Finding Myself Again

One Frugal Girl — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 19:43:26 +0000

As part of my fanatical decluttering I gave away the majority of my wardrobe. To be honest I grew tired of looking at drawers full of clothes that didn’t seem to fit properly anymore. Some items didn’t really suit my taste and others were from a time long gone by. There were those button down ... Read more

Simply Annoyed

In just a few days my family will leave for our annual beach vacation. We take two major trips to the beach each year; one that marks the start of summer and one that marks the end of it. I’m in charge of figuring out everything we might need, packing it up and more often ... Read more

When Money Saving Tricks Fail

One Frugal Girl — Wed, 11 Dec 2013 21:48:49 +0000

As I was waiting in line at my local TJ Maxx I watched a woman scurry over to the checkout counter. “Can I leave this here?,” she asked, rolling an oversized piece of luggage into a corner next to the carts. A few minutes later she reappeared. “Can I leave this here too?,” she asked ... Read more

Do You Have a Shopping Vice?

One Frugal Girl — Mon, 11 Nov 2013 15:24:27 +0000

Did you ever have one of those moments where you look down in your shopping bag and wonder what on earth you just bought? Maybe you don’t regret the purchase right away, maybe it creeps up on you months later when you look at that awful orange dress hanging in the closet or the ridiculously ... Read more

Consignment Sales Are Not For Me

One Frugal Girl — Mon, 28 Oct 2013 21:17:08 +0000

Last week I heard about a local consignment sale going on in my area. My son doesn’t need much these days, but for some reason I convinced myself to take a few minutes out of my day to poke around the place. I went alone, (my husband was kindly babysitting), so I had plenty of ... Read more

Price Changes and Crappy Return Policies

One Frugal Girl — Wed, 08 May 2013 18:21:22 +0000

We have been blessed by box after box of hand-me-downs from friends and family. It’s been a true blessing because my son seems to outgrow his clothes ridiculously quickly. At the current time he’s an odd fit. He has a very long torso, but he’s skinny and has relatively short legs. At least it seems ... Read more

What Would You Do: Spend More to Save a Little?

One Frugal Girl — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 18:00:48 +0000

Last night a friend of mine asked me a money related question and I thought I’d post it here to see what my wonderful readers have to say. Imagine you are shopping for clothes. The store is holding a sale where you can save $20 if you buy $80 worth of merchandise. You browse the ... Read more

Buried in a Sea of Ribbons and Paper

One Frugal Girl — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 22:54:54 +0000

I subscribe to a bunch of party related blogs. I have no idea why I do this. I rarely throw parties, I’m not particularly crafty and I can’t imagine sitting around creating handmade centerpieces, gift bags and favors. Despite these facts I am absolutely mesmerized by the colorful images. In fact, while I skip over ... Read more

Cheap, Cheap Clothes at Gymboree!

One Frugal Girl — Sat, 16 Jun 2012 13:30:24 +0000

Long before the summer started I bought my son a very expensive swimsuit from Gymboree. I couldn’t wait to introduce my little one to the water for the very first time and I guess I wanted to dress him in something special for that occasion. I’m not sure why I thought that, but nonetheless that thinking ... Read more
