You may wonder why I post shopping deals on a frugal site. Isn’t being frugal about NOT SPENDING money?
Or is being frugal about SAVING money when you spend it? Or getting good deals? Or spending less than retail cost?
One definition of frugal is simple and plain and costing little. Another is, being economical with regard to money or food. So I’ll let it up to you, but if you are going to be buying Christmas gifts and you can decrease your Christmas budget by making use of some online shopping scenarios with coupons and rebates, then to me, that is being frugal and economically budget minded! (Now if you don’t need any of these products, and just buy it because it’s a great deal—that might not be frugal!) 🙂
Here is a great example from Passionate Penny Pincher. It uses rebates, cash back, and online codes combined to get a great deal and FREE shipping!
