Meet Jessamyn. For the past 22 years, she’s been having a love affair with eating, drinking, and the art of being merry. She is constantly looking for an opportunity (or excuse, depending on how you choose to look at it) to cook or buy something. However, while Jessamyn loves to acquire new items and cook/create new recipes, she does not enjoy spending money. Therefore, she does what the average college student would not dream of: buy groceries and cook her own meals from scratch. Jessamyn is also a certified yard sale fanatic, spending every peak season* Saturday morning perusing yard sales in the area surrounding her home. Jessamyn wishes all college students would realize the many opportunities to be gained by cracking open a cookbook, or waking up before the sun rises to go yard saling. She hopes that The Frugal Student will, in an unpretentious manner, wake the masses and (somehow) start a cooking and shopping revolution.
