Welcome to those who, by choice or circumstances, are living a frugal, low-impact lifestyle.

This is a place to share your tips and tools, and to ask for the experience and ideas of other members.

As a new Eons group, we are free to set our own group rules and standards. So let's hear ideas and suggestions about what would be the best support for each of you as you learn and experiment with simple living.

Well, now, Colleenm,

We don't seem to be too crowded and maybe that's a good thing. With the current economy this group could fill up soon!

My name is listed as Tabathu, I live in Ok. with my husband and son but also with a 90 yr old mil and a mentally chllenged bil. We have 4 cats, 4 dogs, and 4 guinees (excuse the spelling) We have become frugal because we are retired, but still have a need for a variety of things. We live on 33 acres so we want a milk goat, chickens, a steer and a donkey. Now don't ask why he wants a donkey 'cause I don't know!

We butchered our beef last week, cut and wrapped it ourselves and we are now eating it with great joy. I make my own laundry soap and look forward to making goat's milk soap. I don't look forward to killing the chickens for the pot but I like to collect the eggs.

I couldn't garden last spring because it was too soon after my pacemaker operation but I'm 10 times better now. I'm really looking forward to the new seed catalogs coming out . I love to peruse them but always buy from the local store.

Because we don't have chickens yet I buy fresh eggs locally for $1.25 a doz. Milk is now $3.33 a gal and that's why we want the milk goat.

I like to talk but I also like to listen. Hope to hear from you soon.
