I have a guest post waiting to appear there too:-) I'll look out for yours. Mine's on finding spicy food. Possibly frugal, possibly not... Does spending 25 euros on spices count as frugal if it lets you eat tasty vegetable curry for 6 months? I guess it must do... now the cupboard is stocked, a saturday morning trip to the market means I can eat healthily for virtually nothing when I want to. .-= Hannah´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.hannahdee.eu/blog/?p=180" rel="nofollow">Le football</a> =-.

The one I'm thinking of gave a value in cents for everything, with the idea that once you added everything up, the value would be quite significant. Well, that’s not it, but it’s a good link!

But I found a few things (quite a few) that I hadn't used in a loooong time. I'd even forgotten I had them! My goal is to only have things in my house that I love and use. But I want those things to be high-quality and worth having! That’s what I thought before I moved. But I found a few things (quite a few) that I hadn’t used in a loooong time.

There are a few, but if you're without a car then they're a bit less practical. I'd be happy to go with you someday! For my non-local readers, ie 99.97% of the people who read Almost Frugal ;), Grenoble Life is a fun blog (in English) about, what else, life in Grenoble, France. Here's the direct link: http://www.grenoblelife.com/ And a guest post I wrote: http://www.grenoblelife.com/frugal-living-in-grenoble-part-i-food/ Hey Hannah,

If there's one thing I don't mind spending money on, it's super luxurious bed linens. Too bad I don't have the money for that right now, but when I do, the stores better watch out! That is a great idea for donating. I wonder what my total would be once I added everything all up. I do have alot of stuff (but I use it all)! That comfortor MUST be really nice, I’m so envious.
