Our garbage disposal went out, or should I say rusted out (it came with the house and has been in forever)! There was no fixing it so we had buy another one. I don't use it that much so we opted for the cheapest! I hope that was a smart decision!! We spent $85.00 and my husband installed it, so that saved by not having to hire somebody!

Confession time: It's been snowing and cold where we live, so for the past 4 days we cranked the heat up from 62 to 63! Today it's warmer so it's back down to 62.

Forgot to turn the heat off when we went to bed so it ran until about 3 am when I woke up hot and remembered it was on.

Spent about $20 on lunch for me and the boy when we went out to eat.

spent 6.00 to get the car washed rather than washing it myself.. either way the salt is off of it i guess!

$65 tonight taking a friend of mine out for a birthday dinner. Gah! I wasn't expecting that much. And that was only half the bill! I split the cost with the other friend of the birthday girl.

Got a kit kat bar out of the vending machine using my spare change (which ultimately gets dumped into my savings account usually).

By the way, us servers appreciate you ladies that still tip well considering your frugality! I live by the rule: if you can afford to eat out, you can afford to tip well. But most people dont get this idea, and it's us who suffer! Most people dont realize that tips are really the only income servers have. They focus more on the idea that THEY are the ones with the power rather than what happens if they tip crappy... I'm lucky I make a decent amount of money doing what I do. Everything is always so inconsistent!

I was bad and did not really do anything frugal today! I went out and spent money on coffee and a bite to eat! Darn!

Bought a package of disposable razors. Unfrugal on two counts:

1. Disposable products - tsk, tsk.

2. I've worn a full beard for the past 30 years.

well, at least it wasn't one of the battery operated vibrating manual razors with the replaceable heads: those are even worse for the environment! and number only counts if you are in fact not planning on shaving said beard.

Well, I just went and bought baby clothes for someone I don't even know. A few months ago a young girl posted on a local forum looking for a job. She was 19, had a baby age one and was expecting another one. Her husband had left her and she didn't know what to do. she was living with her mother, brothers and sisters.
She has a baby girl yesterday and we are all going to get her some baby clothes and diapers to help out.
Might not be frugal, but I feel good about it!!
