Cheapness Studies: April 2010
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 22, 2010. How neurosis promotes cheapness. For a while now, I'd noticed that my cuticles are a mess. I'm not sure what one does about this (there are such things as cuticle oils, sticks, and nippers, none of which I'd know what to do with), so I decided to get a manicure, what would have been, I think, my fourth ever. Then I googled 'manicure hepatitis.' Saved: $12. Unlike the PhD students one so often. Reads about, who are convinced that after graduation they will have amazing jobs, I re...

Cheapness Studies: Counting pennies in public
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010/05/counting-pennies-in-public.html
Sunday, May 2, 2010. Counting pennies in public. This week's Complaint Box. Is about the annoyance of not getting change in full. When I got to the part where the writer, Steven Jay Weisz, mentions "several bloggers who have posted" on establishments withholding pennies, I was reminded that I'd done. No, you're not "the only one cheap enough to complain about it," just the only one to get the message out to a wider audience. We, the Cheap, demand our pennies! It strikes me as very. Unlikely he's never on...

Cheapness Studies: February 2010
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. The Cheapness Studies Guide to Tribeca. Of all the posh Manhattan neighborhoods, Tribeca has a way of out-poshing them all. Sure, the Upper East Side has its socialites, but it also has recent college grads living far from the subway, its fallen-aristocrat types in inherited apartments, etc., etc. The Upper West Side? Wealthy people schlepping around so many plastic bags you'd never guess their apartments were worth that. Pricey but filthy. West Village? So fear not, frugal vis...

Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Oh much-neglected Cheapness Studies blog, what can I offer? Lately I've been all over the place, cheapness-wise - hopeless in terms of shoe purchases.

Cheapness Studies: There's always a catch
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010/04/theres-always-catch.html
Tuesday, April 6, 2010. There's always a catch. In NY, food establishments can only meet two of the following three criteria: cheap, delicious, and comfortable. By "comfortable" I mean a number of things, but mostly chairs or benches rather than barstools, at least a hint of space between you and your neighbor, and no seats where you're perched on a stool, facing the street, during your meal. So what's the answer? More compact food items? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 8593; Grab This.

Cheapness Studies: Context is everything
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010/04/context-is-everything.html
Friday, April 16, 2010. I'd been feeling a bit guilty about having bought a totally unneeded pair of boots. In Arizona. Sure, they were $21, but I'd just bought silver clogs, and there was really no way to justify this additional purchase. It thus made me feel slightly. Labels: dreaming of peddling.

Cheapness Studies: Recipes overanalyzed
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010/03/recipes-overanalyzed.html
Monday, March 29, 2010. Let me be clear. I say this as someone who bases many meals on pasta and even a good number on legumes, but are these. Not the most depressing, dreary-sounding (Puritanical? Yes, we've all heard a thousand times that no one's so poor as to need. To eat fast food, because OMG lentils. Haven't The Poor heard of lentils? That "budget" recipes include ingredients other than. Beans Who would have the audacity to include olive oil in a recipe meant to be inexpensive? And not white beans.

Cheapness Studies: Micromicromicroeconomics
http://cheapness-studies.blogspot.com/2010/03/micromicromicroeconomics.html
Wednesday, March 24, 2010. Perhaps the staff at a certain coffee place. Decided that it was more annoying to dig up all those pennies than it was fun to make customers feel stingy for wanting even the tiniest bit of change. The iced coffee at this mini-chain is now, alert the presses, $2.50. If it hits $2.51, it's thermos time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 8593; Grab This. Nobody Sasses a Girl in Glasses.
