Redefine fun: Redefining fun is a vital part of frugality. You become more aware of the costs involved in your choices. Your community offers many free activities. You can often find where to go and what to do on the bulletin board at your local library, by calling your chamber of commerce or in your newspaper. You’ll often find coupons or free passes for local events at your grocery store, too. Find out whether there’s a Newcomers club. You don’t have to be new to your neighborhood to participate.
