Basic Things

I'm starting this blog with an eye to give people cheap living tips. I did a little internet research to see if there was anything out there resembling what I want to do but I didn't find a whole lot. One cheap living blog just wanted to sell you cheap junk, one was just grand philosophical statements that really didn't tell you anything.
My idea is that people would really like some small ideas of things they can try right now to make their lives less expensive and better at the same time. Like you, I've read book after book of simple living ideas and tips and tricks but it all seems a bit overwhelming at time.
With this blog, I hope to give you just a slow trickle of ideas to try. If you like them, you can incorporate them into your lives, if they don't work for you, that's OK too. The whole simple living thing is really about doing what works for you.
Why do I think I'm qualified to do this? Well, things have been tough for me the last few years and so I've had to cut back on so many things I used to spend money on. While there is a difference (big difference) between living simply because you want to and because you have to, I'm sure some of the ideas of things I have done will work for at least some other people.
I welcome any comments or ideas or if you just have a story to share, I want to know.
Thanks for reading and I look forward some good things.
