Hi there, welcome to my blog! My name is Zoë Morrison and I am the author of Eco Thrifty Living the blog and Eco Thrifty Living the book.

Sustainable gift wrap course

In 2011 I wanted to quit my job and become a stay at home mum. I didn’t know how I was going to afford it, but I was determined that spending less wasn’t going to be at the expense of the environment or my families quality of life. I became passionate about learning ways to save money and the environment. I decided to document my experiences along the way and Eco Thrifty Living, the blog was born! In 2012 I walked away from my day job feeling confident that we could thrive on one salary instead of two.

In 2019 I published my first book so that I could share my tips and tricks on how to save money and the environment in an easily accessible way to you my readers.

My kids are much older now and in late 2021 I decided it was time to go back to work and I’m no longer updating this site. But you can now find me over at Tidy with Zoe , so if you think you could benefit from the services of a professional organiser I would love to hear from you.

  1. Excellent Job Zoe! Like you I have discovered frugal living is not only good for the budget but should be mandatory to save our environment. As a result I now keep very little food in the house (except emergency food supplies for earthquakes and floods) and dramatically reduced my purchases of packaged goods. I was getting sick of all the garbage. Keeping little food in the house has also helped me to reduce food waste, chose a few high quality products as opposed to many low quality products) reduce my weight and save about a $1000 per year.

  2. Hi Zoe! I'm so excited about finding your blog! We're trying to pay off our mortgage in an (unrealistically!) small amount of time, so I'll definitely be coming here for tips. I write about our efforts on a Saturday, do you mind if I link to here this Saturday?

    I found you through the msn news homepage, 'Thrifty mum gives up loo roll to save money (and the planet)'. It is funny how a news article can skew things a bit, but anyway it worked at grabbing my attention and I'm glad I found your blog as I find it all very interesting. Blogs like this where you share your life will help anyone who comes across it see that minimalism and being eco friendly won't make their life harder but can make them feel so much more at peace. Saving the planet one article at a time. Keep on writing!

  6. Hi Zoe, Just heard about you on the radio and it turns out I had already been on your blog before and didn't realise. I feel like I've fallen on your story for the third time and every time I seem to have a new perspective on it! Hopefully one day I can be like you
