Cheap got my bills paid off, and I only owe on my house now. Sometimes being cheap isnt bad, of course I do try to GIVE as well!
In the world I grew up in, almost everyone was "frugal" - because we had to be.
Reuse, recycle, don't waste food, pay cash for, or do without were the mantras I heard growing up.
My Mom made hundreds of lap quilts for nursing homes, and she usually used old sheets for the liners. Also for "summer quilts"
