Becoming Frugal

In my pursuit of all things frugal and becoming a better steward over what God places in my hands, I have done a couple of things already.

• Gave myself a pedicure....for free.  (saved $30)
• Colored my own hair.  (saved $80)
• Minimized my home phone bill.  (saved $45)
• Traded Directv for Netflix.  $8.99/month instead of $89.99/month
• Started clipping coupons and comparison shopping.  (I haven't actually used my coupons yet, but I will)

Now, don't get me wrong.  I LOVE a good pedicure. I may reward myself occasionally.

And my hair, ....we'll see.

A couple of friends are trying to get me to make my own laundry detergent.  I'm considering.  But oh, how I love the smell of Gain.  Maybe I'm a laundry detergent snob.

I will leave you tonight with a few inexpensive meal ideas........
