The Frugal Girl

I did a good job of eating my fridge down Remember how I didn’t really go grocery shopping last week, and only spent $18 on food? A full fridge tends to encourage food waste because things get lost. Well, that’s because we were busy eating up everything we had. And here’s how I sell books on eBay.

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. Eventually, when I was married and working at a library I ordered my own copy of the Complete Tightwad Gazette–and I still have it!

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. Eat at grocery stores! The freedom was amazing. K and Finn (my parents dog) 12.
