Frugal For Life

Welcome to the Festival of Frugality, I aim to pull together a mix of posts that, convey to me, what frugality is. This is week 49, which means that it has been going on for almost 1 year, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Number 49 isn’t a bad number either….

Forty-nine is—–
The square of 7
The atomic number of indium
The number of strings on a harp
The designation for a US interstate highway in Louisiana
The State: Alaska
Roman numeral: XLIXA
