Re: Frugal Survivor

I dont think freebies is actully a frugal thing. It would mean somone has to sacrafice in order for someone else to get some things free.

I probably end up with dumpster diving on that contest lol!

Ditto. Sometimes things are taken to an extreme and that is not good either way!

Re: Frugal Survivor

i dunno, i think freebies and allowing people to be creative would give frugality a better name and show how it can be enjoyable done creatively, whereas forcing people to use just their $50 could likely give the impression that frugality sucks.

if freebies and creativity are allowed, i'm in. DH is likely to gracefully decline.

I agree with you here. Creativity is the name of the game. When I say no cheating I was thinking the name of the game was to see what you could do with that amount of money and still be creative.

Since you only have a month the most you could do is grow sprouts in your room. You can't walk in with an envelope filled with coupons and rebates, and freebies coupons. That's cheating. If you know where to go you can get all you food from the USDA for free. I don't partake but I know where I can get two bags of groceries for free every Wednesday, that's cheating.

This challenge woud be easy for many of us we know that we could win we have the tools. To tell you the truth many of us would "save" some of the money. LOL

This challenge is for the big spenders, the Jones',and those that try to keep up with them, those who don't know a week without a restaurant meal, etc.
