I’m not the kind of person that usually looks forward to a big corporation like Amazon Australia entering the market. I’m one of those people that likes to support the small guy. I refuse to buy milk for $1 a litre from the big guys, because I can see that the intention is to […]
This week I was a Flawed Consumer by buying something that I don’t necessarily need. That something is a pair of shiny new 6 inch premium Timberland boots. Not only are they shiny as hell, but they’re comfy as hell and look pretty damn fine too. And, the best bit is that they were cheap […]
Promo codes are great. In fact, promo codes are brilliant. Promo codes are pretty much a financial freedom seeking frugal-ist’s dream. I don’t buy anything online without first checking for a relevant promo code. I don’t manage to find one 100% of the time. However, I probably have success 80% of the time. […]
Other than specials and promo codes, the best way to save money when shopping is to buy in bulk. As I mentioned in my post about cutting out takeaway costs by making batches of freezable dinners for lazy dinner nights, bulk is usually only cost effective if you don’t switch on an extra fridge/freezer to […]
I’m guilty of buying takeaway when I can’t be bothered to cook. But, takeaway is not cheap food, especially if you only get one meal out of it. Before becoming TFC, I would get takeaway for dinner every Friday night. Most of the time this would be pizza, sometimes Thai or Indian. This cost […]

So, I haven’t traditionally sought out cheap travel or been thrifty with money […]
Have you ever had one of those days at work where you just want to walk away? Maybe you don’t get promoted simply because you haven’t been around for as long? Maybe a bunch of clients treated you like shit because they were having a bad day? Or, maybe you’re organisation goes through a restructure […]
*This post may contain affiliate links. Ok, so I openly admit that I was rather hesitant to try Uber. The idea of using something that was unregulated in my State made the lawyer in me nervous. In fact, I was adamant that I wouldn’t use Uber until it was fully legal and regulated in Queensland. […]
As a new adoptee of a thrifty lifestyle, I have a confession to make… Eight weeks ago I spent $39 on a brand new Lonely Planet Guide about Western Europe. In my mind, I needed a last big “hoorah” trip before settling down and having kids. And Europe was to be it. To date, […]
As I sit down to write this blog entry this evening, one thing is making me very happy. I am currently sitting in the light of two down lights that are now only consuming 14 watts by being on, instead of the inefficient 100 watts that they were drawing less than two weeks ago. […]
