Default Re: Frugal by nature?

Dh is addicted to computers, while he is frugal in his spending there, it is a category, that non gamers/non netters could avoid completely.

We also have a problemn in the 'education' department, i put that in quotes because there is really nothing intrinsically more educational about going to the discovery place than heading to the back yard..but...well I like things bigger than my backyard! so we often splurge there.

I also hate to cook, so while we are often successful at low budget feeding, it is a forced thing, not easy.

on the other hand, I don't tend to wear makeup ( I saw an add for some girls face, 20 bucks for liner, blush and shadow..what about the rest of her 'stuff' I do know something about makeup and that face cost 100$ minimum! no way I could afford that! even if I wanted to be painted every day..err no offense to those who do paint)

I also find spoiling my kids with stuff to be no big deal to pass on....I fon't want the stuff in my house!
