Why?

Ok, listen. Regardless of your politics or personality, at this point you've probably realized that whatever the future might hold, the present is not doing you quite as many favors as you hoped it would. Money is tight across the country, gas is expensive, and nothing is quite as easy as you thought it would be before you struck out on your own.

A lot of the websites on frugal living out there seem to be run by or geared toward people who are already long married, settled down, and raising five kids. For those of us out there who are newly married, living together, or single in an apartment with no children, a lot of that advice doesn't seem to make sense or fit in with the lifestyle we're after. Hand-crocheted doilies make a great cheap gift for someone, but the chances are it isn't you or your friends, and a lot of the advice out there doesn't fit so well for people who want to eat fresh, organic foods, live sustainably, keep up with what's trendy, and still save money.

So here's a blog for younger people who still want to save money, to live on the cheap, and be healthy and happy doing what they believe is right for themselves and world.

About Scrimpalicious

Scrimpalicious is written by Mrs. Scrimp, a 20-something working wife living in Ohio.

Over the last two years, Scrimpalicious has evolved and changed, as these things do. The original focus of the blog was very focused on frugal living and smart housekeeping overall. Over time, Mrs. Scrimp has also started thinking and writing a lot about health, cooking, household management, herbalism, the politics of food freedom, and, above all, self-sufficiency.

So what should you expect from Scrimpalicious? There are recipes, how-tos, links to fun and interesting projects on other pages, occasional product and cookbook reviews, and, well, just about anything that has to do with living a good, healthy life in the middle of what some people call a recession, some people call a depression, and some people call economic recovery.

Think Scrimpalicious is pretty cool?  Never want to miss a post? Become a fan on facebook or follow @scrimpalicious on twitter, and you'll never scrimp alone again.
