Definition of a Recessionista according to the Washington Post

Frugal living is the new glamorous -- haven't you heard? The haves have finally been granted access to the one club the have-nots had owned exclusively, and they've turned it into a fabulous party. Enter the "recessionista." Whereas a year ago this person may have attended the gala du jour in a brand new designer frock, she's now wearing one recycled from the back of her closet. She is learning to cook at home -- maybe even from vintage Depression-era recipes! And she's conspicuous about her non-conspicuous, discount-store, coupon-carrying consumption. She's a cousin, perhaps, to the type of person who totes a "This is Not a Plastic Bag" bag, except that, rather than crusading sanctimoniously for the environment, she's crusading for her own cultural relevance.

Saving money takes research and time, something we don't always have available and that is where "The Recessionista (UK)" comes in! With many friends and family either drowning in a sea of debt, losing their jobs or just finding it difficult to support their families, I thought it a good idea to catalogue all my money saving ideas and research new ones, on this Blog to help you.

"The Recessionista (UK)" is a Mum of 4 trying to survive the Credit Crunch as best she can, she has swapped net-a-porter for asos and hopes to show you that you can do it too!
