frugal living was using a light bulb in a sock to help mend the holes in the heels. A christmas tree made out of paper that we painted with water colors and a nail to hold it against the wall.. as mom made 2 bowls of popcorn... one to eat.. and the other to make string popcorn with

I've got Scottish blood and I come from a long line of homesteaders and poor people. My parents grew up in the depression and it left its mark on both of them. I probably don't know how not to be frugal.
It can be fun and rewarding sometimes to DIY and save, but I'm not an absolute pennypincher.Like (2)

I personally think frugal living is where you don't spend loads of money on buying things you don't really need- like I dont know, blow up dolls, or a new cutlery set eventho you have one, or really expensive pasta sauces when you can manage with cheap ones. I think it's admirable if it means not buying loads of things with really short lifespans and creating more rubbish for the planet, but I don't neccesarily like it when it's not a choice and it's something I have to do- like now for instance, I'm too skint to buy anything I didn't need anyway so am in a sort of forced state of frugal living. But I think it's admirable when it's self imposed and externally imposed... That's just me though :)

Frugal living is living beneath your means. I don't know how to live frugally. It's too difficult for me.

nothing wrong with frugality....nothing right about wastefulness.
Basically it;s how i live...home cooking, simple menu's, use something until it wears out or starts causing problems..i agree with sharpy.
WE WASTE TOO MUCH.Like (1)

It's basically budgeting: for me, buying a bus ticket and using it rather than calling cabs (I got rid of my car years ago),using coupons to buy groceries, eating breakfast before work and taking a lunch, cooking dinner---rather than going to restaurants.I can't say I love being frugal, but in this economy, it's all about stretching those dollars as far as you can.
