I used to be so crazy frugal. It came to be a necessity because I was young and on my own in a big city. Fast forward a few years and I started making more money than I ever thought I would and got into some bad habits.
Now I am back to being poor again (ah, life. You fickle bitch) and am needing to become more and more creative with ways to save money.
I was up almost all last night reading through frugal posts, and now I am kinda grumpy and tired. I was going to ‘treat’ myself one last time to a pizza and stopped and thought better of it. I rummaged through my freezer and pantry, and used one of the links I found to see how far past the expiration date is safe to use food. I am currently waiting for some spaghetti noodles to get done, then I am going to sit down and enjoy a nice big bowl of spaghetti and turkey meatballs with enough left over for lunch tomorrow!
Thanks for getting me motivated to be smart about money again friends!
