Wow your amazing!!! i need to learn from you
Thank you for posting. I personally found it very inspiring.
Kristen is a Wonderful Mother & Wife & Has Helped out ALOT of People teaching them to Cook From Scratch ( which Saves $ & is ALOT Healthier for U ) Save $ Repurpose things instead of throwing away. Christmas Gift ideas Fun things to do with the Kids & Family. & way more ideas to much to list.
I No longer buy Paper Plates, Napkins or Paper Towels or Plastic Silverware I'm still working on the Cups tho.
What? She turn down a chance to have a reality show? Good for you!
$100. A week wow that's alot of money
In india it's a common thing ..it's not frugal it's using things efficiently
reminds me of my childhood in India. I like it.
a true steward!
she deserves tons of credit,but not everyone is talented,& we don't use white flour &sugar soo !!!
then use brown flour and artificial sweetener?
Everyone can learn a talent with practice, and feel free to sub ingredients you prefer if hers bother you. Sheesh.
She isn't particularly talented. She isn't even doing anything very special.
Thank you,very good informaton
She's got the best site!
Aw she seems so sweet
shes adorable
Long live the 'Frugal Girl'
I don't waste any food, ever. I feed the raccoons, opposums, bugs, whoever will eat it.
Good! When I was growing up we hung clothes out on the line to dry. Those were the good old days. I miss them.
Why should she since she is married and has four kids? She isn't dating any longer. She is slim and looks healthy.
I think the thermostat in the summer was for the air conditioner. The electric companies here say turning the thermostat down in the winter saves because it has to get to a lower temperature before coming on, say everytime the house gets to 75 degrees, and keeping it higher in the summer for the AC means it has to get hotter. Doesn't make since to me but I've noticed a difference in our bill by doing this. It's uncomfortable though and that's why most people won't do it.
I LoVe Kristen !
She is Such a Big Help with Cooking & Frugality in My Life.... & I Know others Feel the Same.
Thanks Kristen ! -3 !
I like this. Good for you :)
I want to be like you! i need to save money
Make speghetti with tomato soup hamburger and noodles that'll do
AWSOME vlog
nice video
amazing
JammJammWorld b
She can save even more on clipping coupons or try find a part time job.
I like everything about her except shoping clothes from goodwill store specialy for her childeren no no.
fantastic way to save but the religion is a massive turn off.
+babywolf1 You did notice the channel that posted it didn't you? You know that some sort of religion might be stated then. I am not into religion pushing (don't enjoy it being pushed on me and find it a turn off), but come on, were you not paying attention?
I am smart enough to still absorb the information without poo-pooing their beliefs. You're missing a lot of great stuff if you're ignoring educational outlets because religion creeps in minotly.
instead of negative remarks just go to another that will be more to your liking. Enough said.
Look up life after death u tubes
4 kids its a lot.... theres no saving on having 4 kids thats to much and over population
Its not the Frugal idea thats Bad , its the reason behind it ,which in many cases is having more than 1 kid .Should i say Bravo or Simply Moroonic???So instead of that 1 kid enjoying a whole peace of cake n complete education n travel ,u rather have freaking 2 to three kids fight over food feel deprived n hungry n have half education.
Her intentions n ideas are cooming from a good place
but come on.. more than 1 complete life 4 1 kid
FoodDreamsToAll Maybe, maybe not.... some people have children who are loved wanted and planned for, work hard to support them and due to circumstances beyond their control eg accident ill health, job loss, abandonment or widowhood are left in dire straits.... The choice is.. lifestyle change and cutting costs or crumbling and depending on welfare.... If this lady helps people to survive and manage their finances more effectively, what is the problem with that ... Yes there are those who just breed indiscriminately but they wouldn't even be watching this.. they would be too busy .
you're being extremely judgemental with this comment...for one..she might have planned the four kids (I come from a four child family, and we were ALL planned). Secondly...what makes you think that she can't afford a better lifestyle but chooses to simply live this way so that she can put money away for her family and teach herself and her kids valuable skills? It is good to watch these sorts of things with an open mind.....
FoodDreamsToAll just because shes frugal and watches her money dosnt mean shes struggling with cash
I only have on siblings I wish my parents had more kids.
You know that by only having one child (even only two, for that matter) doesn’t make up for the mortality rate, and that as such, countries are contraceptive themselves out of existence. Look at China.
Just the thought of the energy this woman has to have is tiresome. Four children, cooking, piano lessons, all the house work and the blog. She isn't frugal about spending her energy, that's for sure. And why have four children if you are going to deprive them of having a nice life? Family planing.
How are they deprived of having a nice life? Many frugal people live better lives than those who spend recklessly, because they value security over things. They may not have fancy stuff, but they can handle the curveballs that devastate others.
