(You may have already noticed the Deals RSS over on my side bar.) Anyway, I’ve always been good at finding deals, so I’ve combined that with my approach to frugal living. I’ve posted a few travel & shopping deals in the past on this blog, but I thought it would be less confusing to just launch a seperate project.

What - you ask - is a frugal bon vivant?
Frugal fru·gal \?frü-g?l\ adjective :  economical in use or expenditure; prudently saving or sparing; not wasteful (synonyms: thrifty)

Bon Vivant bon vi·vant \?bän-v?-?vänt\ noun :  a person who lives luxuriously and enjoys good food and drink. (synonyms: epicurean, foodie, libertine, connoisseur)

The best things in life might not always be free, but they can usually be gotten at a bargain. The Frugal Bon Vivant serves up deals, promo codes, how-tos, and tips on enjoying the good life on a budget. Frugal living since 1981.

There’s my “elevator pitch” so head on over to the Frugal-BonVivant.com and check it out! I’ve scoured the web for deals, so you don’t have to. I’ll be doing a giveaway next week, but shhhh! you didn’t hear it from me. ;)

A few hot deals:

It’s a good week for free music.  Lifehacker had a 773 Free Songs on Amazon post too.  I found a few good ones by Neko Case, Beirut, The Streets, Apples in Stereo and my favorite: Flight of the Conchords – Hurt Feelings.

Apple iTunes
