I'm Anna. I'm an urban homesteader, married to a wonderful engineer, DH (dear husband). We live in Sillycon Valley, where housing is way overpriced. Nevertheless, I do what I can to help us live frugally. I coupon, keep a price book, shop costco and amazon, buy when stuff is on sale and stock up, and do a lot of DIY in the kitchen, so I rarely have to pay full price for our food. And we have chickens, so I get freerange eggs and mobile lawn ornaments, as well as great fertilizer for my vegetable gardens and fruit trees.
I also knit, weave and am learning to spin. I love making gifts rather than buying them. I get entertainment and useful stuff. And, when it got chilly here and DH needed a hat, I knitted him one. I'm working on my sewing skills and can at least mend things when needed.
I walk a lot and use my backpack to carry home groceries and such. I need to pull my bike out and start using that more so I can haul more (I have panniers in the back). When we drive, (DH uses a shuttle to work), it's in a prius. Unless I have to haul stuff, then it's my Toyota Tacoma pickup, which gets better gas mileage than most things on the road.
We're doing okay, but could be doing better. So, I'm looking forward to learning more on the boards here.
