The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 9, 2024

I ‘ve been reading The Frugal Girl for 4+ years now, definitely pre-pandemic but I’m not sure how much before. Another, very important frugal win, my very frugal husband who’s a natural saver and set us up for success by buying his first house (a foreclosed property) at 28. What’s your biggest splurge?

A lot of the things that you’ll be buying will only be in use for a matter of months so it makes little sense to buy everything brand new if you’re on a budget. Don’t look to buy used car seats though as you can’t be sure of their safety and whether they have previously been involved in an accident.

This scenario is acted out in thousands of households every day; few people can afford to just go out and buy all the paraphernalia required for a baby. If you are anything like me, you will be tempted to buy every cute outfit you see, possibly in pink, blue and yellow, to make sure you are covered.

Reading If you like reading, you can definitely make it your hobby. Try buying second hand books or looking for inexpensive e-books to save money. You can take the time to create a dedicated reading nook in your house. You can take time out every week to read the paper, or a magazine, or a new book.
