Since I’m poor I don’t really have a lot of disposable income but even if I did, I’m not sure I’d be willing to make a political contribution–even if I really loved a candidate. I can’t help think but that money would be better spent on things that actually go towards something real. I could […]

One of the easiest ways to save money is to buy in bulk. On the surface it’s more expensive because you’re of course paying for things that you don’t immediately need but if you’re certain you’re ultimately going to use something and you’re paying less per item, there’s no reason to pass up bulk savings.

I know I haven’t written a post in a long time but I’m really going to try harder to keep new entries coming in. The problem is that I’m so busy that I forget how little time it takes to update this. Even though deep-down I know it only takes five minutes (or ten minutes […]

I’ve added some more recipes to the Frugal Recipes part of the site, mostly in the breakfast area. Who doesn’t love breakfast food?

This probably sounds crazy but I miss retail shopping. Up here there is mostly boutique shopping which means insanely high prices that are well beyond my student budget.

For some extra money this summer I have been working as a copyrighter. It’s a pretty terrible job–writing manuals for machines and whatnot. Even though Washington is such an expensive city, the pay isn’t really in-step with the costs of living here. The job pays about $15/hr, which is about what it pays in Florida. […]
