Trying to be frugal

In the process of doing that, somehow I've developed a few frugal habits that are actually a lot of fun. I'm writing this post to remind myself why these are fun more than to update my friends on my life, but maybe these will

Good way to remember to use coupons: put a magnetic bag clip on your fridge with your grocery list clipped in it. Update the list as you think of things you need, find corresponding coupon and add it to the clip. Then, when you go to the store, all you have to do is take down your little stack of coupons and the list from the fridge. Economical AND time-saving. Brian thinks I'm crazy, but I save us at least $20 every time I go shopping.

I like that way of holding coupons. Right now, I write my grocery list and then dig through the little bin on the kitchen counter where all the coupons live. Coupons do not make one crazy, promise! Good for you on saving money. ^_^

The millionaire next door is a frugal person. Just read the book! Money in the bank is more satisfying than stuff in the closet. :-) Of course, big adventures are worth every penny! Mom
