Thrift is back: 10 tips for living frugal
10top
The generation who lived through the Great Depression was very good at wasting nothing; but living frugally was not a new idea, even back then.
In his book ‘The Wisdom of Frugality’, professor of philosophy at New York’s Alfred University Emrys Westacott, says “simple living has been recommended and praised for over two thousand years by people with a reputation for wisdom.
“Philosophers, prophets, saints, poets, culture critics and just about anyone else with a claim to the title of ‘sage’ seemed generally to agree about this,” Westacott writes. “Frugality and simplicity are praiseworthy; extravagance and luxury is suspect.”
And it seems, even in this consumer-driven age, thrift is making a comeback. The web is fertile ground for websites, blogs, how-to videos and podcasts devoted to the ideas of frugality, simple living and “living slow”.
For some, being frugal is about saving money, for others it’s about managing resources and saving the planet and for others it’s simply a lifestyle choice.
Here are a few simple tips that were a way of life and that we can easily adopt in today’s throw-away world.
1. Fix it – Before rushing out to buy a replacement, ask yourself if it can be fixed? With so much information out there these days, you’ll find how-to’s on just about anything and there is something satisfying about getting that old coffee maker working again.
2. Everything old is new again – A coat of paint, some new upholstery, shiny buttons, using what you already have and giving it a new lease on life is limited only by your imagination. If you need some inspiration, check out some of the great ideas at the Instructables.
3. Try second-hand – from Gumtree, Ebay, op-shops to local buy, swap and sell groups, there are heaps of wonderful bargains out there and you may even be harbouring someone else’s treasure among your own unwanted goods.
4. Grow your own – Nothing beats going out to your garden for fresh vegies and they always taste so much better. Many are quick and easy to grow and don’t need a lot of space.
5. Cook your own – Now that you’ve grown all those beautiful tomatoes and zucchini, create some magic in the kitchen. Instead of takeaway pizzas, make your own. Get the whole family involved. Let the kids come up with their own wild creations and make up a family recipe book.
6. Eat out less – Eating out at restaurants used to be a special treat, cut back and plan nights out to make them special once again.
7. Save up – Forego instant gratification, keep your credit card in a drawer and return to the pocket money days when you had to save for something special, you’ll appreciate it so much more. No matter your age, saving a small amount each week, builds a lifetime habit which is a great one to pass on to your kids.
8. Think before buying – Is it a need or is it a want? A bargain is only a bargain if it is something you really need and will be useful.
9. Compare and save – Shop around. For major purchases ask for a discount and even for minor ones, ask if they are likely to go on sale soon. They can only say no and you can always walk away and wait.
10. The best things in life are free - Not everything costs money. Check out your local community papers; visit the many “what’s on” online newsletters and drop by your local library where you can borrow much more than just books. Markets, walks, picnics, games in the park and good old scrabble are all activities that don’t cost a fortune.

Top 5 Inexpensive DIY Engagement Cake Ideas
10top cake1 Why DIY? Beautiful cakes can be quite expensive, and may not be made with the eco-friendly ingrediants you can buy a most grocery stores - like organic milk, cage-free eggs and fair trade chocolate. If you have a wedding budget to follow and cannot afford to spend extravagantly on an engagement cake, it would be best to make your own. Here are some of the inexpensive engagement cake ideas to inspire the DIY bride:
1 DIY Butterfly Cake Covered with FondantWith some basic baking skills, you can make this beautiful butterfly cake. You can make this cake scaled down to 7, 5, and 3 inch tiers, which can serve up to 16 guests. Making your own cake allows you to make it bigger if you are expecting more guests. Cover it with fondant icing to give it a smooth and tasty-looking surface. To make the cake stand out, you can decorate its side with lovely frosting butterflies. The supplies for this cake cost under $50, which is great for budget-conscious brides and grooms.
1 DIY Frosting Rose Engagement CakeMake your engagement party extra special with this beautiful rose engagement cake. You can start with whatever flavor you want for your cake. However, you will need a lot of frosting to make all of the ornate roses. White or buttercream frosting is best to use for this one. Complete your cake with rose frosting details. To do it, start in the center; then around the center point, move your frosting applicator tip in a circle slowly until you form a rose shape. You don’t need to pressure yourself, just have fun! If you dislike it, you can always scrape it off and start over.
1 DIY Cake with Couple Toppers One of the best DIY inexpensive engagement cake ideas is a cake decorated with a couple topper. You can choose whatever shape of cake you want to make this one – round, rectangular, square, or layered. You just need to have lots of frosting or fondant to cover the sides of the cake. Then, add some cute decorations, like ribbons and flowers to make it more attractive. Using colored frosting, you can also write your names and other notes on top of the cake. Finish and top it with couple topper made from marzipan.
1 DIY Naked Cake If you want a very simple, elegant and inexpensive cake, then make a frostingless cake! You can serve a simple cake, like this one, on your engagement party. The best thing about it is the cheaper cost since it does not require frosting, powdered sugar, or costly fondant, but it is also healthier! You can make a single layer or tiered cake. Choose any flavor you want – chocolate, cheese, or fruit. Just top it with some fruit and add a dash of unsweetened whipped cream between each layer.

That was deliberate, he could drive faster on the side and not cementing his shitty motorcycle.
Maybe was pissed, that those villagers made a concrete road, although would have cracked, concrete road is usually not continuous, is made from big blocks (because concrete is rigid, will not flex).
