Hi Laurie! You are doing a great job at being frugal. I watch my pennies too, just cuz I want to save for retirement and meet all my bills. It's kind of fun to see how resourceful we can be. Plus, we recognize how smart we can be as well as what really is worth spending money on. We find out what really is important and learn alot about ourselves....Thanks for sharing your story.
I got hooked on learning ways to cook with vegetables and beans instead of buying meat which I think is expensive and not always the best quality. Plus, animal fat tends to clog the arteries, so, save money now by eating vegetarian and save money later by not having coronary artery disease! I became interested in Indian (as in India) cooking and I've had alot of fun with it.
