The Frugal Lifestyle

Entertainment and social events are available on the cheap! Check out Meetup.com for your area. Even if I don't often attend a meetup, I get a lot information about local events and areas through that website.

Mother nature is free, hiking, biking, walking, fishing, bird watching, geocaching, and picnicking! I also join up with others for volunteer work in my community and the Portland area.

I rarely pay for anything other than gas, park passes, and my fishing license/gear.

For home repairs/upgrades, I always check at Portland's Rebuilding Center, before I head to Home Depot. I can find nearly everything I need there, at ridiculously low prices, and sometimes things that I would never find anywhere else (or never thought of). If you are a homeowner, I absolutely recommend looking to see if you have something like this locally.
