Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
Hello, Frugalistas! I just wanted to pass along this money fact on the holiday observing Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday: Dr. King won $54,123 in 1964 when he won the Nobel Peace Price at age 35. He used the money to support civil rights. That amount of money was quite a bit for the [...]
Kourtney Kardashian is an Extreme Couponer
I have to admit that I’ve been known to view Kardashian TV from time to time. Please don’t judge me! I recently caught up on Kourtney & Kim Take New York and noticed that Kourtney has taken up extreme couponing as a hobby. With Kourtney pregnant with her second kid, I think she may be [...]
Is Kanye West a Frugalisto?
So last night, Kanye West did an 86-tweet speech about starting a design company and needing talent.

Frugal and Fab New Year’s Budgeting!
It’s holiday time for the real Frugalistas: The New Year!!! The passion for personal finance and budgeting is high in January, and I love it. I have to admit that I’m not the most conventional when it comes to budgeting. I don’t use a spreadsheet. I use a hybrid of paper and pen for adding [...]
Nordstrom Rack Sale
Nordstrom Rack is holding a clearance sale from now until Jan. 1. I’ve been studying Nordstrom Rack more. I suggest checking out the bras (especially if you are looking for larger sizes), panties, hose and jewelry. Depending on the store, you can find a Marc Jacobs bag – the grown up bags, not the junior [...]
Renting Out Your Life for Money
Newsweek ran a piece by essayist Rob Baedeker detailing how he rents out items in his home and even his dog to make some extra cash. I’m all about the side hustle and believe in several streams of income. Heck, I’ve even written about people selling their bodies for cash! Still, I am so surprised [...]
Was Steve Jobs a Frugalisto?
I found an interesting video on youtube about Steve Jobs’ views on money. For a billionaire, he lived rather modestly. No servants, classic wardrobe (black turtlenecks) etc. I would say his tech contributions were rather fabulous! Yes, that was the understatement of the century. Anyway, I wanted to share his views on money to see [...]
Is Christine Lagarde a Frugalista?
Yay! So I watched 60 minutes last night and was really intrigued by Christine Lagarde, the first woman to become managing director of the International Montetary Fund. I immediately got some Frugalista vibes from her. She does her own grocery shopping, wears a Birkin bag and is a top money boss! Check out her Vogue [...]
