| Festival of Frugality #23 |
Welcome to the 23rd edition of the Festival of Frugality. I want to thank everyone who took the time to enter. I managed to squeeze almost everyone in (I was really puzzled by one submission - so left that out). While trying to figure out how to organize this weeks' posts, I took my inspiration from the Wikipedia definition of frugality. As you click on the word or phrase in the definition it will take you down to the group of posts whose subject matter fit (in my opinion). - Enjoy!Frugality
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frugality (also known as thrift or thriftiness), often confused with cheapness or miserliness, is a traditional value, life style, or belief system, in which individuals practice both restraint in the acquiring of and resourceful use of economic goods and services in order to achieve lasting and more fulfilling goals. Frugality emphasizes economical use of money in meeting long term personal, familial, and communal desires. Some of the main strategies of frugality are the reduction of waste, changing costly habits, suppressing instant gratification by means of fiscal self-restraint, and seeking efficiency.
Sometimes associated with the concept of frugality is a philosophy in which one does not trust, or is deeply wary of, 'expert' knowledge, often from commercial markets or corporate cultures, claiming to know what is in the 'best' economic, material or spiritual interests of the individual.

Thanks for looking out for me, Jane. You're right, I am tired. I spent the weekend in Boston visiting my in-laws and recovering from a nasty stomach flu. We got all the way back home before we realized that the trunk of our car flooded in your crazy rain storm. There was about six inches of water sloshing around in our trunk's wheel well.
