‘Most frugal woman’ in Japan spends RM6.10 a day on food, saves enough to buy three houses by 34

A thrifty, animal-loving Japanese woman has been dubbed “the most frugal girl in the country” after she was able to buy three houses in less than 15 years, and realise her dream of opening a cat café.

In 2019, Saki Tamogami, 37, appeared on the Japanese television programme Happy! Bomby Girl about young women who change their lives through hard work and perseverance.
