Living Frugal

 I was never a really frugal mom until I was forced to be and now, I realize how much I was missing out on.

I always thought that living frugal meant I was being cheap but, I was sooooo wrong! It's actually exciting when I find the deal of the century and it's such a rush! I get the same feeling I used to have when buying a $500.00 pair of sunglasses or a $600.00 purse.

 I look back at that now and think how many awesome deals I could've bought with all that dough! I owe it all to my friend Stephanie who has been given the title "The Frugal Mom". She lives on a budget and hasn't purchased clothes for her kids in 3 years because she get's hand me downs from her friends! I need more friends with kids older than mine ; )

 I have networked and made lot's of frugal mom friends on facebook who share in great deals like this one from Snapfish for a 20 page 5 x 7 photobook shipped for only $1.99 what?!! Ya that's right $1.99...how many awesome gifts would these make for a new grandparent or holiday gift. I found this awesome deal on Frugal living and having fun she gives you the coupon code for this and lot's of other great deals and steals.

So my lesson today is...It's not cheap to be frugal, It's Fabulous!
