I don't normally post things like this. You all know that. But if I can save someone $5 on something they were gonna get anyways then I did my part for the day 🤣

@Timmah1979

Aren’t you kind?

@LnzyHou I'm just notoriously cheap 🤣

@Timmah1979

Frugal is my fav word.

I take onions back that are rotten inside. Blueberries that are mushy. Etc

@LnzyHou @Timmah1979

You might enjoy the compilations of the Tightwad Gazette, by Amy Dacyczyn.

While some of the specifics are dated, the general pointers and broadly-applicable concepts of frugality still apply.

For a few years while we were in serious poverty, they were like a bible to us.

I grew up with a stepmother who could squeeze a quarter out of a nickel.

Learned to wash the bathroom sink with a cut-open finished tube of tooth paste—“polish the porcelain”

Save margarine wrappers to grease a frying pan.

Run coffee through the percolator twice.

You get my drift.

@LnzyHou @Timmah1979 We still re-use aluminum foil. We no longer wash out ziploc bags, now that the cheapo plastic containers exist that can be reused over and over.

But we kind of Marie Kondo our purchases, asking "do we need this or will it make us happier?"

My filter is where will this live? I have 650 sq ft.

I hate clutter.

Almost always it’s walk away. With rare exception.

Picked up this ruby glass vase for $5 while thrifting.

It’s home is on the window sill.

@LnzyHou @Timmah1979 I love ruby glass and cranberry glass!
