In defense of The Frugal Corner

[timtillman]

I am a scout leader in Florida, and for the second year our district has put on a Highland Games weekend under the direction of a NWC competitor.

Two years ago, I entered the kilted community, completely ignorant of what to expect. I called several companies, but received little if any help or information.

Then I called the Frugal Corner. What a difference! The management of TFC was extremely helpful in getting my troop, boys and adults, outfitted. Although their inventory was limited due to post Saint Patrick's Day, Mark and Mark went out of their way to provide the service, price, and product that we needed.

In some cases, specific tartans were unavailable, we took substitutions from inventory. Specific accessories were unavailable, we were upgraded. Some boys could not afford kilts, TFC helped me help the families in making kilts from plaid flannel material found at our local McWal-Mart.

The district is making the highland games weekend a regular event for the foreseeable future. I am certainly going to stick with TFC as the prefered supplier of outfits for my troop.

Communication, communication communication!

I'll be dealing with Frugal Corner again soon. I need some cloth to match my FC Macpherson kilt.

My experiences with Frugal Corner have, so far, been positive.
My best suggestion, when dealing with them, is to contact them directly (phone or email) before placing an order.

and it is always good to hear when a company goes above and beyond the norm to help their customers
