I’m obsessed with getting things for free. If you’re someone who’s spent a significant chunk of his/her life in college and graduate school, you understand the immense pride that comes with resolving never to buy food accessories like ketchup, straws, or plastic forks again. (You can get them for free!) If you’re an athlete, you know that simple pleasures (like going for a run on a beautiful night) are much more enjoyable than complicated, guilt-laced (read: EXPENSIVE) pseudo-pleasures like “retail therapy.” You can truly become much wealthier than you ever thought – simply by measure of things you refuse to buy.

I love blogging about frugal living. I get super excited to share how I can score a sundress for five bucks, feed my cat for free, and manage my coffee addiction with mobile coupons.

Here are ten awesome frugal living blogs I read and want to share with you. Curl up with a cup of coffee this weekend and learn how to save a fortune from the masters.
