Name or Pseudonym:: The Cheap Chick

About Me:: I'm a Realtor in the great state of Minnesota. Because I'm a Midwest girl at heart, I am deeply frugal - thus my blog. I'm doing a year-long experiment where I can only spend $20 per item on everything I buy. And that means EVERYTHING - shoes, clothes, beauty products, gas, vacations, you name it. Check out my blog to see how I'm doing so far.

Will we all stay friends?

Now that NaBloPoMo has past, will we all continue to stop by this here site? I hope so, since I've met some super-fab bloggers and would like to stay in touch.

Back with a vengence

I haven't posted NEARLY enough this holiday, what with all the turkey consumption and general laziness of me, but I'm back. I said back, dammit! With a renewed sense of purpose and more tales of shopping greatness!

So, if you haven't yet, check out my blog at http://cheapbutnoteasy.blogspot.com. There WILL be posts, I promise.

Have a great day!

We just left MN after living there for several years. Do NOT miss the traffic :-)

At 5:01pm on November 19th, 2007, Sarah Hershman said…: Why yes, it is a flamingo shower curtain, and I got it at everyone's favorite store, Target, although I'm not sure if they have them any more.

BUT, the only bathroom in our new apartment is so small we decided not to put up such a ...prominent... shower curtain and just went with plain white, so it's just been sitting in the closet for two months. It's clean and it's cute, and it's all yours if you send me your address.

(No pressure, of course. But I'm totally serious. What better way to be thrifty than to give away the things we no longer need to people who will cherish them? So send me an email if you're interested)

oh, and I am in the process of starting to sell my photos I'm looking at Etsy as a place to market them.

So to RSS your blog here, just scroll down on this page and look on the left hand side for the orange rss symbol. It's below the videos upload box I believe. Click on it and a box will pop up where you enter your blog's URL and some other info. Do that and you should be all set. Good Luck!

Also...have you thought of joining the 'Gift for thrift' group...It seem like a good fit for ya!

I try to post a new pair of shoes, but if my budget doesn't allow that then I post something cool about shoes. I think those red ones fall into your under $20 category, right? =^)

At 12:37pm on November 8th, 2007, The Cheap Chick said…: Thanks for reading! And in case you were wondering, the first comment made on the post you read about Vaseline was posted by my best friend's husband (El Jefe). Oddly enough, he is a devoted reader.

At 8:35am on November 8th, 2007, The Cheap Chick said…: Thanks! And if you have any under $20 deals to share, please leave a comment. Share the wealth... or rather, the cheapness!
