Frugal is Fun!

As I think I have mentioned before, I am very sensible with my money — I need to be, I have never been ‘well off’ in my life, not that I am poor either — not by any means, but I need to be careful and think about every penny I spend.

One great way of saving money is by shopping around online. I never see something I want or need and just buy it at the place I come across — I use price comparison sites, I check for available coupons and even set up Price Alerts and bide my time if and when it’s not an urgent buy.

One site that offers this feature is the aptly named Price Drop Alert, it really couldn’t be simpler — you just search for your desired product and add it on to your watch list, then enter your email address, they then regularly search 100s of online retailers and when your item comes in stock somewhere at a cheaper price you’ll get an email about it right away :)

I actually find this quite a fun thing to do, which probably makes me lame, but I look forward to getting the emails and get excited whenever I see one pop up — wondering which item it’s going to be for this time :)
