Coupons can be such a […]

Recalled toys

It’s so sad to read on the news about yet another dangerous toy. Usually you see things being recalled just for a little piece that could break off…something minor. Yesterday, a news story came out about a toy that was coated in GHB. I can’t help but wonder how this even happens […]

Online TV

If you’re extremely busy like I am, it’s easy to get behind on your favorite TV shows. It’s hard to be home at the right time when you have so much going on. You also don’t want to put TV above your social life! My fix for this is watching TV […]

Apartments

If you live in a big city, you know that housing can be extremely expensive. Before I moved here, I paid about $350/month with roommates and $700 in my own place (including all utilities, tv, etc.). Here, an average studio/efficiency in a fairly nice neighborhood is over $1,000, usually not including utilities. […]

Sales Tax

Living in DC, I’m lucky to have two states nearby. Maryland, Virginia, and DC all have very different personalities, and it’s fun to take advantage of all of the opportunities.

Doing what you love

Today my school had a career day to talk about summer internships for the first summer of our three year program. I have to say it was a little overwhelming! I plan to go into the public interest sector of my profession - needless to say, it pays hardly anything. Summer internships […]

Local Brewery

Tonight I celebrated the end of the week with a few friends from school. Instead of going to the trendy, expensive part of town, we decided to hit up a bar in our neighborhood that brews their own beer. What a great decision! We went, of course, at happy hour time. […]

Gourmet Cheese

Living frugally doesn’t mean giving up the finer things in life, it just means being more creative about getting them. Down the street from me is a gourmet wine and cheese shop. I’ll talk about the wine sometime in the future. They have a cheese counter that sells amazing, very expensive cheese. […]
