Well, this month at Digital Woman we have been told the subject is Frugal Tips. I wrestled with what should I be writing about Frugal or Cheap and is there a difference. So I immediately went to visit my oldest, most treasured friend, Webster. As in, Webster Dictionary. Here is his definition:

Avoiding waste; “an economical meal”; “an economical shopper”; “a frugal farmer”; “a frugal lunch”; “a sparing father and a spending son”; “sparing in their use of heat and light”; “stinting in bestowing gifts”; “thrifty because they remember the great Depression”; Costing little; inexpensive: a frugal lunch. Economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful: a frugal manager.

The best quote I could think of was; “Let’s all tighten up our belts a little”. Why I chose that quote is because my monthly blog will consist of anything from breathing, eating, sleeping, weddings; you name it I will cover it……I am sniffing out all of the tidbits or interest and great savings. So enjoy.

I have recently read that Cheap is the new chic.” That’s what a character from the “Ugly Betty” sitcom said recently during a party-planning scene. That’s right. Frugal is fashionable, no longer a dirty word.
