Ms. Frugal

Living a frugal life doesn’t mean spending no money at all.  And sometimes, you need to spend a little to save a lot.  Here are three examples.  First, LED light bulbs.  These cost a little more up front, but they use much less energy.  This means a savings on your monthly electric bill and a longer lasting light, not to mention a little help for the environment.  Next, rechargeable batteries.  Again, these cost a little more on the front end, but you’ll save tons, especially when you use battery-draining items like a digital camera.  Lastly, invest in a nice water filter.  This will save you from buying bottled water, which is definitely a waste of money.  It’s definitely okay to spend a little when it will save you a lot!
