Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention.

I guess the author could have slipped in buying anything made by Apple, which is essentially the same hardware only you’re paying for the name. On second thought, its probably better Amy DIDN’T mention it, as that may potentially start a flame war, as it usually happens when you mention computers.

I agree with all of these except for number 3. The thing is, in order to get those discount, you have to go out of your way to find these deals.

For instance, pop quiz: where’s the nearest flee market from where you live? Most people don’t know, and even if they did, its usually over an hour away worth of driving. As for buying stuff from ebay or craigslist, you have to deal with the wait time and not always reliable sellers. In the end, its not just about being cool, its about saving some time, money can’t buy.

As for getting your haircut less often, again, saving some money is nice, but the big payoff is avoiding the hassle and saving that hour or two— that you could better use making some comment on an internet site.

Enough already about the bottled water. The amount of plastic in a bottle is miniscule, and RECYCLABLE!!! If you buy by the case, it’s only about .15 per bottle. Saves me from the drive through at Mc Donalds, and is a lot healthier than soda! I need to drink a lot of water, and refilling from the tap is not an option at my home, the water is undrinkable well water.

I don’t worry about if other people think I am cool or not. People accept me as I am, if they don’t then they are probably not what I call good friend materal.
I choose not to define myself by what I drive, what I wear, etc, etc.

This is stupid. “I save money by wearing a big plastic bag and by wrapping my feet in old news papers, unlike the evil “cool” kids who wear newfangled clothes and shoes.”

And also, TheWalletSaver are you twelve? Who still considers it cool to smoke?

I like to be different, not following the trends like everybody else, doing my own thing. And I suppose all of you do so too.I will only wear clothes with any brand names (advertising) on it when they pay me to do it. We make our own food from pizzas to cookies according to our own tastes without any preservatives and less salt and sugar. Uncool is cool!

I am not one of these so-called “cool” people described by the author. However, while reading this article I couldn’t help notice how insecure and judgmental the author sounds. Took me back to high school.

You know all those coffee’s at Starbucks, the cans of pop that are just astronomical that you buy. I don’t. I’m
frugal. I just drink water out of the fridge that I got out of the faucet. I could go on and on but won’t

Nice to know there are others who think like me. I cut my own hair – have observed the hairstylist in the past, so I take the time to get the feathering just right! Also, never buy out-of season or expensive fruits and vegetables –
always wait for the prices to come down. For laundry purposes, I have found that adding a few drops of antiseptic liquid (eg. Dettol or Savlon)to the detergent gets the clothes cleaner and brighter, while needing less of the detergent. Well-cut and well-maintained clothes look as good as anything designer. Just get the colours right – in terms of both fashion and personal colouring.
