I Am So Frugal I…

by

I am generally a pretty frugal person. One thing that I do seems to garner looks and reactions every time I do it. To me, I see great value in getting the most out of things we purchase.

I am so frugal I keep all non-working lighters in the house. Then, when I run out of a lighter that is 100% operational, I combine the efforts of two lighters. Meaning I use one that still sparks with one that still has fluid.

I have done this for a long time, and here’s the best reaction I have received when someone witnessed me using two lighters.

“Oh my gosh…what are you doing? I’m gonna give you $1.00 to go buy a new lighter.”

I politely declined the offer, but it sure made me chuckle. 🙂

If you have a “I am so frugal I…” trait to share, feel free to leave a comment. Bloggers, feel free to meme (I believe that’s the word) and let me know. I’ll link to you here.

No Friday Blog Highlight This Week

by

I have been working a lot this week, and while I love the overtime…it hasn’t left much time for other things. I was hoping to get a break during work today to prepare a Blog Highlight post but it didn’t happen.

I’m also feeling a little under the weather. Probably because of the season change and from not getting much sleep lately. I think I need to recharge a bit, rest my eyes, and get away from the computer for a while.

I may or may not be posting this weekend, since I could use some R&R. I have a gazillion things to do and I need to get focused and get things done. Right now I feel like I’m doing bits and pieces of things and not accomplishing anything. I haven’t even updated my Quicken file in a while! It would be nice to put a few more dollars towards debt before the end of the month but I have some major catching up to do. That reminds me…I have another confession to share…

Anyways, I’ll try to get back on schedule next week with the blog highlights and one of these days I’ll be a consistent blogger. Right now the times I post are all over the board. It’s basically when I have a moment to write what’s on my mind.

I hope everyone has a great weekend.
