Retrench!
The Frugal Duchess blog has 5 Frugal Lessons I Learned From Pride and Prejudice. Too bad Lydia and Wickham didn’t have the benefit of this wisdom!
1. Walking is an important and low-cost form of transportation.
Scenario: Elizabeth Bennet wants to visit her sister Jane, who is ill and stranded at a friend’s home about three miles away.
Quote:
“Elizabeth, feeling anxious, was determined to go to her [sister Jane], though the carriage was not to be had; and as she was no horsewoman, walking was her only alternative.”

Thanks so much for the mention.
Jane Austen is one of my favorites. I read and re-read Pride and Prejudice several times a year.
I will visit your blog frequently.
