You can still grow plants if you have a windowsill - I have a wall mounted (means I shoved it over an old bent nail on the fence) upside down hanging tomato plant thingy.
Back to frugal. Ex Mother in law told me when she was a gal in Norway, they would throw fresh snow on the floor and sweep it out with brooms - said its good for lifting dirt out of carpets - it sticks to the snow. I should imagine the children might like to be helping with that one.
