Frugal Snobbery

I had a few miniscule drops of energy left after putting the kids to bed this evening so I thought I’d search the blogging world for frugal tips (yes, I know, totally nerdy Friday night behavior, go ahead point and laugh). I found some fantastic new blogs that I can’t wait to spend more time with and I found a ridiculous one as well. I came across a blog all about a person’s “frugal life” and I had to laugh. Then I realized that I am a frugal snob. The author of the “frugal life” I will call it had a Christmas list that involved her 15 year old daughter getting some $300 ipod thing and her husband wanted some matching animal skin belt and boots that together cost well over $700! I can’t find the darned blog now so I can’t quote the exact price on the man clothes but I had to laugh. Then she snapped a photo of a great shopping trip where she utilized sales and coupons and got a whole load of crap for only $42.50. Her shopping spree included several packages of cookies, boxes of cereal, dozens of oozy type lip gloss and many other “stuffs” that would never even be purchased in my home regardless of price. Soon after reading that blog I stumbled upon these posts and I just KNOW the author this blog would also be laughing at that lady right along with me because he despises stuff I think even more than I do. Oh us frugal snobs could have great party making fun of those frugal-wanna-bes. For my imaginary frugal snob party there would have to be carpooling involved to save on gas and what would we serve? Certainly all of us would all drink water. Oh man, what I have become?

Here are some goodies I found:
