An Unexpected "Save"
I had a really hard day last week. Everything seemed to be going wrong, one after another. I was already in a bad mood when my son asked me if I could go clothes shopping with him since he's outgrown most of his clothes and the ones he had were getting worn out and he anyhow was with me. (We had made a clothes shopping date two days later, but he had a point, so I was willing to give it a shot, despite being already emotionally wrung out.)
There's a clothing company that my kids and I have had good luck with when it comes to good quality on a low budget, so I headed to one of their clothing store branches. My boys are in that in-between stage when they can fit into both adult and kids clothes- extra small adult or extra-large kids, so I checked to see what was available and decided to go with the adult store.

A Good Frosting Hack to Save Frosting
Buttercream frosting is delicious. Its sweet creamy richness on top of a good slice of cake can be the perfect amount of decadence for a wonderful treat. But it can be a bit tricky to make it, since you have to figure out the right balance of butter, sugar, and liquid. If one of them is off, then you won't have a good buttercream- it will have the wrong texture and look.
My friend Babs made a cake for her daughter's birthday, but as she was making the frosting something went off. The frosting probably got too much liquid in it, and it separated into little clumps of solids with bits of liquid in between. This has happened to me before and it sucks.
When your kid has a birthday party and the grocery store is closed and you can't buy all new ingredients to make new frosting, or you don't want to waste all the money you already spent on the frosting, it's kind of sucky. In the past, I just used it as is and said oh well (and embarrassingly I even posted pictures here on my blog, but since I refused to pay for hosting for these pics when the free site started charging a hosting fee the pictures all have a watermark, oh well...)
But this time when Bab's frosting flopped, I had the perfect idea. (And I looked on the internet to see if I could find other people posting about this idea, but in my quick search I didn't see.)

Top Tips for Moving Cross Country
How Can Travelers Save Money On A Hyrbil (Rental Car)
That doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a more secluded beach and make your own fun in the off-season or drive to areas that aren’t on the “tourist map” to take in the culture in a different aspect.
Rest assured, you won’t be hard-pressed to find flights to your favorite locations abroad, find budget-friendly accommodations, and get the best deals on car rentals with the ideal availability.
Car rental on a trusted site like https://www.hyrbilguiden.se/ deems a priority many are not willing to forego on their travels since visiting any location requires independence to meander the countryside or cities and towns at leisure. Even in the states, public transport offers stringent scheduling that doesn’t often work well with touring, nor do taxis since they’re usually restricted to the cities (and can be expensive).
Needless to say, car rental is not necessarily inexpensive, especially in Sweden. In fact, it can be quite costly, but there are ways to save even at the height of the bustling peak season. It’s a matter of research and preparedness for the optimally planned trip. Let’s check out some ways to save on car rentals in any season.

Five Challenges You May Face as an Expat and Their Solutions
Are you considering moving abroad? Or are you already an expat making your first steps in a foreign country? Read on to discover five challenges you may face and some possible solutions.
How Far Will You Go For Free Things?
I had a busy day recently, going to the city for a few appointments, and on the way home I stopped at the grocery store to get some much needed groceries. I did a delivery of most of what I bought, but since I didn't know when I'd be getting the delivery, I brought home the food I'd need for supper on the bus with me.
On the bus halfway between the grocery store and my house and with my phone on two percent battery I saw that a friend from my neighborhood messaged me. There was a giveaway of foodstuffs via an organization to people in need, and after they finish giving out to the needy, any extras are a free-for-all for anyone to take. This friend told me that there were a bunch of packages of gluten free tortillas available for the taking.
By the time I checked this, my phone was down to one percent. The bus I was on continued one stop further to where they were giving out the tortillas. I knew myself and if I didn't go straight there I wouldn't actually get the energy to leave the house and get them, but it was an opportunity I didn't want to miss. But the kids needed stuff for supper (they were with my neighbor) and I had them, so I thought quickly.

Recent Frugal Accomplishments
Every time I start to think that I'm not accomplishing much frugally in the past while, I decide to make a list of frugal things I've done, thinking that, maybe, the three or four things on my list will make me feel better about myself, but then the list expands and expands until I get something like this and I realize I'm not giving myself the credit I deserve. So here are the recent frugal things I did -- maybe some of them can give you ideas, and maybe you can make yourself such a list and feel proud of yourself.
