Fantastic suggestions!! Have to agree that The Body Shop's Satsuma line is terrific! Also agree that thrifty shopping is really great, and you can actually turn it into sort of a fun little hobby. It helps to view it that way, instead of focusing on hardship. I have come to enjoy seeing how much money I can save our family budget. Two additional suggestions to add: 1) Craigslist! I have gotten many great deals using this site. 2) if you love glossy magazines but can't splurge on the subscription price (the comment about getting Oprah's magazine made me think of this) check out your local public library. Most libraries let you check out magazines and I've been surprised to find what a wide range they have. Also, my local library has a second hand book and magazine shop to raise money. They sell donated magazines for, like, 20 cents each or something like that. Just pennies.
