Albertsons at the 2011 Frugal Festival
Myke wrote in with an important question!
Are we going to have any type of Frugal Fest this year in the Los Angeles area? I really had a great time last year and was looking forward to one this year. We also want to meet the newest frugal member. Keep cool.
Thanks for asking, Myke! I remember meeting you at last year’s Frugal Festival in Los Angeles. Sadly, there will not be a Frugal Festival this year. I had a baby in January and spending time with her is my top priority. I’m back to work about 10-15 hours a week, thanks to our wonderful babysitter and Lucy’s generous nap schedule. But that doesn’t leave time to plan – and improve upon – last year’s Fest. Maybe in 2013?!

Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I will miss it, how about a fall frugal fest?
Take time with your baby and enjoy her this year. There’s always next year. We can wait until then.
Let me know if you’ll need some help putting one on here. I’d be happy to pitch in.
I approve of your choice, but will also miss the annual celebration. You can count on me, as usual, to be one of your volunteers in 2013! We all look forward to meeting Lucy!
It’s nice to see how much Bargain Babe readers love the Frugal Fest! Planning an event like FF is an enormous undertaking, but hopefully there is another on in our future.
Cherish the babe.
Love,
you NY sis
I was just thinking about this the other day. Too funny. FF is so popular!
