How *CHEAP* Are You?
| Mon, 05-05-2008 - 7:52pm |
We all do things to save a couple of pennies.....
With the rising cost of groceries, gas, and everything else I thought it would be fun (and even funny) if we all shared one or two things we do that's on the *CHEAP* side!
Here's mine:
~ I try to reuse ziploc bags
~ I drive past several gas stations while on EMPTY to go to one that's 3 cents less

I pack my lunches and snacks every day, too.
What a fun thread!!
I do many of the same things listed already:
Keep the heat at 62-65 degrees
Raise my own veggies and apples to can or freeze and use later
80% of our clothing comes from garage sales and 2nd hand stores
I do the bulk of my grocery shopping at Aldi's and the rest at Walmart.
Your post reminded me that I need to get out and get some herb plants. The prices for fresh herbs at the grocery store is INSANE, so I like to try to grow my own. Last year I had a great pot of basil going, then when we went on vacation my neighbor didn't water it and it died. I was so sad!!
I used to be very cheap but with a demanding job and the fact that I'm making more money I have slacked off a little.
I think the biggest way that I'm cheap is that I HATE paying for food when I could have made it at home.
