I’m not exactly a frugal person.
With every passing month I look at my bank balance, trying to figure out how exactly I manage to spend my hard-earned clams so quickly.
My not-so desirable talent for spending money is one Ilona Richards (the world’s stingiest woman) wouldn’t understand. I mean, if only she knew I spent $13 on a roast chicken focaccia about half an hour ago… or that last night I spent $89 on two makeup brushes… or that I regularly choose to add more items to my online shopping cart so I can reach a transaction threshold and claim free shipping.
I know – I know – I’m pathetic. But I have faith that Richards’ tips will SAVE ME, you guys.
Richards, a pensioner from the UK, has seen her fame sky-rocket this year after word of her incredibly thrifty lifestyle erupted on the internet (she calls herself a “superscrimper” on her blog Life After Money – My brilliant life on a pension).

I understand why she would wear mens underpants,,, but the rest phooy I hate stingy Its on the top of my list of hate, the others are liers users backstabers an stealers,, oh an pretenders the ones that pretend to be good people when they are the exact opposite you soon find them out :)
The point is she only has a little to live on.Those posters giving her a hard time obviously havent had to live on a pension or tried to live on newstart
She's managing on around $95 per week. Anyone having a go at her for using unconventional methods, is exhibiting a less-than charitable side of themselves.
The most extraordinary thing about Ms. Richards is her positive and determined attitude; she's kind of creative and cheerily stoic. I couldn't do it but I respect her that she can.
