Don't confuse "frugal" with "luddite". Computers can be a handy weapon in the "Frugalist arsenal". I bundle my telephone/internet services to get the best deal I can. Use my computer to shop online (which here in Australia is often the best way to source interesting/special fabrics and supplies), it is also a research tool and a money saving device....saves me heaps on petrol and wear and tear on my vehicle. I only visit a few forums of interest and game playing is not my thing...and of course theres the QB...my sanity saver (see no therapy bills
)...and a source of beautiful things to look at, a few laughs and heaps of tips and hints. Oh, and we have solar panels to help keep the electricity costs down.....
