    Default Hello from Central Cali!

    How did you hear about frugal village?
    A Google search for cheap meal ideas.

    What interests you here?
    I recently read an old copy of Your Money or Your Life which has really lit a fire under me as far as being frugal goes.

    What will you contribute?
    Recipes, encouragement, hopefully a success story!

    Do you know any other members here?
    Not that I know of.

    How many kids? Ages?
    Two girls, ages 3 and 19 months

    Tell us about yourself.
    I'm a freelance web writer, married to a graphic designer. We live in what may be the most reasonable area in California, near Fresno. We long to move South, but it's too expensive at this point in time. I work from home, and am doing all I can to balance the books and make things stretch.

    Do you own any pets?
    One black kitty.

    Occupation?
    Freelance writer

    Married or single?
    Married.

    Interests and hobbies?
    Reading, movies, getting organized, spirituality/new thought, creativity

    No way,....I was actually born there too!!

    My grandparents lived there all my life, so we visited often, I feel like I grew up there, cause I was there all the time. I lived up and down the an Juaquian valley till I was 12 and we moved to Olympia, WA. I knew my hubby as a kid in Merced..I lived there from 79-82. We got married in 92, lived in Merced/Los Banos till we moved to the midwest in 96. We lived in Chico for a few years too. like 03-05.....sorry, but I cannot STAND CA, and while hubby keeps trying to go back, I keep trying to keep us out!!

    I'm 38, how old is your dh? I wonder if our paths ever crossed?

    Are you near Vons? do they still double? how I miss Trader Joes!

    Here's another book to read:
    The Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dycyzyn....or something like that

    Well howdy from one newbie to another. I grew up in Chicago, the oldest of 5 girls with a stay at home mom...so we knew frugal but still enjoyed life. Thanks to that upringing it isn't hard for me to cut back when needed. I joined Fvillage because I need support to keep me on the straight and narrow. I had already paid off my credit card once this year and ran it up quickly with "emotional" purchases.

    Nice to meet you!
