Thanks for visiting Prairie Eco-Thrifter. Your support keeps me wanting to share.

Who am I?
I am a prairie raised woman who is passionate about saving money, being healthy, looking out for our environment, and most of all having fun. Since I have a passion for writing and helping others, I started this blog so that I could share tips with people like me on how to live a simple life while still having fun.

My Basic Philosophy
I hate waste; waste of any kind: money, time, energy. I like to maximize and optimize everything in my life.  I hate this new culture of "more is better" or "you can't have enough" and "out with the old and in with the new." I prefer to live frugal, healthy, and green. I like to do my part for the  environment. I like to re-use and modify and not just because it is green. I like to try different methods and techniques when it comes to cooking, fitness, shopping, travelling, and being frugal. For me, the money I earn is precious and I like to use it on the things that are most important to me such as retirement and travelling. My goal is to live a life that is green, debt free, and tons of fun!

Why My Voice Counts?
I have spent the last three years living this philosophy and it has greatly improved my life. Before that my life was very stressful to say the least. I had bills that I couldn't pay, my relationships were suffering, I would constantly impulse shop and yet wouldn't ever use the stuff, and I was exhausted. But after turning over this new leaf for change, I have become a very methodical, organized, green, and healthy person. I am now healthier than I have ever been. I have the most amazing husband and family that supports me and I have a very rewarding job. Hopefully by sharing my experiences and newly found tips I can help you avoid forming the bad habits that I once had, so that you too can live a green, debt free, fun life. In addition to this blog, I also write for the magazine Environmental Graffiti.

Now that you’ve learned about the person I am, I hope you will return to the articles and continue to learn more about the simple life.
