I'm not too proud to:
When ordering pizza, I'm not too proud to empty free packets of parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper packets into my own containers at home.
To take home left-overs from a restaurant.
To put the crackers from a salad into my purse for later.
To pick up a penny from the ground. (I once found $100!)
Accept used items from family.
To color my own hair.
To cut my son's hair myself.
To shop at Goodwill.
To keep my "outdated" decor.

Oh, and in case anyone thinks I'm poor...far from it.
I'm proud to say I'm frugal!
My husband likes McDoubles plain, and I like them with extra onion and pickles. So he orders all of his stuff on the side, and I put it on my burger. LOL
I went with Timewarner a couple of years ago, because I fell for their $99 package. Well after 2 years my bill went up to $249!
So, I switched back to Dish Network. It is only $62 a month. I don't need a house phone! I have Earthlink for internet! I don't need anything more then that. It is on $14.99 a month.
My husband and I discussed it. He said it affects you the most, so we will do what you want. I don't want to pay $250 to Timewarner. So I am very proud to admit we downsized and went with DSL instead of broadband.
I can use them- reuse- and reuse again and again! I pack individual meat servings in them, and cook them for myself during the day.
Quoting KenzieQsMommy:
I'm not too proud to reuse plastic baggies from the pancakes I freeze
Who is more Frugal?
