I would like to think of myself as "cost-conscious" as to being cheap. If I want a big ticket item, I save for it. While saving I research prices as well a look at reviews.
I have to be careful of speaking aloud as to wanting or wishing for something around my husband. Because he will tell me to get ready to shop....LOL I like to save for things, makes me feel I have accomplished something without breaking the bank.
Another thing, I like to use up what I have, as in fabric, or patch my holey jeans, place an embroidered pattern over a small hole my shirts gets from snagging on something. Rather than go out and buy new clothes. That's the frugal side of me.....make due and save the money for a rainy day. Cause when it rains sometimes it's a storm and the rainy day fund comes in handy.
