Default Re: Are your friends frugal?

happens to me. We order out for lunch on Saturdays. I like to take a sandwhich or soup, and just order 1 item to go with it. They laugh at me, but some of them spend $7 to $15 per meal. Today, I took a sandwhich and just ordered onion rings to go with it. Cost me 99 cents. Girl beside me spent over $12 for her meal. They also feed the soda machine all day. I keep a container of tea, and one of lemonaide mix (generic) at my desk. I just mix up my own drinks in a big cup. They laugh at me for that one too. But, I laugh with them as its going into my pocket!! If I did it their way, I would be out another $40-$60 a month on food just for me. If I go to Aldi's, I can feed my whole family for 1-2 weeks on that, except for the milk.
