The Frugal Girl

FEBRUARY 14, 2024

Today we’re meeting a reader who only found my blog a few months ago; I love that she already volunteered to do a Meet a Reader post. My wedding dress, thrifted! I have an English degree and I work in scholarly book publishing as an editor (developmental and acquiring editor, not the grammar and spelling kind of editor).

Today we are meeting a reader from my neck of the woods over here in the Mid-Atlantic. ? In my area, the amount of free beautiful parks, nature centers, museums, national monuments, free concerts, kid programs at the library, things to rent at the library (books, ebooks, Kanopy, tools, toys, board games) is so wonderful!

We’re meeting an Arkansas reader today and initially, I thought she was the first one! My first memory of helping was around 2 years old; I kept a ledger of expenses at 8 years old, which reflected priorities early (books & leather boots) & so it goes. Here’s Jennifer. ? Your grapevine is beautiful!

But I also found success at a thrift store. At that time, I had not reviewed my own spring clothing and I have plenty of time to go back to Target if I can’t find something suitable (and cute) at the thrift store. Make a list of what you need and take it along to your favorite thrift store FIRST before you go to a regular store.
