I dont get my hair cut but twice a year, I dye my own hair, I dont buy alot of clothes, I buy everything on sale. Chicken is cheap and you can do alot with it, same with hamburger.. I never pay full price for anything. If I find something at the grocery store really cheap, like 10 for $10 and get 11th one free, I will buy it and charge it if I have to then pay it off first chance I get. Its tough, I have a 10yr old and 13 yr old and they always want something but I think they are starting to understand how to budget and save money.
