Video Answer: Biggest Non Frugal Splurge & Best Tip

Here is my first ever “Video Response” (ie VR) to reader’s questions!

Those of you reading this via Email Subscription-just click through to the Video Answer Post to see the video.

I actually filmed a 28 min long segment with answers to about 6 different questions-I had to chop it up to make it more digestible! I’ll be posting one every few days. . . so if you asked a question and didn’t see it answered here, don’t worry-there is more!

It was a lot of fun to make this, so I’d love to do more (except I’ll plan on just one answer at a time next time!) Just ask a question using my contact form. . .

    Loved It!!! (high pitched voice)
    Thanks for giving me a great answer, I loved the triangle and wrote it down. I am at a turning point for several things and I believe this philosophy could actually help me in breaking down decisions I make with my funds!!!

    Thanks Jen – loved the video (makes me miss you more!).

    I’m all for more video responses! Maybe you should make it a weekly thing?

    I also enjoyed the video and will use the triangle principle.

    Regarding your splurge on the dress, I first learned about Coldwater Creek when you did a video trying on some of their clothes quite a long time ago. Since then I’ve found some frugal deals in their outlet. The customer reviews sometimes help me determine why the items might be marked down. If it’s because people are finding that they run long, that is great for me because I’m tall. I find that it’s best to monitor the deals by subscribing to the e-mails from CC. Occasionally, the prices have been outstanding. Right now they are offering 30% off on everything in the outlet and free shipping on orders of over $100 .

    How fun to see and hear you! I LOVE Caldwater Creek (And Christopher & Banks) and do tend to look at their sales or outlet for my “one good” outfit (I discussed this in a post this week) Happily we have an outlet nearby and I’ve found some decent stuff on clearance over the years. But, I too, have had my “splurge” there on a jacket a wore to death in the 90s!!!!!
