How cheap are you?
We got some killer suggestions on saving money this morning.
Cheap? Frugal? Smart!
*You want to talk cheap I once bought a pair of sneakers I liked a half size too small for me just because they were 50% off
*Buy A-1 steak Sauce. Then when it's empty I fill the bottle with generic steak sauce to fool my kids.
*Add water to dish soap.
*I cut sponges and downgrade them. 1 sponge becomes 2 sponges. 1st life is a dishwashing sponge, gets kind of gross and becomes a floor sponge or a bird sponge. Then the other half becomes a dish sponge.
*I cut Brillo pads into thirds. Why use a whole pad on one dish and then leave it to sit & rust?
*My wife & I are moving to Colorado Springs. We’re driving a 10ft UHaul and towing our Jeep. Didn’t want to pay for a hotel, so the 3 of us (our dog is with us) slept in the teeny tiny cab of the Uhaul last night. It was actually the best sleep I’ve had all week.
*I use coupons all the time & pretty much never buy anything unless it’s on sale.
*I will look thru the meat and find the cheapest ones even if it’s a few cents difference.
*Weight the bag of potatoes & buy the heaviest one. You might end up with an extra potato or 2.
*OMG…I’m so cheap I make my own laundry detergent!
*I’m a coupon queen…I never pay full price. Salvation Army is my favorite place.
*I don’t even own a clothes dryer. I just hang my clothes in the laundry room and they dry in less than 24 hrs.
*I’ll put the ketchup packets back in the bottle when my husband isn’t looking…plastic bags from the grocery store double as garbage bags…all leftovers are next day’s lunch at work.
*My Dad used to add water to condiments when the bottles were low.
