Do you look for new ways to be frugal?

Tweet

We are all watching our daily expenses continue to constantly increase now. More and more, people are finding themselves in dire straits--loss of jobs, homes, vehicles...it's heartbreaking to hear of these things happening. It's made me think more than ever about ways to make things last and to make the most of what I have. I realized the other day I am always looking for more ways to be frugal. I was raised with a lot of older people who had survived the Great Depression, World Wars, food and job shortages, and all sorts of things that many that are young in the present day have never even thought of having to go through. Do you have a trick or two up your sleeve, on a way you have discovered to save? I think most of us here use our leftovers, watch for sales, and things like that. Do you ever look for ways to reuse or repurpose anything? Or do you look up new recipes to use what you have on hand? Several friends have ''No Meat Monday'' in their homes now. Many people do not eat out in restaurants much anymore, if at all. I even combine my errands and tie them into appointments, etc., if at all possible, to save gas and miles driven. Sometimes, that's a bit tricky, but for the most part I make it work. Anyone with any new and inventive ideas on ways to be frugal? Maybe we can learn from each other. Picture of the Tighwad Gazette, ways of saving money from soup to nuts, basically. A great book!!
