October Frugal Friday
Yes friends, it’s October’s first Friday, so time for your favorite feature, Frugal Friday. (Finally!)
We’ll start this month out with some news from the cultural front. Frugal Duchess brought us news of a survey done by allyou.com/Shortcuts.com. Respondents were asked to choose between four possible improvements to their lives: more sex, an extra $50 a week, drop one clothing size, or an extra hour a day of free time.
I believe that the combination of the Great Recession and the good work that I and others have been doing to spread the word about frugality must have done some good, because no less than 57% of people picked $50 more a month. In fact, they even rank ordered the other three correctly: drop a size, more sex and then finally an extra hour. (Of course, the question is a no-brainer. With $50 more a month you can buy the other three.)
