Welcome to the Thrifty Scrapbook

What does it mean to be thrifty? 

The dictionary defines thrifty as:

Adjective:

S: (adj) thrifty (careful and diligent in the use of resources)

S: (adj) careful, thrifty (mindful of the future in spending money) "careful with money."

Have you noticed how everyone wants your money?  Companies spend millions of dollars each year on research to determine what slogans, words, colors, pictures, etc. will get you to buy their products.  Everywhere we go we are put in a position to spend money.  At home the television blares out attention getting commercials.  At the store music plays to relax our mind and eye catching displays are shouting “buy me”. 

For those of us that like living debt-free it is an everyday struggle.  We try to make the best use of our resources so our families are well cared for.  But this doesn’t mean that we can’t enjoy ourselves.  It doesn’t mean that all of life’s pleasures must be omitted.  Thrifty can be fun!  It's fun to have things you want when you can afford them, and you know that the sacrifice you made yesterday helped you achieve today’s purchase.  People of all incomes can be thrifty.  Being thrifty is a state of mind.  It also means you have a concern for the resources of our planet.  Being thrifty isn’t easy.  You have to work hard both mentally and physically, but it's worth it!

The same thrifty approach we use in our everyday life can be used toward enjoying our scrapbook hobby.  The Thrifty Scrapbook was designed to be an educational website.  Helpful tips, product usage, unique layouts, and sharing of ideas are all presented here…..but with a twist!
