I find I can be oh so frugal about many things and other things I am not frugal. I have got to find a balance. So here we go, I really get serious about saving money on groceries, but like to eat out also, which is not frugal. I mean really why go out to eat when there is food at home? It doesn't make sense. Even to me. So what about some other areas. I once read about a woman who loved to use coupons, and then would pay for her items with a credit card, but wouldn't pay off the balance, thus causing her to have finance charges and interest on items she had worked so hard to coupon for.
I don't use many coupons, but I know that some people get lots of free things thru coupons, but I just dont seem to get the hang of it. So tell me about your frugal successes and your frugal fails.

Hi Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI use lots of coupons both for groceries and for eating out! ;) Have you checked out Restaurant.com yet? You can get gift certificates for $25 off $35 purchase (and other values as well) for up to 90% off. Make sure you wait for the 80% OFF deals before you buy your gift certificates. ;) These happen on a pretty regular basis. I bought some at 90% off for some of our favorite places around here and keep them in a folder so that I have them on hand.
I'm trying to be more frugal, too. I am for the most part. We rarely eat out and try to cook mostly from scratch. Since my favorite flea market closed, I'm really saving, LOL!
