Frugal Times Ahead…
The boyfriend just called with some exciting news (he works in real estate, dealing mostly with apartment rentals). He has a new unit about to post. Its in the neighborhood where we have been looking, its a fairly new building, close to grocery, bus lines, parks, and fun (bars, venues, restaurants -not that I’ll be [...]

Still on the Wagon
I just glanced at my calendar and realized that its already been a full 15 days of my no shopping challenge. No shoes, clothes, accessories or bags. Whew.
My closet has had a full clean out. One giant bag of things hopefully selling like hotcakes at my local consignment shop and another in the basement to [...]

Coffee Breaks Are My Sanity
Both my August and September goals have included something about no-spend days. While I have been meeting the goals, and appreciate the concept of them, and looooove how they look on my tracking sheet, they are, at the same time a bit stifling to me.

(too bad I don’t get paid for proclaiming my undying love for ing all over the internet…all. the. time.)
I was just checking out my sub-accounts… renaming them, moving money around, playing banker or something… and I discovered (I don’t know how I missed it before…) that I can send a paper check from my orange [...]

Its been a tumultuous couple of days.
I’ve been living with some close married friends of mine for three years now. They are the best roommates I’ve ever had. Two years ago, the three of us adopted a dog together. About a year ago my boyfriend joined the “family” and the husbands classmates stopped singing the three’s company [...]

I seem to be suffering from some sort of financial writers block. I can’t think of any frugal tips, I don’t want to talk about the stock market, or frugal cooking, not even my self imposed six month ban on shopping (snoooore)… I think it all started when I began writing this post a couple [...]

$42 date night?
Last winter the boy and I took an beginning pottery class and found we had a bit of a knack for pottery. Not only that, we were guaranteed a fun date night at least once a week, and sometimes we would hit up open studio on the weekends. The class was $180 for 10 classes in a [...]

Confession: Clothing Binge
Remember this post? It was sort of quaint and I told you that all I really needed was a new pair of black pumps (true) and a black pea coat (honestly better suited for the want list) and just a couple of little ol t-shirts for layering before I quit shopping for 3 months.
I guess some [...]

I am really going to have to get on track with my frugal ways come October. October will mark the start of my four month cleanse from clothing, shoes, bags and accessories. I have one month left on my 3 month unlimited bikram yoga card and then I think I’ll take a break from that [...]
