After just a few days into my new adventure of blogging, a good friend of mine sends me a link to a hilarious article that I just had to share with you all.
Apparently, a woman and her roomies hustled men through Match.com to get free extravagant dinners. It was so extreme that they needed to put together a spreadsheet. Now that's a serious dining business.
If a fancy dinner with a creepy stranger sounds fun, please read the article:

The article definitely beats my "French Faire on a budget," but if you would rather enjoy a good dinner with good friends, please continue to read my blogs.
I will continue to post tips and funny links on my page. Feel free to comment and share any fabulous frugal tips you have and want to see posted on my blog.
~Cheers!

French Faire on a budget
Have you always wanted to eat at a great French Restaurant, but not break the bank. Here is a great tip on how to spend less then $50 a person and be able to indulge in a nine course meal.
Two weeks ago my girls and I were in Las Vegas for a milestone Birthday. The Fabulous Birthday girl planned a French dinner at Comme Ca at the Cosmopolitan. When we sat down and looked at the menu, I saw double digits for every item. I looked in my wallet and gasped-there goes my casino winnings. However, surprisingly we were able to order everything we desired on the menu.
We ordered 9 items and 4 drinks for a grand total of $41 per person. You are probably wondering how we were able to do it, especially in Vegas...Well, here are the items we ordered and how we did it:
We ordered our food and ate Family style. Exactly how you would eat at a Chinese restaurant or similar to tapas in a Spanish setting. We ordered the bone marrow, beef tartar, duck confit, gourmet burger, beef cheek, mussels and pomme frittes, two onion soups and pulled pork. Doesn't that sound like a huge amount of food?! It sure was! By the end of our meal, we were so full our bellys' were bulging from our dresses!

How to live The fabulous lifestyle frugally!
Have you ever wanted to live a fabulous lifestyle, but was unable to because of your financial situation...
I'm a mother of two boys and found that juggling time was only one of the management skills I needed. After having my second child, my fabulous lifestyle took a turn and I went from splurging my disposable income on Louis bags and Vegas getaways to diapers and baby food. I also gave up on my social life because of expensive get togethers. However, it finally dawned on me that I could be a fabulous mom and live fabulously frugal. As a result, I decided to start a blog to share tips on how to live fabulously and frugally so you can keep your extra income and save it for a rainy day!
You're probably thinking-ok she budgeted and anyone can do that. However, it was more like cutting corners, but the smart way. I figured out ways to eat at a 5 star restaurant for less then $50 and get the best deals for whatever you want-within reason.(a wish for a deal on a Porsche will not happen.) Visit my blog and you will find a new hot tip on how to "live fabulously frugally!"
