They are young and think that if they want it, we can buy it, but they are starting to catch on!Gibbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04271264528110884129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993875912325356887.post-63079377509458584142009-03-31T13:27:00.000-07:002009-03-31T13:27:00.000-07:00Absolutely!

The concept of "if I spend it now, I won't have it later" is imperative for food and basic living. Of course cook at home - it's healthier AND cheaper. Of course go to goodwill/thrift stores - the bargains are mindblowing. And the biggie - want vs need! We truly NEED so little to be happy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993875912325356887.post-17382782016433635512009-03-30T18:19:00.000-07:002009-03-30T18:19:00.000-07:00Good post....my computer was slow in starting, som...Good post....my computer was slow in starting, something about needing to update, so I threw it away and bought a new one so I could read your post. I put the old computer with the other 6 I discarded for the same reason. Then I think I will pay someone $50 a month to store them for me. How is my frugality?<BR/>;0) Love you and your posts!Amy is a survivor!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14392654519201320458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1993875912325356887.post-21874828947710544052009-03-30T16:27:00.000-07:002009-03-30T16:27:00.000-07:00I completely agree with you Angie!

Let's see four ways I wear my frugal hat, hopefully I can copy one or two from you! <BR/><BR/>1) I discuss with both our kids "want" vs. "need" to help them save their hard earned $$.<BR/><BR/>2) We take the kids grocery shopping with a pre-made list, coupons and we hunt down sale items. <BR/><BR/>3) We rarely eat out as well, but when we do, I try to use coupons or go early for the specials. Same goes for entertainment - we go to AMC early on the weekends so we only pay $5/ticket.<BR/><BR/>4) I register for restaurants/retailers email lists so we receive notification of sales and coupons.<BR/><BR/>Great post as always!<BR/><BR/>Julie - http://www.freebirthdaytreats.comJulie Northrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13413934890987215668noreply@blogger.com
