Is it possible to be too frugal?

Being a stay at home mom, I have had to learn to budget everything. I have been going to the library and internet to study frugalism. I don't want to be cheap, just frugal.
The other day, I was thinking about the end of the deodorant stick that gets stuck in the plastic and if there was a way to save it.
Is that being ridiculously frugal or does it go back to my conserving nature of waste nothing?

It's all about return-on-investment, be it money or time.
My late, great grandmother gave me advice that I still use to this day: "The best way to double your money is to fold it in half and stick back in your pocket."

They should make it so you could take it out then use it in some way. I do not know of a way to use it unless you dug it out and used it from your hand. Being frugal is really great! A lot of great inventions have been made from people being frugal. So, who knows you may get very rich from an awesome invention.
