bargain hunter makes debut appearance online, feel free to join the pack

Pinch your pennies and tighten your belts as we usher an era of austerity. Conspicuous consumption is a thing of the past, and now is the time to spend every dollar as if it were your last. Woe to the unfortunate souls who live in places where survival costs an arm and a leg. So how are we San Diegans coping?

Some resort to shunning the existence of restaurants and retail outlets while professing utmost devotion to the nearest Walmart. While Walmart deserves bragging rights to the best deals in town, it certainly isn’t the only place to spend money wisely. Where’s the fun in that?

Off the beaten path of frugal consumption are deals and steals in the most unlikely places. The time is ripe to unleash the power of my predatory instincts as a bargain hunter hailing from a rare breed of have-nots. Hiiiyaaahh!

So follow the journey of this insignificant speck in cyberspace as she tries to live creatively on a tight budget in the heart of quintessential California, where the cost of living is a whopping 45% above the national average.

Happy Saving, SD! And remember, we have-nots have!
