I've heard that even Queen Elizabeth and Rod Stewart have their frugal side!   QE remakes her ball gowns, using parts from one and adding them to another or changing the sleeves from one style to another, etc etc.   Rod Stewart keeps all his buttons and he mends his socks and worn parts of his shirts......  


What  little frugal thing do you do?

Around here, they really don't want you to take food in.

I know that they want to sell those things, but gee if they could price them competively it would be nice, and they'd sell more and not tempt people from bringing their own.

Well, I haven't ever known a theater to search a purse, but I know if they see something they sell in your purse (like when you're getting out your money or something), they have the right to take it.

I'm a coupon clipper - probably save about 10-15% everytime I shop. I also do a lot of online shoppping and cost comparison.

The other things I do I don't think are necessarily frugal, but ways to be environmentally responsible - and save money in the long run... use plastic grocery bags in small trashcans as garbage bags, reuse ziplock bags that aren't too dirty, handwash dishes instead of running the dishwasher (but not as often as I should, lol), use a clothes line instead of a dryer, ride the bus, etc.
