A few things I enjoyed this week from around the internet…
Dumpster diving. All the cool kids are doing it.
I have several dumpster diving stories involving relatives. I’ve even done a bit myself! (Perhaps I’ll share those stories someday.)
It tickles me that dumpster diving is coming out of the underground. A couple of months ago I downloaded the classic The Art and Science of Dumpster Diving by John Hoffman after seeing it mentioned in The Tightwad Gazette.
We live in a horribly wasteful culture, and it pleases me to see people using this strategy. I even thought of adding a section about dumpster diving to The Temporary Tightwad, but was concerned that it would scare too many people off! Maybe I should have after all.

I wrote this article as a tribute to my grandmother, who I found myself thinking of when I wrote my last ebook: 4 Frugal Lessons I Learned from Grandma

If you’ve ever noticed that your kids misbehave far less when they’re not around you, here’s the reason why.

Don’t forget about the free Mrs. Meyer’s seasonal scents kit from Grove.co!

For when you feel like you’re not “Enough”. My take on this? I’m not enough, and I know it. And that’s OKAY. My not-enough-ness is enough. The kids will be aiight.
Enjoy your weekend, and be sure to flâner a little bit 🙂
Thanks for mentioning my blog post Carrie! I love that meme, almost as much as the one that says “Cleaning the house when you have kids is like trying to brush your teeth while you eat Oreos!”
