frugality: a mantra

Sometimes the frugal side of me really shows. I wouldn't say I'm cheap but I will always seem to question a marked price, the initial offer. In the age of froogle, pricegrabber and the likes, why would you buy something without a little research. The information superhighway has brought the market for all goods at your finger tips. No longer can the lack of information be an excuse to have overpaid for something. Splurge, but splurge wisely I say.
