So for awhile now, I've had several projects going. Good for me (right?) but it probably left you wondering, "Hey, what ever happened to that?" I'd like to update you on a couple of fronts. First of all, you may remember how I decided to become a total...

A Week In Food
When it comes to food, I am unwilling to compromise. I want to eat things that are good for me, meaning I don't want to eat things just because they are cheap. I've had people tell me they spend $150 for two people per week at the grocery store. Sean and I spent...
Happy Super Fat Tuesday From Ms. Frugality Burnout
I like to think that I coined the term Super Fat Tuesday early this morning. I thought I was so clever until a quick Google search proved my otherwise, as it usually does. Oh well.
As luck would have it, I won a Superbowl pool over the weekend for predicting the overall total score without going over. I know, I know, I know nothing about sports and just got lucky. But good for me, right? I am now $125 richer. As with unexpected cash flow in general, the question is save or spend. So what would you do with an extra hundred bucks if it just happened to you?
Losing Weight: Pure Vanity or Money Saver?
It all started this summer when I realized that I only fit into a fraction of the clothes I owned. I hadn’t worn them since moving to Vinalhaven two years earlier (and it’s really not a trouser kind of place) and I clearly was unable to wear them. I had apparently had some weight sneak up on me.
Beer, desserts, lack of exercise and age can catch up to us all. It seems like it happens all of a sudden but really it’s creeping on your for months or years on end. Like many Americans, it is time for me to lose weight.
Now I’m not (at least I don’t think) what anyone would call fat but my BMI was 25 and I was winded going for a hike.
A Moral Dilemma
I’ve been faced with an interesting dilemma these past couple of weeks. Twice, I have been contacted about advertising on my site. Would I be interested in advertising? How about a pay-per-post or a small text ad? Basically, do you want money for what you are already...
How To Free Up 10% Of Space On Your Hard Drive
I know, I know. My posts are getting more techy and less saving money lately. Essentially the issue is my almost five year old laptop is not running so hot (imagine that) but I can't afford to replace it, at least not right now. When I tried to run a defrag a week ago...
No Computer Issues Google Can’t Fix
I am one of those ridiculously focused types who, when I really want to get something done, will obsess until it is. So what I thought was a little photo problem has become way bigger as I begin to dig. Sean and I went to Moab last April. Beautiful scenery, had a...

The Grocery Game
I'm all for coupons. They're a good idea and I have absolutely no problem taking the time to cut them out (or, as we have now entered the internet age, seek them out). I've tried a few coupon sites. Coupons.com has coupons for things I never buy (but they're on my...
