Frugal != Cheapskate
Although I’m sure you will read otherwise, and I know a lot of frugal persons really hold on to and embrace their ‘cheapskate’ titles, frugality is not always a sign of being cheap.
There are a lot of ideas and tips out there that not only will save you money but are good for the environment as well. Take fabric softener for instance (I mention in only because my dead phone still has a lingering fresh scent), it’s not really good for you, but it’s also not good for the environment. Here’s why. But did you know that there are cheaper alternatives? Did you know that plain old vinegar works just as well? That’s not al. That’s hardly the tip of the iceburg!
So, for the love of all those eco-friendly, frugalist, wannabes - here’s a list of sites to frequent. Please keep in mind that while frugal does not always equal cheapskate… frugal does not always mean the most eco-friendly choice either. Use your best judgment.

Is it feasible that your writers would be willing to show us commoners how exactly they always make entries of such impressive calibre? Heck, even the title Urban Ecoist » Blog Archive » Frugal != Cheapskate moves me most deeply.
