About

The Mission

This blog exists to develop a community of frugal minded folks with a common goal of learning how to live in a way that benefits our families, our communities, and selfishly, ourselves.


Being frugal is a commitment to a life-style where I make myself aware of my financial, time, and family resources. We are only given so much during our time, and we must learn how to take advantage of these opportunities.

Where does the name come from?

The name, A Frugal Reality, comes from the concept of virtual reality. Like experiencing a virtual reality, living in a frugal reality means seeing the world from an entirely different lens. You learn to look at everything as a resource and opportunity.
