Fun with frugality – a new book review
My latest book review for Rabble.ca.
Thrifty: Living the Frugal Life with Style
(House of Anansi, 2009; $19.95)
I was fortunate enough to be raised in a home where being thrifty was second nature, thanks entirely to the creative talents of my mom. Although we had enough money to buy things new, Mom thrived on finding deals at flea markets, garage sales and church bazaars. My mom was so skilled at repurposing someone else’s old items as cool new treasures, she turned it into a business.
