I love my new phone!

Perhaps you are wondering what buying a new mobile phone has to do with frugal living in Australia?

Well I just love my new Samsung Galaxy

It has saved me heaps of cash already.

I no longer need to buy a geographic positioning system (a gps), a camera, a video camera, alarm clock, an FM radio or an MP3 player.

I can even make phone calls! (It works fine in rural Australia)

Its Google friendly, "powered by Android" , I can access  Google Search,  Gmail, Google Maps, Googl+, calender and Youtube while I am on the road.

It adds a new and profitable dimension to going to garage sales, I can check the ebay or amazon price of a potential bargain before buying it for later sale online,

At just 115 grams, it helps me really travel light and save a heap on excess  baggage charges. Only one rechargeable battery to keep charged. Only one manual to read,

I found the GPS really invaluable when we were moving house  moving house. from the city recently.

The Samsung Galaxy really is something no frugal and adventurous Aussie Pinay can do without!
