Frugal Life and Travel …
Good Value Means A Good Life
Frugal life and travel is about living the good life – on less money than you may think possible. It is about getting the most benefit from the fewest resources. It’s about using your time, talents, and money wisely.
Frugal life and travel is my nature. I’m putting this website together to share with you some of our frugal ways. Maybe I can help you cut your expenses and stretch your household income. I’d like to help you live well without busting your budget.
My name is Coleen and I’m a tightwad, a cheapskate, and a penny-pincher. I’m cost-conscious, tightfisted, and penny-wise. I’m shrewd, careful, and prudent. I consider myself practical, sensible, and efficient. I don’t consider myself stingy or miserly, but others might. Because I'm frugal, I can also be generous.
I look for things that are economical and cost effective. I like being frugal, getting the best deal, and saving money. I like being thrifty. Sometimes, I go for what is inexpensive. But, only if I think that it is the best value.
Back in 1992, my husband and I quit our regular jobs and became full-time RV travelers. Frugality and thriftiness let us do what we love and have what we need.
