Today we're talking about something that matters more than most of us care to admit: accepting help, and more importantly — taking responsibility for the role we play when help doesn't go the way we imagined.

Frugality Tip from Margo
"When you are looking at making a large dollar purchase, check multiple websites. I came across an offer that was impossible to refuse. With a purchase of $1000 or more, online only, they were giving a $100 gift card. So we ordered online and picked up in store and got $100 to spend later. With a little time spent looking around, you never know who wants to give you extra money for buying what you were going to buy anyway.
Happy Savings Y'all

p.s. This was Northern Tool"

Main Topic: Accepting Help (and Why It Matters)
We're talking about help — asking for it, accepting it, and dealing with the truth that when people "do it wrong," it's usually because we didn't set them up for success. This is also where homesteading meets real life meets Thanksgiving — and yes, there will be a cat-and-chipmunk story.
