Offbeat Frugality…

OK, OK, so the last money saving article I read wasn’t exactly helpful and I was a bit snarky in my comments about it soooo…

I decided to share an article from WalletPop to make up for it. Aaron Crowe wrote about 10 offbeat ways to be frugal and *gasp*, I liked it. Some suggestions were actually helpful! I particularly liked the way he said, ‘frugal is still the new black.’

That’s right folks, he said we’re cool.

Check out the article here.

Shopping by Habit…

I’ve wanted new couches for a couple years but since we decided to reduce our debt, saving for couches was put on the back burner. Even though I knew we wouldn’t be buying them, every week I’d look through the Sunday furniture ads and gaze adoringly at the beautiful sofa sets.

A month or so ago, we were given a great set of couches in exchange for some manual labor, yet…

I caught myself looking at furniture ads in this Sunday’s paper.

I love our couches. I don’t want new ones… so why am I looking at advertisements?

It has me thinking, how much of our shopping/spending patterns are habitual?

Am I just a crazy Type A personality with deeply ingrained habits? Or do find yourself doing the same thing?
