And even the things that do cost money can usually be had for a lot less than the average consumer is paying.
For example, we go to Disney World every year (used to go twice a year until DD started school). Lots of people hear that and think, "Must be nice to have that kind of money." They are shocked when I tell them how little we spend for our annual trips. Many of them spend more for a week at the shore than we spend for a week in Disney World.
To me, frugality means prioritizing your spending so that you can afford things that are important to you, while also being value conscious and working to get a good deal when you do spend your money.
