Thrift is the New Rich*

If anybody has found their way to my blog via the interview this morning on BBC Radio Essex - hi, and I hope you can find something useful for you here.

There are loads of thrifty blogs out there and here are a list of the best one's I've come across - these people can really inspire anyone to be thrifty.

www.catzscorner.blogspot.com - another thrifty Essex person.

www.notesfromthefrugaltrenches.com - a very inspirational twenty-something's down-shifting journey

www.reactivecooking.com - does exactly what it says on the tag line - 'don't bin it, cook it.'  Great inspirational recipes for using up left-over food.

www.down---to---earth.blogspot.com - probably THE best down-shifting / simplicity blog out there.  Full of wonderful ideas and tips.

www.apronthriftgirl.typepad.com - wonderfully inspirational thrifting from the US.  *And the author of the line 'Thrift is the New Rich' - how very true that is.

And, finally, if you want some fabulous tips on saving money try and get hold of the book 'The Complete Tightwad Gazette' by Amy Dacyczyn - a truly life-changing and inspirational book.

Hi Elizabeth!

I can't believe it but the painkillers I am taking knocked me out and I missed your radio interview! I am so disappointed! I tried to download the podcast online but only the first 30 mins had been added, then I emailed the radio station (see I really did try :) they replied that the engineer wouldn't be in until Monday by which time the podcast would be deleted ready for the next prog! they did wish me better though! lol!

Hope it all went well - you must tell us about it, what did they ask?

Thanks for the mention and all the lovely links!
