Apologies if this has been posted before, but I'm not (yet) an ardent OS'er, so I may have missed it.
Anyway, recommended in The Times this morning (all true OS'ers will be pleased to hear I read it for free as a train leave-behind
) is wisebread.com
It's all about 'living large on a small budget' and divides its posts into personal finance, frugal living, career and income and 'life hacks' (answers to the latter on a poscard, please). Subjects include ways to hustle free drinks and a 'planned strategy' for food leftovers. Of course, I'm probably teaching my grandmother to suck eggs but the site seemed a lot less sack-cloth and ashes / hair shirt than other OS/frugality resources.
I hope it's of use (Jillinoz runs off to stick her head back below the OS parapet)

The 2 second technique is really fab - I know it sounds sad, but I love seeing a pile of neatly folded t-shirts :rotfl:0
