Frugal Friday
For some years now, I've subscribed to The Motley Fool, for tips about savings and stuff. With the onset of hard times, they've started sending out a weekly email called Frugal Friday, oddly enough on a Friday.
The purpose of these emails is to highlight bargains so subscribers can go save some money.
So far, I've bought a boxed set of Buffy DVDs, a similar one for Angel and the entire set of Peep Show. All were bargains but, and here's the important bit, all would have remained happily unbought had I not been told about the sodding things. I would have saved more money had they not sent me the email.
I have had a little more resolve in recent weeks and not bought a thing for ages. The next email is due soon but I will be strong.
I will be strong. I will be strong. I will be strong. Oooh, that's cheap.
