Now we’re back to the grind and hunkered down till next payday.
- $153 grocery
- $26 Applebees
- $26 liquor store (It’s the holidays. A girl needs her egg nog.)
I love the name of your website – very cute! I found this frugal hacker website and saw your site on it. My family’s been through some tough times, and we’ve been doing pretty well thanks to things like craigslist and freecycle (not to mention exhaustive applying for different agencies – ick). I found this site today that I like called Listia. It was just started August of’09 so there isn’t a *whole* lot of things on it quite yet, but Listia also puts a couple things up for fun, it’s really cool. It’s like ebay meets freecycle or the free section of craigslist. They don’t want your money. You bid on free stuff with “credits” you earn (not buy) by participating in the site: listing items, “buying” items with your credits, helping to moderate the community (flagging), and by networking/sharing the site with other people (think facebook aps style, I’m going a step further here lol).
Take care
I think I would have fun shopping with you! What Le Creuset items did you buy?
Karen – I got a Dutch oven, a skillet, and two mini casserole dishes. I’m in heaven.
