Frugal Gifts That You Want From Your Man
Hey, my Frugs! How are you? I asked some of my blogger friends to tell me what their significant other, or any love interest, could buy or give them for Christmas that was low cost and lovely. The responses will show you that we women are beautiful, loving and kindhearted people! I am providing this [...]
What Makes You Happy? Spending on Things Or Experiences?
Hey! I was a guest on the The Callie Crossley Show, an awesome radio show out of Boston, last week. I had a ball with the guests and call-in listeners, chatting about ways that we chose to spend – or not spend – in this economy. Be sure to listen to it on this link. [...]
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 [...]
Coupons and Dating
Hello! I promised to get you all the #dealchat transcript from last week on Coupon Etiquette. We had some really great tips in that Twitter conversation, but the most spirited part of the online chat dealt with coupons and dating.

College Women Use Sugar Daddies to Pay Student Loans

The Glamour article says that a study by online dating site Zoosk found that 60 percent of women said they’d date someone unemployed in 2010, up from 52 percent in [...]
Would you break off a relationship because of debt?
Good day, my Frugalistas. I read an article about how some people who have large loads of debt are missing out on love. When one woman, Allison Brooke Eastman,told her husband-to-be how much student loan debt she had ($170,000), he broke off the engagement. Ouch. I definitely think you should talk about your financial status [...]
Links of Love
Hi Frugalistas, I wanted to shout out some blogs/sites that have given Thefrugalista.com a little shine: Shopittome.com named me one of its new trendsetters! Shopittome.com is like an online personal shopper. You tell the site your favorite brands and your size and it emails you when clothing goes on sale. So happy for the shout [...]
Married Women Outearning Men
An increasing number of married women are out-earning their men, according to a Pew Research Center study. About 22 percent of women earned more than their spouse in 2007. Only four percent of women earned more than their husband in 1970. I am not shocked by these statistics. My college had way more women than [...]
