Check out Kim Robinson’s latest blog posting (see sidebar for link).  Kim and I did indeed have a long discussion about frugal vs. cheap and anybody here in Barriere who knows me well, may very well have had similiar conversations with me.  Why pay more something new when there is something used (free even) that will do?  Save money, save resources, save just a tiny little bit more of the planet.

I’ve written before on this blog about our society’s stigma when it comes to frugality and the confusion with “cheapness”.  It’s all a matter of quality of life and if your quality of life is that much better for frugality, then you are doing something right for everyone!

So check out Kim’s posting and let me know if you’ve ever scavenged for “throw away” items, been aggressive about getting something for free that might otherwise have been tossed, or simply refused to buy something because it simply did not bring you resounding satisfaction! 

I KNOW there are more of us out there…come on out!
