One of the best things we can do is SPEND less and use and consume less. This is not only fiscally smart, but environmentally smart, too.
So in the spirit of starving the beast, I have collected as many links to frugality websites as I could find. I DID check all of these out, I didn't just google them and copy and paste the link. Some are better than others, but I left any real dogs out. Bookmark your favorites!
