Welcome to the Frugal Family Table.

My name is Crystal, and I decided to start this blog after buying our first house. Seems like an odd time to decide to start a blog, right? Maybe not….

The driving reason I wanted to start this blog was to share money-saving tips with you as well as financial advice. This comes mainly due to the fact that while buying our house, I found out that my husband and I have great credit (in our late 20’s).

Of course, this is after college, grad school, and 2 years of both of us only working part-time in the, well, crappy economy. I figured that if we could have great credit after all that, so can anybody. It is just knowing how, and hopefully, that is what I will share with you.

The Frugal Family Table implies that I will be sharing recipes with you – and yes, I will. I will also be sharing craft ideas as well as various other tidbits. I feel that a table is a hub of activity in a house; it is also used for more than just meals. It is where games are played, homework is done, projects are made, and sometimes where finances are done (not in my house, as I don’t have a laptop, so all my finances are done at my computer desk).

This is my family table, and it is available 24/7. Just pull up a chair and let’s enjoy spending time together.
