The Cheap Living Gazette: Frugal Living and Strategies to Save Money

Where Cheap Living Means Living Well


Frugal living is good living.

Are you tired of existing with a black cloud of debt or money worries looming over your head?

Well, you can do something about it. Join us as we take action, implement commonsense strategies to save money, and you'll soon be in better financial shape.

Cheap living means getting back to basics and re-discovering what's important in life.

Most of us are guilty of impulse buying. Advertisers and the media know precisely which buttons to press to get us to buy, buy, buy.


But enough's enough! Let's learn the joys of frugality.

Call us tightwads, cheapskates, and pennypinchers! It's a badge of honour we'll wear proudly as we learn how to survive a recession, get out of debt, and live within our means.

Say "Whoa, Nellie!" to unnecessary spending. The world's in an economic recession brought on by reckless banks and too much debt.

Most of us are living in the midst of an ever-more scary recession (and some media sources are even starting to use the dreaded "D" word).

Some of us are worrying about surviving job loss and the possibility of foreclosure.

But no-one's offering to bail us out.

So we've got to rescue ourselves.

Become your own superhero!

To us, frugality means enjoying the simple things in life: the company of family and friends, preparing good, nutritious meals from scratch, enjoying a simple, comfortable home, and saving for a rainy day.
