Somedays I am better at frugality than others. And there are even days where I am not frugal at all.
I did make a list of things that I wouldnt buy for the rest of 2006 that Ive tried to really stick to...and it has kept me on track for ME.
But I do not have the total buy-in from my housemates (DH and DD3)....who do not get the same satisfaction from FREE toothpaste or shampoo if it is a little different than what they are used to. Nor did they agree to forego soda's and pricey treats....I find that I am less frugal for their needs and wants than for mine.
But I guess every little bit helps...and so I will continue to save where I can.
