What "frugal thing" did you do today?

HealthyLiving8 · 10-09-2008, 07:08 PM

pack up my lunch

walk my way home

**Succio** · 10-09-2008, 09:35 PM

well first i went to the store to pick up some expensive shades

it was a really hot day so i drank a lot of water

then i went to class

i came home and made some "soup"

the soup was no ordinary soup, it made my face weird

i wasnt feeling well for the next 2 hours

then i took my shirt off because it was getting so hot

and realized that i just gained 80 lbs of muscle mass.

so then i looked outside after hearing some ruckus

and its a dinosaur, so i quickly hopped on

then all of a sudden i got distracted by my neighbor

and the dinosaur ran into a house and i woke up realizing it was a dream

that was pretty cool ^^^

I guess this was "frugal".

Next week is my 13th wedding anniversary. My wife said she doesn't want anything so I only bought her some of her favorite flowers, Bird of Paradise.

Although I did pay extra for guaranteed morning delivery.

Mehhh there are some things that are pointless to spend money on like generic medicine, sugar, salt, etc. since it's identical to the expensive brand-name versions.

For most things the marginal utility is pretty favorable so I'm fine with spending more. Obviously it drops off at a point but sacrificing obvious quality benefits so you can save a couple bucks seems silly to me.

**Succio** · 10-11-2008, 09:42 PM

I think it follows

saved gas-- cos I dont have to take my laundry to BubblyDocs and
saved money -- cos I dont have to pay the laundry shop

double win

**Ikaika** · 10-15-2008, 04:51 PM

what the crap are you talking about...you said you saved money by doing your laundry and now you're talking about how not doing it saves money.

**DJSTARER** · 10-15-2008, 06:14 PM

Well no crap you didn't get over 2k rpm...you live in DC so traffic pretty much prevents this regardless.
