How long have you been reading The Frugal Girl? One of my children has special needs, and we need to look to their future and make sure the kiddo has resources to draw on to be comfortable. What’s your best frugal win? My best frugal win is marrying my husband. I also hate mending – which is not frugal at all.

Be Exceptionally Frugal. I don’t want to use the term extreme frugality, because that sounds absolutely horrible. I want to challenge myself to rethink our purchases by taking advantage of more cost effective solutions, like borrowing, buying second hand, or just making do with what we already have.
