I've had it, and I have to admit, I kind of like it.

Re: Bad Habits
My bad habit has become cooking. I have been watching food network and see all these great recipes I want to try. My DH is thrilled because he loves to eat and I will admit we have been eating quite well, but the grocery bill has risen some.Comment

Re: Bad Habits
My worst habit would have to be smoking...I can hear you all "oooing" through my speakers. I don't smoke more than 2-3 packs a week, but that is still $10 a week and $40 a month, $480 a year - I can go on.Comment

Re: Bad Habits
Bad habits: it's funny how many bad habits affect frugality. I go out to eat too much-I'm chubby, but even if I only ordered very healthy items and ate small portions and doggy-bagged the meal is at least 5 times what a meal could cost at home, if not ten times. So this one hits pocketbook and belly. Another bad habit, that's making me mad because it provide zero satisfaction! Buying produce and other fresh foods, then having it rot and tossing it. I just am incensed at how many bags of grapes I've tossed recently-why can't I stop? I'm also too lazy-everynight I make big plans for how I can change, and the next day: work seems like enough. Even if I make smaller plans, I can't live up. Every weekend I say I'm going to be social, and be productive, and get healthy, but, just bare minimum of laundry and dishes then the couch, and nothing social. I know that a lot of my laziness is a habit I can break. Ah, well.Comment

Perhaps if you fixed something the night before in a crock pot when you feel the urge to change would be a way to eat healthy the next day. It might be a way to start.Comment

Re: Bad Habits
Rob62651: it's true that I can use little tips to fool myself. If I can come home from work *and not sit down* and fix a meal and the next day's lunch, and maybe even do some tidying or errands, I'm good. I can pump out a good hour, hour and a half of work. Whereas if I come home and sit for a half hour, that's it, I'm done for the night. Sometimes my boyfriend is impressed because I come home from my eight hour day and pump out the work, but really, it's a mini-battle against laziness, not a victory. Crock-pots are awesome-easy, frugal, low key. I adore having left-overs-It's laziness preparation! I use my frugal tupperware (cottage cheese tubs, salsa tubs, etc.) and sock away the stews and other concoctions. Good habits can be as much of a habit as bad habits, so I just try to get something good to the habit stage. For example, I do some pretty heavy receycling-the money stuff of aluminum, soda bottles (work friends drink it!), etc., and the non-money stuff-canned food cans, paper, cardboard, sauce bottles, overused cottage cheese tupperware, etc. I've had other people find it admirable how little trash I create/how much recycling I do, but, it is really just a habit. I don't think about it, I don't try to do it, it's no effort, it's just "what I do." So, I need to make cooking good meals a habit. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Whew.Comment

Re: Bad Habits
cercis - thnak goodness i set my own hours at my job, or else I'd never get any sleep!!!! I can easily do the 12-14 straight too.. Funny how you can sleep so much, eh? Although, my husband has NOW been starting to call me from work early in the morning to get my day started out earlier and it annoys me, but I'm up just a bit earlier... So I guess it's a good thing.

Re: Bad Habits
CJ, I really think that I'm programmed for 9 hours of sleep, but starting at 2-3am. Well, since I can't get that during the week, I make up for it on weekends (I am lucky and have a DH who will allow me to sleep in while he watches the kids).
I only work parttime so I can often get a nap in the afternoon.Comment
