Does Your Guy Have a “Boo Budget” for You?
Hi, my Frugalistas! I asked Terence of the infamous coupons on a date post on TheFrugalista.com, to write a post on how he’s able to budget to entertain his little lady. Read below and let me know what you think about how he’s able to fit his “boo” in his working man’s budget. I think [...]
Healthy Food on an Unhealthy Budget
On NPR, I got a call from a guy who said he cooks at home but is gaining weight. I also know a lot of people who say that eating healthy is more expensive. Take a browse around Whole Foods or The Fresh Market and you may not see the same prices as say, oh, [...]
I AM Thankful for…
All of you who read my blog and give me encouragement with every post I write. I am thankful for the stories we share on saving on Facebook, Twitter and in the comment section here on the blog. I am thankful to everyone who pre-ordered my book on saving money. Publishing is no joke! I [...]
Cooking at home made easy
True confession: some days, I don’t know what to make for dinner. Yes, I am a big fan of cooking at home, but when you do it all of the time, it’s easy to run out of recipes. I mean, really, how many times can you make a stir fry in one week? Because I [...]
#dealchat :Couponing
Who said coupons aren’t sexy? At my weekly Twitter #dealchat last night, I had a jolly old time chatting about coupons. Now, I’ve been known to use a coupon code or two, but the ladies last night treated couponing as a competitive sport! Special thanks to guest bloggers Monroe on a Budget and Birmingham Bargain [...]

Spending diets!
Baltimore Sun blogger Christopher E. Nelson quoted me in a great post about spending diets. Every February , I make an effort, either a week or a month, to seriously deprive myself of spending. I find that it disciplines me and makes me financially focused for the rest of the year. For two years, I [...]
Guacamole Recipe: Happy Cinco de Mayo
Hola, Mis Frugalistas! I mentioned on twitter last week that I have a mean guacamole recipe that I use. I’m addicted to guacamole because avocados are good for your skin and guacamole is great with margaritas, a Frugalista’s dream. So, in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I wanted to post it for my pretties! Guacamole [...]
Mother’s Day Gift Guide
Hello, Frugalistas! I trust you had an awesome weekend. I had a good one, so I can’t complain. So, I do some professional blogging (i.e. paid gig, so I must disclose!) for another site, smartshoppersunite.com and I did a Mother’s Day Gift Guide over there that I think you will enjoy. I’d love for you [...]
Frugalista on Oprah Radio
Yippee! I’m going to be on The Derrick Ashong Experience at 1: 30 p.m. (est), Saturday. The Derrick Ashong Experience is a radio show that’s all about “socially meaningful media.” You all know, I have a twitter addiction. Remember, #dealchat is tonight at 8 p.m. (est). You love it, right? I’m all about having “the [...]
