All of the above.
I am cost-conscious when buying fabric. I will buy it on sale and on clearance, which leaves me an eclectic stash. I only buy fabric at $5 a yard or less, preferably less.
frugal- I am frugal in buying groceries. I either make everything from scratch, or I go the other way and buy the Stouffer's Easy Meals in the freezer section. With a coupon, those are $3 for dinner for 2, including meat, starch and green veggies. If we eat out, we order something I don't fix at home. Never pay more than $10 per person and that is the exception. I live in a small town and we have lots of 2 for 1 coupons mailed out. I can often feed dh and self supper for $5 or less, with no cooking! :lol:
economical - We only have two luxuries we purchase - internet and cable tv. We live in the country and are limited to 1 of 2 carriers, so I pay $75 per month for each. Would pay less but there are no other options.
cheap - I go to Dollar Tree for my decorations, cleansers, sponges, plasticware and gift wrap. Cards, too.
Careful- I take over 14 prescriptions so I call every drug store in the area every month to compare prices. It is amazing that one will charge $40 for another's $4. Also, dh has a very expensive prescription that costs $165 per mo in the US, but $28.95 for the same prescription made in India. I pay $10 for shipping, and it takes 21 days to get here.
Free- I take as much as given, if I will use it or know of someone who will. I don't hoard.
Clothing - I buy all my clothing used (except underwear) from E-bay. I wear a 4x and ebay has a great variety. I usually buy 3-4 outfits per summer/winter.
My dh likes to wear his college themed sport shirts (Go Auburn!). I buy all of them on ebay, used. Usually for under $5 for $50 shirts.
