Frugalstiner-ed!

Well friends, it happened. Someone took a piece of advice that she read here on this blog and used it on me. I, frugalstiner, was frugalstinered (yes, its a verb!). I met friends for lunch at a swanky resturant and one of my friends commented that she forgot her wallet at home. I offered to buy her lunch and after I paid, she laughed that she had read to do that on this blog. I was floored! I couldn't believe it. I paused for a moment, considering taking away the food I had just handed to her, telling her she can't out frugal the pro but then I was so overcome with pride that someone had taken advice from this blog and used it, that I couldn't be mad. Its why I created this blog...to make this world a more frugal place for everyone!

Today is the last day of January which means tomorrow starts Frugal February....look for even more tips this month on how to save money and stay cool!

Until next time friends...

2012... The year of frugal

Well, it's the new year, and that means a new blog post about saving money...

Dinner at a friend's: This is a good one. I will often invite myself over to my friends' house to have dinner... this ensures that you can avoid buying groceries, going out, or spending any money on refreshments.

Storing up unused napkins from restaurants: Have you ever noticed how generous waiters are with napkins at most chain restaurants? Well, I can personally attest to the fact that most wait staff doesn't keep track of how many napkins you have sneaked into your purse... and guess what... napkins and paper products are expensive. These pilfered napkins can be used as kleenex, if they are soft enough, toilet paper, or simply napkins!

Oh yeah... in 2012 you can look for a few more contributors to the frugalstiner brain trust. So keep your eyes posted for more frugal tips.
