I don't know if they have clothespins or not. I'm surprised WM didn't have any! I think our last set (plastic, not as nice as wooden) came from the Dollar Store. <BR/><BR/>Jill - Pride is so sneaky, isn't it? Even when we feel we generally aren't doing so well in being frugal(or anything else), if there is one area we are, then we can feel proud about that. That's true for me anyway. I've also been thinking about other sin tendencies with frugality - greed and lack of trust in God's provisions. Guess it's not surprising that so God addresses our attitudes and actions having to do with money so often throughout the Bible.<BR/>I love your $25 and a chicken idea and have tried thinking that through before sleep. Have you carried out any of your nocturnal plans?Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08407636240006454920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-23116463234089914862009-01-12T18:49:00.000-05:002009-01-12T18:49:00.000-05:00Dear Anne,Thank you for addressing attitudes as we...Dear Anne,<BR/>Thank you for addressing attitudes as well as posting practical suggestions. Making frugality a game helps overcome self-pity, although I have kept myself awake at night trying to plan an entire week's worth of dinners from one chicken and $25--not from worry, but just for the "fun" of it. But living frugally can also be a temptation to pride--"look at how accomplished I am at living on less." We must keep our hearts focused on glorifying God as we serve our families. Thank you for pointing us in the right direction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9283473.post-77583974485618468352009-01-12T09:26:00.000-05:002009-01-12T09:26:00.000-05:00I tried to pursue the clothesline idea this summer...I tried to pursue the clothesline idea this summer--but Wal Mart does not sell lines or clothespins!
