Nothing flakey about this

I came upon a cute little button on a frugal post that stated ‘the revolution has begun!” Interest piqued, some quick research revealed this cool (ha ha!) debt reduction/savings strategy.

This idea was widely popularized by a blog on I Paid for This Twice Already in a post from 2007. I love this concept. It’s like the latte factor. You don’t realize how much you could be saving just getting a regular coffee. Or, ya know, making coffee at home. On line ways to earn a little extra is in the works…
