Frugal Foodie Find!

I've shared another local frugal food find a while back. Snappy Dawgs is a food cart that serves delicious food during the week on the corner of Main St and Fairfield Ave in front of the Fairfield County Courthouse. But I work on Saturdays and they don't come on the weekend. I am partial to restaurants that deliver because I can't afford to close my business to go get lunch. So, one of my customers informed me that Amici Miei delivers too. Well then, I put that on my to-do list. And today I ordered a thin crust pizza from there called "Rurale" and had to share this with you!

It is topped with red sauce, mozzarella, mushrooms (fresh ones not those slimy ones from the can either), and big slices of prosciutto. And get this! With tax, I paid (drum roll.....) $8.50! I gave the delivery girl a $10 and told her to keep the change as her tip. I was in NYC the other day and paid $9 for a panini that wasn't even half the size of this pizza. What a rip off that was! These personal size pizzas are pretty big and a great value. Could easily share among 2 people. And if you live or work in downtown Bridgeport, I suggest having it delivered.

I am a Frugalitarian!

I stumbled upon a site when reading another blog one day, http://www.thefrugalitarian.com. When I read the definition of what a frugalitarian is, "One whose philosophy asserts that life is sweeter and the planet is healthier when we keep it simple, waste nothing and reinvent just about everything," I felt I had been pegged! It might as well have been my personal mission statement! I sent the woman behind the movement, Jodi Olson, a quick email expressing my enthusiasm about her efforts. And within days, she invited me to be a guest on her upcoming live web radio show on http://www.toginet.com that she does every Wednesday (4pm EST). Her weekly show is one hour. So, I was on yesterday's show. During the hour,  Jodi and her co-host  gave many tips on simple ways to save money. It was a blast even though I was nervous. I had to listen to the podcast to remind myself what I said, because it happened so fast. The words were spilling out of my mouth so fast!
