A Hip and Snappy Word on Frugality

I've already covered a few of these basics here in this blog, but Liz Gumbinner has a snappier take on them, plus a few others I haven't gotten around to talking about yet.

I'm particularly fond of her last suggestion - about not going cheap on key items like baby's first shoes. Her point? "Spending 30% more for something that lasts beats spending 100% more because the first pair wore down in two weeks."

True. That's the difference between thrifty and cheap.
