My husband and I have been known to share tea bags when both of us are having some hot tea!
and only eat meat they have hunted or traded.
.My sister and her hubby + 2 kiddos came all the way down from Seattle, WA to Texas towing an RV trailer and stayed in Wal-mart parking lots the whole way to save the $20/night or so had they stayed in an RV park instead
To each his own, but that just grosses me out.
we do not consume Bambi Burgers in our house.
I did want to share something a co-worker of mine did a couple of years ago. A hurricane threatened the Texas Coast - Hurricane Rita. Well of course everyone made preparations, one of which was filling bathtubs with water in case the water service went out. Luckily Houston did not get hit by the hurricane and life went back to normal. My coworker did NOT drain his tub like most people did - instead he had a bucket and filled the bucket with bath water each time he had to flush until all of the accessible bath water was used up. Talk about frugal!!!
I think the fact that I rarely buy a new item of clothing that isn't off a clearance rack and isn't marked down multiple times & that goes for my kids as well. My DD & I went to the GAP a few weeks ago & she figured out that she could get several items off the clearance rack for the same amount of money as 1 t-shirt. It was a real eye-opener for her.
I ask my boys to reuse their zip-lock bags from lunch. They are packing pretzels/crackers/chips and I just hate that they throw them out every day. This is their proof that I am .

I pack a mix of baggies & plastic containers. I have also found cheap plastic utensils at the Target Dollar Spot & I buy those & reuse them. I figure even if they lose 1/2 of them by the end of the year I've still saved money.
My BFF's son once defined 'organic' (for a project) as being grown in 'Poo'. I have never looked at organic foods the same since then. And how do you know that it is organic? Deer are infamous for disease. YUCK!! And I don't eat small rodents either. I used to have bunnies as pets, not dinner. Squirrels and possum...EewwwHey, it is organic!
