Living the good life on the cheap
Written on November 6, 2009 – 1:22 am | by admin
I have a book just out called BARGAIN JUNKIE: Living the Good Life on the Cheap.
It’s a humorous how-to book about how I live large by spending little. As a life-long upscale frugal person, I’ve managed to dress well, vacation in Italy, collect art, and eat out as often as possible without breaking the bank.
- I wore a brand new $1200 gown to my son’s wedding, that I found at a garage sale for twenty bucks.
- I entertain wealthy friends by inviting them to exotic (and cheap!) ethnic restaurants
- I picked up a geranium twig on the street, stuck it in the ground, and now have a flowering wall in my back yard.
- I barter all manner of good and services: gave my neighbor some public speaking coaching and she brought over a complete chicken dinner large enough to last the weekend.
