Being Frugal: The Original Sustainability? – Chris Farrell
Friday, August 27th, 2010
Complete video at: fora.tv “Frugality is the opposite of being a cheapskate,” says Chris Farrell, author of The New Frugality.

If you’re thinking about getting rid of your car and buying a bike to save money, there’s no reason you should buy a two-wheeled clunker from Craigslist that needs a trip to the bike shop every other day.
