Okay, frugality has gone to far in this case!

I think is novelity or rare example of patience and determination or devotion to a cost to made something rememberable and special . Maybe these people are people who like to recycle , i seen pictures of houses and huts being made by bottle glasses and even toys being made by recycling other toys.Nowsdays frugality can means not wasthing money and recycling , one man's rubbish can be another man's treasure.

Wow. That's actually lovely. I don't think I could have saved that many though. I'd be like, it's five years and I can't stand this mess in my house anymore! Even if it only took up like three drawers, that is three drawers too many. I saw once a celebrity wear a dress made of Starburst wrappers. Her friend made it and she wanted to help the budding fashion designer, so she wore it to a premiere.

I agree 100% with the second poster. Life goes by so fast that nobody should wait to share their life with another. You don't know when its going to be your last day. I was in the hospital in 2010 and a young woman that was there for the same reason as me didn't survive. I felt so bad for her family. She had a young child, who would grow up differently because of what happened that day.

I am amazed that Australian lady made a wedding dress out of bread clips. She met her man in a Geography lesson years ago. She did brilliantly to save up for around ten years all those bread tags. She is fashion minded due to her interest and career. I think that is taking frugality too far. Good luck to her in the marriage of frugality.

I think I would have gotten married first and start collecting whatever later on. If you find the right guy, don`t let a couple of bread-tags missing get between you two. Honestly, I agree that that is going too far. And that is not, as I see it a way of being frugal. That is a show-off kind of person. If I want to be frugal, I go and get married to my loved one without any sort of wedding dress or marriage expenses. We wanted and needed to be frugal when my girls got married. When my eldest got married, we had a huge barbecue for the closest family and friends. I bought steaks 4 at a time, every time I went to the super, so as I wouldn`t notice. LOL. We all made salads and my daughters helped me sew the bride`s dress, my other daughter`s and my own. For my other daughter, we spend long hours making small sandwichs with yummy fillings I had made myself. It was a huge success.

You spend many, many hours a week on frugality. Whether it’s clipping coupons or re-working your household budget, frugality takes time. If you’re spending more time on being frugal than enjoying your family, you may want to re-evaluate the situation. Remember that your time is worth money! If you feel too busy and don’t have time to do the things that you want to do in life, you may be spending too much time on living frugally.

Not a bad looking dress, but she said it wasn't very comfortable! One thing nice about the whole thing is that her now husband was in agreement with her. That makes is special. I don't think she did it to be frugal, or did she? It seemed to me that it was more of a lark than a commitment to saving money.

Well she gets my vote 10 out of 10 for creativity, imagination and patience! I am damn sure that that dress is totally exclusive and there's only one in the world. I wonder how much the wedding bill came to and whether she was frugal in all the other wedding preparations. Takes the whole meaning out of her guests giving her a toast! Maybe all the guests got for the buffet was crumbs!

I agree..waiting 10 years to make a dress out of bread tags? Not very smart even if she wanted one of a kind....I would have had everyone saving them...not wasting time to spend with someone I loved.

This wedding dress is unique and I think it was a interesting story on top of it! I don't think this is over the top! Maybe for other people but it seems to fit this woman who made it! I will also say the bride and groom were patiant people to wait ten years before getting married!

That reminds me of someone who wore a brides dress made from trash bags. I've seen worse one guy on a show was so cheap he'd eat people's scraps just to not spend money. If he catches something I wouldn't feel sorry for him.
