Dinero Saves Dinero: Less Television
Meow!
Hi everyone, this is Dinero and I am telling you about another way that I help Lulu save money. Remember I have helped her to save money on heat in Dinero Saves Dinero: Heaters in the past.
Since I have blessed Lulu with my presence she has been spending more time playing with me. This translates to less time spent watching television since I demand ask for about 30 minutes of her time every day when she gets home from work.
Frugal Frauds Revealed
I was recently accused of being a Frugal Fraud because of some of the things I do. A Frugal Fraud is someone who talks about ways to save money but then is not implementing those changes in his or her own life.
I noticed that a few other bloggers were also revealing the less than frugal things they did in their daily lives and this gave me the idea for a roundup.
Now we all talk about being frugal and finding ways to save money but as personal finance bloggers we are not the die hard frugalists who make their own soap and cut dryer sheets into 4 pieces to save money.

Dinero Saves Dinero: Heater
Meow!
Hi everyone, Dinero here doing a little guest post. I am new to this blogging thing so bear with me a little bit. I am helping Lulu to save money because she fell off the frugal wagon today a little bit.
It was cold today and she got the day off. She decided to put on the main heater because the apartment was a bit chilly.
Silly human!
Well I know how she is always trying to find ways to save money and I know that the heater is expensive so I decided to nudge her back to reality.
Saving Money At Work Makes My Coworkers Mad
Welcome To How I Save Money!
I work in a little place where we have a staff of about 12 people. Since we are so small, everyone tends to be all up in everyone else’s business and they talk a lot about what is going on.
There is a man who comes to the workplace to sell fruits and vegetables at $44.50 a box. The box contains an assortment of things like grapefruits, bananas, sweet potatoes, strawberries and green beans to name a few. The man only takes cash or checks (understandably) and wants to be paid on the spot.
