    Try to ignore the criticisms. Some people cannot help but make their opinions known. I’ve been guilty of that with family members. I always look forward to your videos and your Facebook page. I might monopolize that page with my own posts. One of the reasons I follow you is that you are such a kind and decent person. Plus I agree with you most of the time. Keep it up!

    When you take on an animal you take on the expense. In Oz we found and adopted a young dog 🐕 she cost us a fortune in vet fees. The animal became a member of the family and left us with lots of fond memories 👍

Also, when you see someone,like yourself, it gives you the encouragement to look at your spending. Are you buying the stuff others have but you simply don’t need it? And of course, we all love Archie. We’d do anything for our pets. Lots of love x

    I know what you mean about the dog grooming, In have two labradoodles who are groomed every 8 weeks🙈, luckily hubby does his own hair and my friend charges me £13... but we wouldn't change it. I think maybe the person who made negative comments is on the wrong group if they don't understand what frugal means. Don't change what you do Jane and you don't have to justify anything to anyone. Maybe said person would care to share their most frugal tips 😁

    Thank you for another great video, Jane. So annoying that you have to justify your way of life to people who need to ‘stay in their lane’. Btw, this sounds a bit (very) mad but when Archie was sitting on the back seat of your car after his groom, he reminded me of Bill Nighy! I am aware that this makes me sound certifiable but there you are!😂

    Lovely video Jane. We're frugal because we hate waste and thoughtless spending. We have investments and savings but only because we have been sensible for so many years. This means that we can spend money on the things that matter to us. I think some people can't get their head around frugality unless it means total denial.

    I forgot to tell you the oxalic acid is found in rhubarb leaves. My Dad told me when I was young a million years ago not to feed the leaves to the cows. The powdered form of Beekeepers Friend is great for scrubbing sinks and pans to make them shiny. Wish you were closer. I bought a case of 12 on an odd lots auction . I could give you a couple of cans.

    Hi Jane, my e13 year old dog has a heart condition, and has developed some stomach issues. I give her Hills Digestive care i/d. Feeding her twice a day, and no stomach problems after that. It is quite pricey, but as you say, no groomers for me, I cut my hair at my neighbours house 2-3 times a year. And I groom her myself. The other dog and the cat has a cheaper diet. Dog no 2 is not having me grooming her. Totally impossible. I got her this fall, not been to the groomer yet. try to cut around the paws and eyes myself. The dogfood I buy online, and get every 8 bag free.

    Go Groomer and Girl with the dogs are two great youtube channels that have helped me groom my own dogs. It does come down to quality tools. Especially with clippers, really expensive but they will soon pay for themselves and will last me now forever. Its hair it will grow back if it is cut wonky. Remember the school photos of home haircuts kids had in the 70s and 80s mums cutting fringes and what they had to endure? Groomers are expensive my doodle would be about £50 a visit and my big lad £85.
    or more. I couldnt afford that now I am on my own. Also, you can stop if your dog is stressed. Yes I have stretched a cut over a couple of days because they get fed up and I am not a professional or quick. It doesnt matter. I know they are okay. My doodle is a typical and she loathes her legs being done. She is arthritic now, so I dont want to stress her with groomers either. Then there is the hassle of getting her there. You do what you feel is right for you. A dog is family and incredibly important and vital to a happy life. There is always miserable naysayers. They havent grasped the idea. You take care. You are lovely, stay as you are.
