Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

Same advice in all of them, and people still are not listening to it. The me, this is second nature and only makes sense.

But my favorite is #8----Never walk into a store and purchase something without thinking about it first. Frugal living requires you to consider all purchases with at least a 24-hour timeframe. If you still feel compelled to have the item in question after 24-hours, then it might be worth buying.

I always do this, but 99 out of 100 times, I don't go back. And that is the point, isn't it? The only problem with it is that it goes against MY #1 advice----Don't go shopping. I find that if I am bored and go shopping to get rid of the boredom, I always buy SOMETHING that I would not buy if I had not known it was there. When I am bored, I go to a friend's house (or get on DU). I am rarely in any stores anymore.

And that is my two cents. Now take that two cents and put it in my coin jar! And when you have a full jar, count it and wrap it yourself and deposit it in your bank account----and save the fees they charge you to count it at a coin counter!
