New To The Forums
I'd just like to say that I'm happy that the forums have been opened up. Although I'm new to posting here, I have written a number of articles on saving money that have been posted on this site in the
Frugal Money saving Section
My name is Jeffrey Strain and I currently live in Japan although I will be returning back to the US soon. If you know the prices in Japan, you'll know why I started to learn how to save. That turned into a lot of freelance work writing for magazines in Japan to help foreigners living here to save money.
I'm always on the lookout for fun and unique ways to save money. I like to think of it as a game which seems to make it a lot easier for me.
I look forward to having the opportunity to read more here and hope I can add a few posts now and again that can help others

Welcome to the village, Jeffrey! I also like to think of money saving as a game (even when it is a necessity.) As long as you play, you win! I look forward to reading more of your posts.
My cousin and her family just moved back from Japan a few years ago. She always tells us about the ridiculous prices of everything there.

Welcome Jeffery. I use to have a pen pal that lived in Japan while her husband was in service and she would send me resturant menus. I about died when I saw how much a small pizza was. Anyway, enjoy your time at Frugal Village and keep up the great work on all your articles and tips.
