I come from a very self- sufficient family, married a very handy man and do most of my shopping at second hand stores. We have a lovely home, usually have enough to share and never go without. Just saying frugal does not mean poor. I love reading about other peoples experiences in frugality :) Thanks! Excellant points!

Oh my god, if I only did this years' ago. In the last 2 weeks I have saved over $250.00 at grocery stores and drugstores. I use coupons, ask for coupons and get all I can on-line. I can't believe the savings. If I had done this before the amount of money I was saving instead of wasting would have been enormous. Again, I will continue reading about frugal living and trying to do more. Thank you very much. After reading many of your articles, I have begun frugal at the age of 59.

Certainly, I enjoy being self-supporting, and my heart no longer pounds when I open the mailbox, but it feels great to have dropped 20 pounds as a "default vegetarian," and to know that I'm helping America reduce our deendency on foreign oil every time I refill my water bottle or take my own cloth bags to the grocery. Thank you for pointing out the many benefits to frugality! Money in and of itself is at the bottom of my list for why I am frugal.
