They DO taste better when other people make them! Haha… I believe him! :)

Mine were very similar to yours, with a few added (like accidentally-on-purpose never getting around to getting cable again once we moved this past summer…lol) but it was fun to look around and see the ways that we don’t even REALIZE we are saving money just by habits we’ve become accustomed to. (My hubby would live on PB&J as well…but only if I make them. He says he can taste the love in them and they’re better than the ones he makes lol)

Remember that cheap pay-as-you-go flip phone I was using when I wrote that “Living in the Quieter Spots of Life” post? Still using it three and a half years later. It costs me $2 a day if I use it and nothing at all if I don’t. Since I work at home, I can go for weeks without using it for anything except a timepiece.

Oh, and my partner cuts his hair too — with a Flowbee! Details at:

We are still frugal-with-a-vegeance, and still entirely stupid about each other. <3

Little kids (and some big kids!) like a PBB done in this way:

Split a hot-dog roll.
Spread with peanut butter.
Put the banana in whole.
Pretend you’re eating a hot dog.

I bought six cloth napkins for a quarter at a rummage sale in 2004. Still using them, so I’m pretty sure they’re cheaper than paper towels since they take up practically no room in a load of laundry.
And hey J$, a frugal tip: If you use a paper towel to wipe up spilled water, don’t throw it away. Unfold it and put it on the counter to dry, and it will live to fight another day.

Hey, some of us women do our own hair, too!

I cut, color, and highlight (foil) my hair. I get supplies from a beauty supply store. Learned from a random stranger in a church bathroom about cutting a gypsy shag by flipping and twisting hair and lopping off the end.

Hate making and keeping appointments. Hate spending that RIDICULOUS $ to get my hair done. And I’ve gotten as many compliments on my hair when I do it as when a stylist does it. –LA

Woahhhh look at that system you’ve got sorted out there! Would love to see that working in real-time, haha…
