There still might be an element of maintenance (for the bike, or the purchase of appropriate walking shoes), but generally it’s much cheaper if you are close enough to your work to walk or bike. We managed to avoid having it show up on the insurance, but we still had a hefty fine to pay. Potential Problems with Your Commute.

MARCH 26, 2015

We have some hefty financial goals this year and this is just one more way for me to squeeze more from our budget. I have found new or gently worn name brand clothing, snow gear, shoes, household stuff, and books. March Update: I did a little shopping in March and it was mostly for our oldest daughter.

Cheap Chica's Guide To Style

MARCH 12, 2009

I happen to love the look of a white bag year round and I say to hell with the “no white shoes/bags&# after Labor Day rule! It has a very Bottega Venetta feel, without the hefty price tag! Dear CheapChica I need a comfortable yet stylish shoe. Dear CheapChica It’s a new year and it’s about time I update.
