MISSION ~ POSSIBLE

Frugal B's mission is to help you save money in nontraditional ways. Most times people are looking to monetarily increase an IRA, a Savings Account, even increase their contributions to company matched 401K's (which is GREAT!). However it is easy to forget about small incremental changes that can affect the bottom line and do more than save, stretch, or increase your pennies. Such as, teach smart spending to your children through coupon clipping and shopping sales (yes they are watching your spending habits). Investing time in your family's health through meal planning and grocery budgeting (lots of money to save here). And lastly relationship building through goal oriented projects that will build trust and know how.

In blog land I have seen people challenge themselves to do more, give more and be more with less. Ana White gives the tools to build like a skilled carpenter (she ROCKS). Ree, The pioneer woman gives us delectable recipes (great tutorials) and is an awesome source for photography information (I can not wait to get my SLR camera). Katie, Censational girl will push you out of your builder basic box (she does white kitchens right). Younghouselove's Sherri and John encourage you to have fun with whatever you are doing (couple blogging at it's best!). And last but not least the Nester and her mistreatment's, frugal at it's best.

While these sites were not built with frugality in mind they have inspired me to "DO IT MYSELF, MY WAY", and what better way to save than educate yourself and cut out the middle man$$$$

I look forward to sharing, my tips and tricks on saving, sharing my personal journey in frugality (yes sometimes it is a struggle), and learning how to do this BLOG thingy!
