We were interviewed last week by a local tv station and the segment aired tonight. I am glad we had a chance to talk about frugal living to a larger audience. It was fun, although I think we cleaned more than we ever had in our lives before the camera crew showed up! If you cannot view the video on my site, you can also view it on the station’s website.

I saw it on TV tonight, as I live in the same area. I saw the website you were looking at in the video, and said “Hey, I have that website marked as a favorite!” Now I know why! Great job on the saving…how do you manage to save half of your salary? That is awesome!!!
[Reply]
Congratulations! Your house looks great!
[Reply]
That is too cool! I have so much to learn from you!

Oh my goodness this is so very exciting for you!!! Were the kid’s excited?? Your family is beautiful.
[Reply]
Woohoo!! You’re a celebrity! That was a great video, and I love the dress you made from a shirt. Way to spread the word, very timely.

Dang! I couldn’t see it here or on the station’s site. I’m sure it was great and I’m sorry to have missed it!
[Reply]
How awesome was that?! Did they call you to do the segment or?
[Reply]
I wasn’t able to watch the video!! What a bummer! Your family is a great example!
[Reply]
Your famous!!!! Your kids must have been so excited to watch that. Great job!!!

I enjoy your blog. Relatively new reader, but I think it’s great!
What a great interview. And congrats on cutting your grocery bill in half. That’s an awesome final comment in the segment!

Well done! It was nice to put video to all the reading I’ve been doing on your site (I feel I know you even more than I did before). You are a wonderful example of how, with a little extra planning, it can be done! Great job!

I’d love to see the segment, but with our slow dial-up, that won’t happen.
I thought about contacting our local newspaper to see if they would be interested in having someone do a weekly column on creative ways to save money. After all, our city is #3 in the nation for fastest-dying cities. Everyone here is looking to save money because they never know if they are going to have a job in the morning.

How fun! Great job.

You’re such an inspiration and a woman with her priorities in order!

Wow, now I can say I know someone famous!! It’s great to see you guys are doing well! Your tips for living frugally have been really helpful for me. Thank for being willing to share your experiences! We miss you down here. Hope you can come visit soon (or I may just have to make a trip to MD!).

I guess one of the upsides to this poor economy will be more focus on being frugal. Kudos to you and your family. I look forward to reading your posts and have taken advantage of some of your great tips. Now, I am off to make some bread machine pita bread, thanks to your post. My daughters like to make their own pizzas with them. Cheers!

This was a great interview and you all looked relaxed and at ease. I hate being on t.v. My dad was interviewed so many times and they asked me once but I was dragging my feet. They interviewed my son instead and he loved it. I was interviewed once and that was enough for me. You, however, didn’t look nervous at all!
[Reply]
It worked for me tonight. You were all so great! What a beautiful find that headboard was!!!
[Reply]
Congratulations! That was a very nice segment!
[Reply]
Great interview…loved it. Living on half…YES! Definitely.
[Reply]
Great TV segment! I live in the Ft. Meade area (retired army) and have probably passed you at the commisary. Love your blog!
[Reply]
This was so awesome! Way to go guys!

I’m a Military Mama too and I am impressed and inspired that you live on 1/2 of DH paycheck. I am a FPU grad and hearing that you live on 1/2 an income makes me want to do that too. Love your site…so happy I found you!
[Reply]
