Innaugural Post

Break a bottle of Trader Joe's champagne (or inexpensive sparkling wine) on the bow of this blog-ship-- this is my first post!

May "My [Last] Two Cents" be an ever-changing, ever-useful resource for you in our efforts to navigate city life on a budget. This blog isn't about tightening your belt for 2009 and hoping 2010 is a better year. It's about bucking the trend of conspicuous consumption, and learning to live well within your means. Look forward to posts on cheap eats, free music, volunteer opportunities, travel deals, inexpensive date suggestions, sales, coupons, personal finance tips, and many more ideas to help you live the good life in Boston and beyond.
