Meet a Reader | Beth from VA

The Frugal Girl

I don’t use it much, but I have run background checks for divorced friends who are dating again through online apps. He’s saved us a lot of money by being able to repair so many things on his own, by building and repurposing furniture pieces, and by making gifts that we did not have to buy. It was a fascinating process.

Do you love kiwi?

Tell us a bit about yourself. I’m a 53-year-old mother of 2 (grown) and grandmother of 4. But I did learn some things that I find I use today. I save money where I can to keep it frugal, like by using apps, coupons, value menus, etc. They work, at least they did the last time I used them.
