You can get Rotisserie chickens at most grocery stores, and at Sams for between 6 and 8 dollars. While this isn't too expensive for a meal that feeds a whole family, it's even cheaper if you stretch it with some inexpensive ingredients to make enough food to stock the fridge and freezer with what, for the single cook at least, becomes easily a month of food. Buy the biggest chicken you can find (

I have realized of late that, sometime when I wasn't paying attention, I grew old. Not old in the grey hair and ancient wisdom sense of the word. Heavens no. I am only 23, after all. What I mean is that I have somehow become not-a-child. No one asked me if I wanted this. It just was. Just is. I have long passed the age when people look at your foolish mistakes, laugh, shake their heads and say "

I am, in general, a minimalist. I hate clutter, I hate shopping, and I hate having a ton of stuff I don't need. I'm frugal and would rather make do without than make do with too much any day. That being said, I'm also a big believer in buying quality tools for the things that are important to you in life. Travel is definitely something I enjoy, and I've got several "can't live without" items

Make everything last longer Dishwashing soap: Think when you get down to the last few squeezes, you need to buy new soap? Think again. Fill the soap bottle halfway with water and shake it up. The soapy water should work just fine for washing dishes. You'll need to use more of it than you would straight dish soap of course. Lipgloss: When you're down to the dregs of your favorite tube of

Living cheap doesn't have to take the joy out of life. Find cheap or free alternatives to favorite indulgences. Here are some of my favorite happy things, and their budgetized substitutions. Lunch at a cafe with a friend ---------> Packed lunch at a park in nice weather, or in a beautiful public building in bad weather (Universities, large main libraries, museums and legislative buildings are

Sometimes in my life I have a particularly good job, providing me with plenty of money but no time. Sometimes I have no job at all and have lots of time, but am also desperately poor.  At the moment I am in the latter situation. Therefore, I am dedicating a series of posts to the business of being poor...and having a fabulously good time. ----------------------------------------------------

1. Explore Scarritt Bennett, camera in hand. This beautiful university turned chapel and conference center, and the adjacent library offer a great deal of scope for the imagination, fodder for the shutterbug, and quiet nooks for a picnic lunch with a friend. Be sure and visit the gnarled tree by the library. His name is Alfred.2. Find a comfy corner and read away a rainy day at Bookman/Bookwoman

Have you ever met someone whose way of telling things breathes life into the unremarkable? I have a friend like that. She can relate the everyday encounter in a way that leaves the audience wishing that their life were so rich and full. The mind behind Once must belong to just such a person. This isn't a review or a critique, so I'll let story tell itself without recapping it here beyond this: A
