What’s your frugal personality?

I will walk miles for free parking. I will risk losing the perfect dress because I’d rather wait for it to go on sale. I skin chicken because its cheaper and I learned to clean my pool myself because it looked like too easy a job to pay some one $100 a month to do.

What are your spending weaknesses?

Fresh fruits, vegetables, sushi, drinking with friends, and eating out.

 

 

 

What do you save on?

Everything domestic including cooking, cleaning and gardening.

What do you splurge on?

My car payment is my greatest indulgence. I love my car.

 

 

 

What is the best deal you’ve gotten lately?

Curtains from JC Penny. I googled a coupon and scored 70% off!!

How much money do you have in your wallet right now?

$20 cash

What frugal tip(s) do you swear by?

Don’t be lazy. Do it yourself!

It’s pretty clear that this frugal diva has a money saving plan! She spends more on the things she love and saves a bunch by doing a lot of things herself. Sometimes girls can act too cute to pick up a hammer or in this case a pool net, but getting a little will keep your pockets full! You go girl!
