Well, that was a bit more of a hiatus than I had in mind! The baby was more of a handful than I expected over the past year, and I had to take an adjunct position on the side. But LO is in daycare now, and my college students get their final exam tomorrow, so HOPEFULLY I will be able to stick to a reasonable posting schedule again.
In the meantime, I'm rereading The Complete Tightwad Gazette. A lot of it is great, but some of it is dated. The tips contained in it were originally published in the 1990s, and I don't think they had things like Skype or Ziploc containers (much easier to wash and re-use than Ziploc bags!) Plus I don't know where the author lives (lived?) but her tips are based on a completely different climate than here. For example - line drying? I am dubious about its efficacy in ninety percent humidity, and the blogger of Frugal in Florida agrees.
