My biggest frugal tip right now is doing laundry by hand. My washer broke down last week and I've been washing by hand since, with the help of my 2 boys when it's time to wring out the water. I spent $3 on a brand new toilet plunger, and have saved time, laundry soap and probably water washing by hand the last week or so. My clotehs seem to be cleaner than when they were washed in the washing machine! Also it helps me to keep my dishes and kitchen area cleaner since I use the kitchen sinks to do laundry in now. I also don't have a dryer, so all clothes are hung up to dry. Inside when it is cooler and/or wet and outside when it is hot and/or nice.
When I have more time I'll try to post more ideas of the frugal things we do.

Find a food salvage store! They specialize in dented cans, outdated merchandise, etc. and they sell it for pennies on the dollar.
