 Live More With Less

At All Things Good, we believe that living well doesn’t mean having more—it means needing less. It’s about tuning into what truly matters, letting go of excess, and finding joy in the everyday.

What We Mean By More

More isn’t about accumulation—it’s about intention.

• More connection: Time with loved ones, shared meals, slow mornings, and laughter that doesn’t cost a cent.

• More clarity: Knowing what matters to you and letting that guide your choices.

• More gratitude: Seeing the beauty in what you already have—a well-worn jumper, a garden that feeds you, a quiet moment.

• More care: For the earth, for your community, and for yourself.

• More self-sufficiency: Growing your own herbs, mending what’s torn, learning to make do with creativity and heart.

• More peace: Living within your means, releasing the pressure to keep up, and embracing the freedom that simplicity brings.

What We Mean By Less

Less isn’t about deprivation—it’s about liberation.

• Less spending: Especially the kind that’s driven by impulse or comparison.

• Less waste: Reusing, repurposing, and refusing what you don’t need.

• Less clutter: In your home, your mind, and your calendar.

• Less pressure: To be perfect, to be busy, to be constantly productive.

We love the old saying:

“Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” – L. Reid It’s not just frugal—it’s freeing.

Frugal, But Full

Frugality looks different for everyone. For some, it’s about budgeting with care. For others, it’s about choosing secondhand, growing food, or swapping skills with neighbors. It’s not about sacrifice—it’s about aligning your life with your values.

We hope you find ideas here that nourish your spirit and lighten your footprint. Whether you’re decluttering a drawer, starting a veggie patch, or simply pausing to appreciate what’s already good in your life—you’re living more with less. And that’s something worth celebrating.

Frugal means different things to different people so we hope you find some ideas here that you can use.
