    Thrifty Thursday – Building a Cheap Library
    In an earlier post, I talked about why it was important for the seminarian to start building a good library (you can read the post here).  In this post, I want to talk about how to build up a library when you don’t have much cash. The first tip I can give you is to know your favorite scholars and writers.  When you know that you like commentaries by writer...

    Thrifty Thursday – Free Family Fun
    Having kids can be expensive… especially when “fun” is involved. Being an Orlando resident affords us many fun activities, however many of them cost a LOT of money. A trip to Disney with the kids would cost almost $200. So, needless to say we haven’t visited the oversize mouse just yet. So, what do we do on our tight budget for family fun? ...

    Thrifty Thursday – Student Advantage
    I thought I’d throw this one out there in case anyone might be interested. Student Advantage is a savings card that is only available to students and offers discounts on both local and online retailers. Much like the Entertainment savings guide we’ve mentioned before, the Student Advantage card does cost some money. However, it looks like you can recoup...

    Thrifty Thursday – Taking Care of Your Cloth Diapers
    Last week I wrote about cloth diapers. This week I would like to elaborate a bit more on the care of the cloth diapers as well as a few more tips for being a good steward of your funds while keeping your children clean. Rinsing the Dirty Diapers Last week I talked about attaching a kitchen sprayer to your toilet to clean out the dirty diapers. It is not as hard as...

    Thrifty Thursday – Saving on Diapers
    If you are in seminary, then you realize money is tight (that is why we have a Thrifty Thursday). If you are married and in seminary, then you definitely realize that money is tight. My wife and I are always searching for ways in which we can cut our budget. One way we did this was to transition to cloth diapers. Now that you are over the “eww” factor,...

    Thrifty Thursday – Savings in Seminary
    Several months before we sold our house in Richmond our savings account balance dropped below our bank’s minimum requirement. The consequence was that we had to either deposit some more money into the account (not really an option at the time) or we needed to close the account. As I mentioned, adding money wasn’t really an option, and at the same time I...

    Thrifty Thursday – Help With Your Money
    For a lot of seminary students, financial considerations are something that is always on the mind. Getting an advanced degree is not particularly cheap, and especially as a lot of us enter our studies married and possibly with children, this becomes an even greater undertaking. I am blessed to be married to an accountant. My wife and I complement each other well because...

    Thrifty Thursday – Save on Groceries
    This guest post was written by Terry Delaney. You can read more from Terry at Diary of a Seminary Student and Said at Southern. If you are like most seminary students, money is tight. In order to be good stewards of what God has given us, we need to find ways to make our budgets stretch. In this day and age of high gas prices and even higher food costs, money disappears...
