Here is a list of favorite links to posts pertaining to frequently-asked questions. I encourage you to browse through, and let me know if you have any further questions. Feel free to leave a comment on any of the posts (I read them all), or send me an e-mail at frugalgranola [at] gmail [dot] com.
In addition to the FAQ’s, I encourage you to check out My Recipes, which include directions for cost-saving homemade cosmetic/hygiene items and cleaning products, as well as meal ideas!
I recommend visiting my Frugal Granola Resource Shop or one of my affililates (ads located on the right sidebar of the website), which include items to which I regularly refer (such as books, baby items, kitchen staples, and natural health products), as well as common ingredients for the homemade cleaning/hygiene items (such as essential oils, beeswax, rose water, coconut oil, etc.).
