Even in such a measure that some people want to blog about it. That includes me. Im not the poorest of the poor (luckily, so far). Nor am I the richest of the rich (unluckily, so far). Being frugal feels natural to me, and I actually quite enjoy thinking about new and even suprising ways to save money (and time and nature as well).
I also need to practise my English, which is the second objective of this blog. Much of its content will be the same stuff as in my Finnish blog Nuuka-Nina.
The first frugal observation is about babies and thermometers. Many, many years I survived with one traditional thermometer. Then we were blessed and the Little One arrived. First we acquired a digital thermometer (with a Moomin character, of course :) Then we wanted to buy another digital thermometer, because the first one was suspected to be not-so-accurate. It was not enough. A fine appliance that measures the temperature from the forehead was also bought (with a good discount, though). We even have a pacifier-thermometer. We have used about 100 € (136 $) to purchase them. The one that has really been useful and reliable, at least in my eyes, has been the first one. A simple basic 5 € (7 $) piece, with a clear scale. We could have saved 95 € (129 €)... Well, maybe in the next life... :)
A while ago that best one disappeared. Little One seemed somewhat feverish, so I headed to the pharmacy. Now I knew what to look for: a decent traditional thermometer. And I also remembered to show the loyal customer card, so I will receive some tiny refund later on :)
Thank you for reading and welcome again!
Best wishes,
Nina
