I got together with my Frugal-BFF this weekend for coffee. It’s the first time we’ve gotten together to talk about this blog since I started it a week ago. As we sat with hot cups of coffee in hand this is the discussion we had:
Frugal-BFF: Love your blog. I think you need to up the stakes, though.
Frugal-Gal: Up the stakes?
BFF: Yeah, just imagine with me: Extreme makeover Frugal-Gal edition.
FG: So I call up yummy Ty Pennington and tell him: HELP! I need a debt intervention?
BFF: I was thinking we capture all of your heartbreaking moments on video: you - walking by a Starbucks with your hands empty and a grief stricken look on your face. Another shot of you slowly driving by Nordstrom and looking into your empty wallet. We’ll pull at the heartstrings of every American. Then we’ll show you budgeting and cooking at home, making your own lattes, and shopping in the clearance sections. We’ll pitch it as a show
FG: My own TV show. ..do you think I’ll get a new wardrobe? A hair and make-up person? FREE STUFF??!?!
BFF: Maybe, or you might just help people?
FG: I’ll do it. Let’s get right on it.
(Pause)
BFF: One more cup of coffee first?
FG: Done.
