What’s your best frugal win? Best frugal win: I guess two, one is learning to cut hair, as I’ve mentioned before in my comments here. The other frugal win was we have been able to purchase two vehicles outright, with no loans. We always find free/inexpensive things to do on our trips, if we can.

If it couldn’t be done for free, we didn’t do it or did it very, very seldom. Eating out or going to a movie were once a year events. We especially never put anything consumable (like gas, food, eating out, movies and etc) on a credit card. That took forever! We saved and saved and saved.

Slow and steady wins the race! This week I wanted to comment on eating out while on Nutrisystem. You just order a big veggie salad with fat free dressing (or bring your own).

I’ve mentioned how much I like Upromise before because it helps you save for college by doing things you are already doing : Shopping, Eating Out, Buying Tickets, or Fill Your Gas Tank. 10 winners will win $1000 and a grand prize winner will win $10,000. All opinions are 100% mine. Is it to go to college?
