We’re in this week’s Festival of Frugality!
We’re in this week’s Festival of Frugality, over at Experiments in Finance. For some great money-saving tips, go and take a look.
My personal favourites this week are:
- A guide to book swapping services online. I never knew these existed but they’re a brilliant idea — I’ll have to give it a go!
- 5 ways to save money on haircuts. For the boys of course. The Bargain Queen never skimps on haircuts!
- Don’t make this shopping mistake at the grocery store - it’ll cost you. Bigger quantities aren’t always cheaper.
- New York City on a budget. Fantastic tips for the traveller!
- Adult allowances. A great idea for making room in your budget for the fun things in life. Mr Bargain Queen and I do this too — we each have a ‘play money’ allowance every week that we can spend on anything we want. We don’t account for where it goes and don’t have to justify what we spend it on to one another (no matter how frivolous). It’s money we can afford to spend as we please, so that’s exactly what we do.

Hah. Girls with short hair can use my haircut tips too! Later mates!
I guess they can — didn’t think of that :)
Good for pointing out the grocery store scam - my grocery store posts the breakdown of price per oz. on most labels so you can check and make sure you really want the gigantic size of Cheerios, so I always try and remember to check - esp. on cereals, they’re SO expensive!
What a great idea! I wish our grocery store did that…
