The Frugal Girl

Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. He loved it, although his mother asked him at the rehearsal dinner if he shouldn’t go get a haircut! ? Maybe four years?

Saving Everyday

OCTOBER 3, 2023

My mother died when I was young, leaving my Dad with three young girls to provide for. Having our own car means we don’t have to rent one and we can bring a LOT from home. For example, when renting cabins, we spend most of the time there and cook most of our meals. Growing up, we didn’t have much.
