BellaOnline Forums Money Frugal Living What is your most useful frugal tip?

Along some of these lines, I did write an article about the difference between buying cheap and being thrifty here: Beware of False Thrift.

Basically, buy GOOD goods, durable goods, things you can use to death, mend and reuse for a long, productive life. What's nice is that often these excellent goods are handcrafted treasures you can really enjoy owning.

Hi All,

I thought 'my' idea which I learnt from my gran who taught my Mom was an original one! Imagine my surprise of seeing that scene in Coyote Ugly DVD when she keeps a roll of money in the freezer (which in turn gets stolen) so it certainly is not an unusual place or way to keep money or be frugal or save your bucks.

My best frugal living tip is to buy, make, keep, use, have and etc. ENOUGH. More than this is too much and clutters up your life. Of course this is when any of these actions are in your control.

When there isn't enough around for ENOUGH in your life, keep at it as there is so much time and resources wasted on trying to find and get enough that is too sad for words when you see it or think about it all.

Well there we are then.

Smiling say cheers
