Guest post from Jody: You Might Be Frugal if… You are wearing the same shirt in all your family's vacation pictures - for the past four years. Your family's favorite part about going to Chuck E. Cheese is searching under the machines for stray tokens that other kids have dropped. You plan road trips to hit the Sam's Club and Costco stores at peak sample hours. You tell your mother you are going to take the train to the family reunion, and her first instinct is to gasp and say, "You aren't going to take a boxcar are you?" You go to the grocery store and the employees ask you what the best deals of the week are at their store. You wince to pay full price for something at the thrift store. You don't call a repairman when something breaks, instead, you look up a YouTube video on how to fix it. You have an entire shelf of free dental floss, but you still reuse it. You read Crystal's book, which says, "I won't teach you how to use dryer lint" and have a serious thought, "Dryer lint. Now that's something I never thought of… I wonder if I could…" What would you add to this list? Jody might be frugal - since she can put a check mark next to each of the statements in the above "You Might Be Frugal" test photo source |
