Hello everybody! Welcome to Frugal Victoria -- a special welcome for those just visiting for the first time, thanks to the Times-Colonist article that ran August 5th.
We've already had some feedback -- including one reader who strongly disagrees that replacing a toilet is too challenging for DIY. What do you think?

Last week, I was contacted by a reporter from the Globe and Mail. The story is up today (if you buy the Globe and Mail, it's in the Life section) and you can read it online: Extreme Frugality: Can you outcheap them all?
Comments are already stacking up online, what do you think? Does the story make frugality seem reasonable or ridiculous? If someone asked you, "What's the most extreme thing you've done to save money?" what would your answer be?

From the Lion Brand Yarn e-newsletter:
