Okay. So. I am probably the last person you would expect to post info, let alone a tip, about being frugal. After all, I am known to let her rip when shopping. But, I was thinking the other day, the last day I went shopping. I was thinking about how much money I spent and how little I got in return. And I was thinking about how big my beady little eyes grew when the cashier announced the total. It was double what I expected. As usual I didn't make a scene but I did wonder what in the world was I doing. Again.
What I was doing was shopping, something I try to avoid since frankly I am not good at letting go and leaving it on the shelf. Later I thought about it and came up with this. Before I check out, put half my stuff back. Then I won't be nearly as surprised or disappointed.
So Frugality Tip # 1 is Divide by 2.
If you're anything like me, you'll be glad you did!
