That way it is easy to track.<BR/><BR/>Great post!Frugal Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15190205304276427805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-70753393224188471752009-03-13T10:38:00.000-05:002009-03-13T10:38:00.000-05:00its hard not to get frustrated. my hubs and i ren...its hard not to get frustrated. my hubs and i rent, furnished with hand-me-downs, and still live on about $3K a month. i just don't know where we can cut more.Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793109148879037341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-82967791981734268802009-03-13T10:33:00.000-05:002009-03-13T10:33:00.000-05:00As you get more and more frugal, it's amazing at h...As you get more and more frugal, it's amazing at how little it takes for contentment, isn't it? Things I really, really 'needed' years ago just plain don't interest me now. And I love the 'financial high' of saving 45% on groceries!<BR/>When someone tells me they don't have time to clip coupons, I tell them this. Even if I spend 2 hours a week clipping and organizing my coupons, if I save $40, that's like being paid $20 an hour! Tell me what job, that you could even do in front of the TV, pays that?Mom2furhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-27820837484789112292009-03-12T17:48:00.000-05:002009-03-12T17:48:00.000-05:00I can't believe you live so well on so little!

We're a one car family now, and have gotten rid of cable, scaled back cell phone plans, etc. It's still tight! Will have to browse around your blog for some frugality tips!<BR/><BR/>I actually just came by to tell you that the randomly-selected winner of the Cheesecake Factory gift certificate is Joy from Joy to the Blog.

I know I could certainly do less on food as we do not really need to eat much. Switch to water than coffee or a soda. Use natural light and not electricity. Cut out computers to save there too! Hang clothes than use dryer. Lots of things. <BR/>But alas I am a whimp and don't do as well as I should.lynette355https://www.blogger.com/profile/07162581667028276870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-9729185185249285062009-03-11T21:48:00.000-05:002009-03-11T21:48:00.000-05:00Great tips!Great tips!Corrie at "Cents"able Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156997868428556144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878649115694692418.post-51219228595296545932009-03-11T16:01:00.000-05:002009-03-11T16:01:00.000-05:00I'm really working on being frugal.

My husband actually has a great salary plus he gets commissions...it's just that we've been financially "stupid" in the past and now we're trying to pay off debts and save money. I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan. For the most part, anyway!Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250646887030288782noreply@blogger.com
