Being frugal is using commodities sparingly, being thrifty, prudent or economical in the use of resources such as food, time or money, and avoiding waste.
Frugality is actually an art of acquiring goods and services in a restrained manner, and resourceful use of already owned goods and services.
Obviously, if you are reading this post, you must have an interest or need that is requiring a bit of frugality.
I do not claim to be a professional or expert in this area, but I would like to share some of the knowledge I have acquired through the years. You may only be interested in one area. That is fine! I would suggest starting slow and doing it well. As you go along, you perhaps would like to further your frugal experience.
Some may be forced by this weak economy to cut back in certain areas of their lifestyle. Maybe you have lost your job. Others may find they enjoy doing this as a life calling or hobby. I don't know of anyone who doesn't want to save money, do you?
By the way, if you haven't figured it out by now, I am a country girl. Been to the school of hard knocks and love helping others any way that I can. A few years ago I was in banking, but one day found myself out of a job. This has given me ample time to devote to being thrifty. Lovin' every minute of it!
You do not have to be highly educated to make this work. I certainly lack higher education, but work hard at the task before me.
This is my first posting on this blog. I will be adding posts daily with points of interest. Please come back for more!
