Thriftiness is the name of the game

I am not thrifty if investing money for something worth investing. I would surely do anything to invest and build money and business for something that is very certain.

I'm kind of inbetween. Most of the time I'm a really conscious customer, but there are stuff/hobbies which I don't really feel sorry splurging on... but in those casesm too, I usually buy cheaper ones (just a lot). I never stock up ridiculous amounts on food, shampoo etc. I find that crazy and paranoid. I always compare the prices of different shops, and now I know where to get what. Coupons aren't that popular in my country as they are in the US, and not in that amount, but I always use them if I get one which is really worth it... but only when it's really worth it. I try to use as little water and artificial lighting as I could. I buy clothes at thrift stores more than brand name retails store-they are so much cooler btw :). And there are some other little things, too-for example, I buy some cheaper fruit syrup, and drink that with water, if I want to drink something more sweet. So much cheaper than pre-made fizzy drinks. Theatre and make-up are, however, my weaknesses (closely followed by books and CDs), but I usually set a budget up for myself in these cases :).

yes i am very thrifty and kniow alot of different ways to save as well and i love saving any way i can and i love the dollar stores wither its doller general, family dollar or dollar tree my favorite and im a big walmmsrt fan as well and wal greens is top on my list for good quality stuff and great value.. take care..

I try to be thrifty, but won't go totally overboard and will spend on some luxuries now and again. I think some people go a little crazy, like when they separate two sides of the ply on the toilet paper, or when they eat and drink expired items in the fridge because they don't want to waste. I would never make myself sick just for the sake of a penny or two. How thrifty are you?

I'm trying to be more of a thrifty person, but I really don't know how -other than to leave my wallet at home! lol I do use coupons sometimes when I go grocery shopping, and check clearance racks..I used to go to places like Salvation Army for clothing, but it's always hit or miss there -and I was usually only in it for the cool finds like vintage designer bags, etc. Hehe I think as long as you have a budget and stick to it, any extra money can be either spent on frivolous things that you enjoy, or saved up to splurge on something like a vacation or a ticket to a concert or something that will leave you with memories, long after the event is over. Sometimes I get so sickened by all the "stuff" I have accumulated - makeup, jewelry, clothing...most of it stuff that I only used a few times or bought on impulse. Maybe I'll have a yard sale... hehe
