Thrifty Penny Week

Kindly sponsored by

I like Lent. Surrendering the delight of something dear only sweetens a more moderate reunion.


In honor of Lent two thousand + eleven I have selected a spending fast.  Meaning, in addition to other extras, I refrain from the purchase of clothing for Missus, Mister, Little Miss, and Tiny Mister for a minimum of forty days. 

Even in case of emergencies (such as Baby Boyfriends approaching Baby Blessing), we must borrow, trade, or remake.  

Sun Forever Dress, $34.99

And according to the official spending fast handbook, winning is also an acceptable means of maintaining Lent.

Therefore, I encourage you to win the DownEast New Arrival of your choice in time for Easter, without disturbing your nest egg:
