Least frugal thing you do?

[fam5d07]

I am going back to school and I treat myself to a chai latte and scone on a test day gives me a pick me up and reward for a job well done

[shizane101]

I eat out almost every single day!!!! Shame on me because I work so hard at saving $ on everthing I do.

When I use the word frugal, I mean "without waste" so I don't consider vacations to not be frugal. A vacation where you pay full retail would be non-frugal, but I doubt many people on this website buy anything without seriously assessing cheaper options.

My non-frugal sin: My Ivy League education...same books at 2x the price.

I have an addiction.

To Dubble Bubble Bubble Gum.

I cannot stop. I buy a tub of 380 pieces each month at Sam's. It is 4 bucks.

I am addicted to ice, fortunately , it is usually free!

[DebbieL]

Lol Ima. Do you know that "ice" is a street name for crystal meth? I don't think that's usually free though, lol.

Ice free?? I just paid $260 to get my icemaker fixed. BUT, as DH pointed out, its a $3200 refrig that we bought brand new at the sears scratch & dent (its built in, so you cant even see the scratch) for only $930. Of course, it went out 2 months after the warrenty ended. But, with my MS its hard to crack open the ice cube trays, and we use a lot of ice esp when we make ice cream and such.

A funny dog store. We showed in obediance so we bought a van to sleep in to save motel rooms. Make coffee before hitting early the early ring times. The dog hit the ring three time under three judges here in Knoxville and she had her degree. I guess we bought a van for nothing but at least was usuable.

But look how much you save having a wife!!!!

I have a wife

You need to read this one Mail Tribune Business - Stay-at-home wife worth a million bucks

You wife may actually be saving you thousands of dollars, not to mention you can also count her as a dependent for taxes.

$508,700 a year, according to a study by Fairfax, Va.-based Edelman Financial Services Inc. The study analyzed salary data supplied by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, trade groups, human resources organizations and staffing services for a number of the tasks a mother does throughout the year. The salary figure is based on 17 occupations that mothers typically perform and each job's median salary, including:

Animal caretaker, $17,000.
Executive chef, $40,000.
General office clerk, $19,000.
Registered nurse, $35,000.
Child-care worker, $13,000.
Psychologist, $29,000.
Bus driver, $32,000.

Sounds like you don't love or respect your wife at all. I'm not saying she deserves it based on what you've written - although her side might be different. Why are you even married?

driving a half hour to the bent can store, but saved more then half of what i pay while there. 10 koolaids for a dollar is almost worth the trip alone to me. Ive went once alone, usually take 2 girls with me.

my cable/net/phone package which i know costs more than i can afford, but just cannot give up with three teenage grandsons living with me (the other three thins i cannot afford .
