Crazy hot baths in my huge clawfoot tub.

Driving my suburban-(gaswise) but, its a necessity for where I live and my lifestyle. I have to have 4x4 for the winters here. I have to have something with a tow package, for moving hay and pulling the camper. The suburban will hold all the kids, and groceries, a pick up won't. But, its paid for, its a 99, so the insurance is lower, and I figure its cheaper than having a second vehichle which would be more taxes and more insurance.

I will only use Bare Minerals cosmetics. It is pretty expensive, but definately the best make up I have ever used.

I've just started using it, too! I use this and good haircare products cos I have a hard type of hair to style. But since I keep it short and sassy, a little product goes a long, long way. Also, I do pay good for the cut and stuff. My gal is a magician and worth it.

Re: Least frugal thing you do?

well, it's not an issue now, but i happily pay dearly to keep my AC on. where i'm at, not running the AC invites insane humidity and possibly mold/spore issues, so i guess in a way it's responsible seriously, though, i keep it *gulp* at 70 or below in the summer. nice thing about an older house w/ thick plaster walls is that my highest bill was still only 154!

it works out well n the winter, though: heated mattress pad and a wood stove, and my electric bills are nothing until may. actually just built our first fire in the new house night before last: it was 60 niside and DH was chilly. amazingly, i did not quote my father & tell him to "put some clothes on!"

Well, I am trying not to do this anymore, but I confess the sin of....buying stuff from the TV shopping channels! I could kick my own rear-end for all the money I've spent, especially on scrapbooking stuff, jewelry and skin care. Right now, I could make a scrapbook for everyone online with all of my stash. I would just see something cute and bam, it was mine.

I have the same problem, I have just made myself quit watching the tv shopping channels.

I made myself so mad by buying a few packages of meat on the reduced section. I usually take them home and cook them up immediately and freeze, some I make into a dinner for that night. One package I left in the fridge to make a stir-fry the very next night and things just came up and we didn't cook, just pulled out a frozen pizza.....tired from work. Needless to say I forgot about it and today unwrapped a very nasty smelling package of boneless pork strips!! That'll teach me! I hate wasting good money and food.

I can relate cicy33........my weakness is thrift stores, goodwills, etc. I go way overboard at those places and it's easy to do!

Our snowmobiling! We bought two new, and we register them and then get no snow! Last year not one day trip! I don't care because it's the one thing I like to do outdoors in the winter and it's so much fun. Though I have been taking walks when it isn't -10 outside!!

Run my Vornado fan at night blowing in my face all winter long while the heater runs. Hubster wants to be warm on his side of the bed, I want hurricane force winds blowing in my face and I love the sound of it.

Nope, not gonna give it up at this stage of life.

Gosh, we run the fan all night too, I thought I was the only one. My husband has a severe ringing in his ear. It seems to help and I like the noise too.
