Mr. Kirby from the Kirby on Finance blog gives a fresh insight to the value of being frugal.  In his post, he articulates the fact that our time is just as valuable as saving a few extra bucks.  The basic philosophy of too much of anything is a bad thing holds true in this case.  A compulsive bargain hunter might spend too much time searching for savings that he or she may actually waste time.  And as we all know, time is money in this fast-paced world.  I encourage you to read his article and the rest of his blog!
