Default Re: Least frugal thing you do?

hello , I am a newbie to this site......anyway I have to say I had to become very frugal because of our job situation.....
we both quit smoking
no cable tv
dial up computer
couponing and rebates
home hair cuts
eating at home 99% of the time
hanging clothes on a line instead of using dryer
no trash service, recycling
lowering deductables from cars...( they are older anyway)
packing lunch from home

I have to tell you it snow

balls and the savings in substantial.. it was hard at first but now its just a big game to me....we all chip in and the benifits are great..... I leave a certain amount in my checking and at the end of the month whatever is over that amount get put into a CD.... I was so surprised because we have less money now but I made it up ....its like being tax free...... also I have found better things to do with my time, instead of being a couch potato.... thanks for reading and have a great day.....
