Everybody's talking about: Frugal Cool


The recession has barely started and we’ve turned poverty into a lifestyle statement. Gardening is not just popular, its getting younger; cars are all about fuel consumption rather than speed. Fabulous.com has discovered the Frugalistas: “they buy entire outfits for under a tenner, cut their own hair and grow their own food”; On Ellegirl.com, Self-Made Girl shows teens how to make clothes and accessories; readitswapit.co.uk means you need never buy a book again; Junkie Styling tailors second hand clothes; Treehugger has cardboard furniture; Frugaldad.com shows Americans how to get rid of their debt and Real Ale is not just wholesome, it’s also cheap.
