You Tell Me: What Questions Would You Like to Ask?

by Lynnae on April 24, 2009 · 8 comments

On the next episode of Frugal Coast2Coast, Jenn and I are going to be answering questions from our readers and listeners. So if you’ve ever wanted to ask a question about finances or frugality or our backgrounds, now is your chance!

I also like to get a feel for questions my readers might have, because it helps me come up with post topics.

So, if you have a question you’d love to hear us answer, ask it in the comments. If we use your question on the air, we’ll mention your name and website (if you have one), and I’ll list the questions along with your website in the show notes on FrugalCoast2Coast.com.

And then make sure you listen to Frugal Coast2Coast to hear all the answers!

Be Sociable, Share!

1 Zoie April 24, 2009 at 6:20 am: How do you come up with different ideas for meal plans? I’m not much of a cook and I don’t really like cooking. I end up cooking the same 12 dishes since I know those and haven’t messed them up. I have a 9 month old and need recipes that aren’t too involved since my son can get really crabby.

Thanks

I’m paying off the other one next week, so I’m closer to being credit-card free (haven’t ever used them – transferred balance from my only card to these two for the interest-free rate)!!!!

Reading your blog everyday has really helped me with staying focused with my own goals (keeping my second job until my credit cards are paid off!).

Thank you very much!!
3 cheap cindy April 24, 2009 at 12:09 pm: Okay, here’s a frugal cooking question for ya:

I’ve found that cooking with beans is a great way to make meals cheap. I would love to use dried beans instead of canned because they are less expensive and more nutritious, however it seems in addition to soaking them over night I have to cook them twice to get them soft. Is there a secret to cooking dried beans quicker?

Thanks!

1) What was the turning point, when you decided to live frugally?
2) Is the renewed interest in frugality a temporary or long-term trend?
3) What is your best ever frugal idea or tip?

Thanks!

7 Servant April 25, 2009 at 7:37 am: If you didn’t HAVE to be frugal, would you be? I suppose I wonder about the “mindset” of it all…living frugally because it’s the right thing to do, you know?

Seems to me that when living sensibly with our money becomes our paradigm, then spending choices can’t help but line up.
