Meet a Reader | Gretchen from Oregon

The Frugal Girl

Today we’re meeting an Oregonian who does an impressive amount of homesteading. How did you become interesting in saving money? I can remember quite a few years in college and grad school when my part-time jobs juuuuust barely covered my expenses (and sometimes not even that!) Hello, everyone!

Meet a Reader | Beth from VA

The Frugal Girl

Today we’re meeting a reader who’s been here since 2009 (!!) I currently work part-time from home, mostly behind a computer. The focus was on saving money and resources and living in an eco-conscious way. It was during that time that I came across Kristen’s blog and I loved her voice and practical tips.

Meet a Reader | Mary from Reflections Around the Campfire

The Frugal Girl

I’m Mary, and it’s a pleasure to participate in Kristen’s Meet a Reader series. How did you get interested in saving money? I learned to save money by watching my parents. (I I still remember saving my change as a kid so I could “shop” for books at yard sales.) A third “why” is that saving money is like a game to me.
