Welcome to Everyday Economics,The Blog!

I've actually had this idea for some time. Starting a website to help out others who live on a small income, or in some instances, no income. Tips, trick, and articles, along with links to free things and giveaways, all to help people who are in need.

Now, more than ever, we need to know these things. The ever collapsing economy has prodded me into action. Products are more expensive than ever. We are losing jobs, bleeding money, and many of us cannot pay our bills or feed our families properly.

Everyday Economics looks to help you fill in the holes where the money is pouring our. Duct taping our lives together, because the government sure as heck isn't offering us a bailout. Whether you live in the U.S. or abroad, the tips offered here will help you find some small way to hold on to even a few extra dollars a month or week.

We need to relearn how to get by with less. How to live as our Grandparents did, goodness knows they made it through the hard times. On this website you will learn:

*How to grow a 'Victory' garden.
*How to can vegetables.
*How to build your own woodstove.
*How to shop better.
*How to cook in general.
*How to make cloth diapers.
*How to wash those diapers.
*How to save on almost anything!

This site is not intended for just women. If it seems like I lean a bit towards women, that's because I AM one! Much of what I know lies in homemaking and parenting, but guys, you can bet I'll be posting things for you, too. I am a born and bred country girl who has worked in farming, construction, health care, and now I am a professional freelance writer. I can tell you about wiring a light fixture, installing a window, or low cost birth control. How's that for variety?

I hope you enjoy your time here and come back often. This blog is where all of the most up to date information will be posted, then moved to the main site once it is pushed off of this main blog page. Tips and tricks will always be posted on the main website as soon as they are received!

Much love and duct tape to you all,
Julie
