Least frugal thing you do?

Vacations! We travel at least 4 times a year, and I don't mind doing it up in style when the opportunity presents.

We enjoy it so much--it's a big part of the reason I'm frugal at home!

My husband and I work in the same building, so we pack a lunch and eat in the cafeteria together most days.
The lease frugal thing we do is take lunch to the mid high school ever two weeks to eat with our teen & her friends in the cafeteria on our day off. It isn't that feeding our kid is the problem, but that we feed all the teens (10-15) when we come. It's a draw on the pocketbook, but nice to see all my daughters' friends.
Her friends think her parents are "the bomb."

Probably the least frugal thing I do is to patronize a commercial laundry for my shirts and khaki slacks. They do a nice job, and I can indulge my fetish for laundry starch.

We go to a lot of car shows.

The least frugal thing I do, and the one I feel guiltiest about, is keeping the air conditioner at 68 in the summer. Of course I make up for it in winter! 55 bothers me not!

Re: Least frugal thing you do?

Wow, 55 in the winter. I keep mine at 60 and my husband complains, so I turn it up for him at night.

Yes, that is why I chose the polar bear as my icon. I love winter! To me, wearing a turtle neck and sweater, bundling in a blanket and sitting in a window seat with a hot cup of cocoa and a good book is a very good way to spend a lazy afternoon.

I'm considering purchasing electric matress pads for the little Eskimos in my life though.

I have to keep an heating pad for my little dog to sleep on and an electric blanket for my garage sleeping dog. At least it helps with your heating bill!

I enjoy room service when I get in late to the hotel after a loooooooong day on the road or the platform

Run my electric Vornado fan in my face ALL NIGHT LONG! I Love It - and a whole plethora of other things would go by the wayside before that goes.

Long, hot showers

If the fan keeps you cool at night, then you are not using the a/c and that is saving you money. At night I have two fans on me as well the ceiling fan is also on, but the a/c is set up at 80 degrees at night. So I figure I am saving money.

We all need to take a long hot shower every once in a while. Figure it this way, if you are taking a long hot shower then you are saving money by not doing something else that would cost you a lot more money.

Yes room service is nice but I bet this is not an everyday thing. By getting room service this is saving you body enery and letting you get more rest. I figure either way you are saving yourself either body energy (rest) and you are giving yourself a treat that is not an everyday thing.

Nope - the AC is on as well. I save other places, but have to be cool. Sweating is against my religion.

Re: Least frugal thing you do?

I have to be cool at night too and love the fans on me, dh hates the fans on him. Since I am the only here during the day I have the fans on in the livingroom and the a/c set up high, now when I am taking a nap I like to have the a/c on lower but not that much lower.
