Shoestring Magazine Combines Wit and Thrift with Amazing Results

Being from Southern Maine (or Northern Boston as my dad likes to say), I can tell you a few things about New England folks: we’re incredibly friendly, got a sassy sense of humor and we’re “wicked cheap.”

That’s right. We like to save a buck wherever we can.

But that doesn’t mean we’re schlepping around in holey jeans and old flannels either; I’ve got lots of friends with closets full of designer duds – they just didn’t pay full price for them.

Looking for a way to get your inner Boston-babe on and be thrifty while still looking good and maintaining a happy, healthy, and adorable household? Check out Shoestring Magazine. This online publication oozes with the perfect blend of wittiness and thriftiness – so much so that even the most frivolous of spenders will be smitten.

Covering everything from wallet-friendly wines and 365 outfits for $365 (total) to making your own pet food to reduce your vet bills and Mad Men inspired DIY decorating projects, this is a one-stop wonder that will please anyone’s taste buds.
