…today starts the series of frugal friday. what is frugal friday, you ask? well, it’s a way for me to tell you what to do, and how to save money, without me having to do it. Ha! Not really. In fact, I need to be a little more frugal in my daily life. I kind of like spending money. Let’s face it, I like nice things. I deserve nice things. But, sometimes, I go overboard. So, I’ve decided that it might be somewhat cathartic to write about it once a week and tell you about little ways that I am saving money for myself. It’s not a big deal, just small things that can make a difference over a long period of time.
so, here’s the first thing I’ve done this week. (I feel like I need a drum roll). I stopped going to the dry cleaners, unless the item says, “dry clean only”. Now, it’s kind of a drag to have to iron shirts, but whatever. It takes about 15 minutes and the result is about the same-ish. I’m a guy, so i’m allowed to be a little wrinkly. 
Anyway, that’s it. It’s not a huge savings, but it will add up over the next 12 months. If I spend $10/week, that’s $520 over a 12 month period. That would buy approximately 52 bottles of Pinot Noir. So, I’m all over it!
Anyway, that’s it. I hope this is helpful to at least one person out there.
I’ll be off shooting a wedding in Pasadena tomorrow, and then Sunday, at the ball park with my son. So, I’ll talk to you folks again on Monday. Have a great weekend. Peace, Love, and Wine.
Cheers,
Jerry Frazier
Weddings in Los Angeles are my life.
