The Sicilian Frugalista: Made in the USA!

Here is a list of items I have been able to find a good quality, reasonably priced version of to support my neighbors and fellow citizens of the USA. I will update this list as I find new items.

Abbreviations:
Made in America- MIA

Cutting Board

After finding myself very disapointed with the MIA version sold at the local home store, I orderd one through my food co-op made by Azure Husbandry. It is hard wood from the trees fell on their land where they grow organic foods. The food co-op is through Azure Standard.

Frugalista:

as defined in the New Oxford dictionary "a person who lives a frugal lifestyle but stays fashionable and healthy by swapping clothes, buying secondhand, growing own produce, etc."

As William Safire in the NY Times says 'This could become the nom de guerre of the 'recession warrior'.

A 'recession warrior' I have always been under the preferred job description title of 'Domestic Engineer'. This is my version with a spoon full of witt, twist of common sense, and a lathering of facts, quips and inuendo.

Wife, Mom, farmer, chef, gardener, repurposer, homemaker, designer, builder, painter, dumpster diver and too many other hats to mention. Because I'm 'The Sicilian Frugalista' I also don't own one for each job.
