Fru Gal vs. $teal - Mint

So, Fru Gal was featured in the Red Eye again this week.  There is no denying that she has great taste.  I commend her on the fashions she finds, but not so much the prices of them. 

frugal: fru·gal  adj.

1. Practicing or marked by economy, as in the expenditure of money or the use

of material resources. 2. Costing little; inexpensive

I guess this is all relative...
