A List of Lists for the Frugal

Posted by: kimc on Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

6 Noteworthy lists by frugal bloggers:

  1. Top 100 Things to Disappear in a Disaster - what would you add to the list?
  2. 100 Ways to Save $1000 in 1 day - the title may be an exaggeration, but there's plenty here to get anyone headed in the right direction.
  3. Best 101 Debt-Busting Posts of 2009 (From 101 Frugal Bloggers) - Wow.  Where to start?  There's enough material here to keep us all reading for years.  Can anybody help me out and tell me their favorite articles from this massive list?
  4. When Times are Tight: 168 Frugal Tips to Make Your Dollar Stretch - I like to think that I already know and use most of these ideas, but the reminders certainly don't hurt, and I did find a few new twists.
  5. The Cheapskate Guide: 50 Tips for Frugal Living - from Zen Habits.   This list is shorter but deeper, and it's more about lifestyle than quick-n-easy ways to save a buck.  It's also a bit more controversial in places.  Give up the cell phone?!
  6. 28 Tasty Tips for Supermarket Savings - I thought I was a pretty frugal shopper, but there were some tips here that I needed to be reminded of: weigh pre-weighed produce, for example.   Not all 10 lb. bags of potatoes or 4 lb. bags of oranges are created equal.

The title of that “100 was to save $1000 in 1 day” MUST be an exaggeration, because I don’t know how I can save in one day more than I make in a month!
