Would you like to squeeze a buck until George Washington hollers for mercy?
If so, surf on over to About.com's Frugal Living site - http://frugalliving.about.com.
Pat Veretto, the site's host, has gathered reams of information on how you can become a legendary tightwad for fun and profit.
Recent advice includes tips on saving gasoline, getting free food, planning an inexpensive vacation and saving for college.
Take, for example, a list of 20 tips for restaurant dining in frugal style, which includes suggestions for splitting large entrees, aggressively seeking discounts and looking for inexpensive ethnic restaurants.
Frugal Living frequently features a message board where users can ask questions and exchange their favorite tips. An e-mail newsletter makes it easy to keep up with timely tightwad topics.
And, oh yeah, the site is free.
