Frugalista Mommy - Lesson # 1

Lesson # 1 - Veer off of the beaten path. I often find amazing deals and worthy finds in unexpected places. Gift shops, thrift stores, ethnic markets, dollar stores, the list goes on and on. A hotel chain was changing hands across the street from my office a few months back. During the renovation the gift shop was liquidating their inventory quietly. I picked up a Burt's Bees lip balm set for $1.99, that made me smile.
