| What is frugal? I read a lot of frugal living blogs, mostly because Im really cheap and dont like wasting things, and Im always interested in how others save money. But Ive been thinking that we really dont live all that frugally, especially by other peoples standards. We go to the movies at least once a week, we buy new video games at least monthly, and we eat out frequently. All things that most who would describe themselves as frugal would be horrified at. At the same time, we save packing materials and reuse them for eBay shipping or craft projects, we use a dozen to 20 coupons every time we grocery shop, and we rarely buy clothes, books or household objects new in stores, preferring second-hand or thrift sales and stores.

| "Frugal Kind Of Living "
I think we should not let ourselves be bothered with the standards of frugal living. There aren't any standards in how each of us would like to spend our money. But for me, when you say frugal living, it means cutting up expenses as much as you can. And living frugal would enable families to save up for future events. No matter how you look at it. Living frugal is living simple and spending little. |
| "Spending Wisely Through Frugal Living "
I have to agree. As long as you are spending with what you need and trying to look for the much lesser prices stuffs and be able to save as well, then you are starting to be a frugal person. It is important that we do consider living frugal. It is so hard to earn money nowadays. Good thing that we can choose to live a life spending only to those needed stuffs. |
| Living a frugal life is one of the challenging part of being in a place new to you. I have been doing that for almost a year al ready and I really enjoyed and learn a lot on it. I think , people should really think of a good catch when they practice that act. I hope I can carry out that matter soon as possible in the future . |
| "Frugal in some sense"
I don't consider myself o be living in a frugal way completely, but in some sense I am. I believe that we should indulge ourselves with life's simple joys as long as we have still money to spend for the next few days and an emergency fund just around the corner. A frugal lifestyle should come naturally and shouldn't be the source of our stress. We must learn how to budget and indulge the money we worked hard for. |
| I really love to experience frugal life. I have many relatives in Oklahoma and many people would love to go to if they want a simple yet affordable life. I really admire people that are fun of making a great stuff in this area. I would like to know much about the frugal life there in Oklahoma and soon I can go there for good. I hope it will really be a good catch. |
