And So We Begin

It's finally here, the great big blog unveiling!  I've been dreaming/thinking/talking about creating a blog for awhile now and finally took the plunge.  So here it is, a glimpse inside my life and the millions of things I have going on, all the while on a budget. 

Let me start by saying my life is one giant to-do list.  I'm trying to pack 48 hours worth of stuff into a 24 hour period.  For every one thing I cross off my list, though, I usually add about 10 more.  So it's no surprise that when I sat down and tried to come up with one central thing to blog about, I couldn't do it.  I'm always thinking up some new project, researching new places to travel, finding new recipes, etc., etc., etc.  But, one thing I found in all my obsessions was the central theme of using coupons, saving money, and bargain hunting. 

These days, coupons are all the rage and using them isn't uncool; it's real life and it's necessary.  No, I'm not rich, but yes, I do lead a rich life.  I do the things I want to do, I go the places I want to go.  I literally want to do it all, and that's what I strive to do.  I shop, I spend, I save.

And so, in the middle of an October snowstorm in good old New England, The Daily Cheap was born.  I hope this blog teaches people how to save money on everything from food to fashion, and how to incorporate thrift store finds and designs into their every day.  I hope it inspires people to do whatever it is they have on their list - to take that trip, finish that project, buy that thing you've always wanted - because it CAN be done, even on a budget.  

Cross something off your list today!
