Sara Noel: Spend a little to save a lot
Sara Noel, who writes the Frugal Village column that appears in The Monroe Evening News and other newspapers across the country, focused her column Sunday on Spend a little to save a lot.
A snippet:
Many frugal folks buy items that pay for themselves over time. For me, this includes compact fluorescent bulbs, a cooler, a cappuccino machine, a battery charger, low-flow shower heads, a rechargeable shaver, a thermos, a TiVo, quality cookware, carpet cleaner and a water cooler, to name a few.
Some of my choices have even lower-cost solutions, such as drinking tap water instead of buying a water cooler, or taking shorter showers, but it’s what works for my family. Today, readers share items that they consider investment purchases.
By the way, even though Sara’s column and web site have a national audience, she lives in Michigan.
