Joys of Frugal Life - My top 10 frugal joys
Dawn over at Frugal for Life has a great reminder of why we do what we do - living a frugal life. So I thought I would leave my 2 cents and tell you my top 10 reasons why I try to be as frugal as I can.
- The more I save, the more I can stay home with my kids.
- If I save money elsewhere, I can eat out and not feel guilty.
- It’s simply a sense of accomplishment to not spend more than $3.50 for a summer outfit and $4.50 for a winter outfit for my kids.
- I spend way too much money traveling to see family. I have to find the $ somewhere.
- I like to challenge myself to spending less than 50% on groceries and watch the cashier gasp with surprise.
- I love to share with others ways to save $.
- Saving time allows me to spend it with my kids.
- I love getting expensive clothes for really cheap.
- I save money to pay cash for Christmas.
- I love my high speed Internet.

I love to watch how much I can buy with so little money at the checkout. I love coupons too especially when I end up only spending a few cents when I should’ve paid many bucks. Recently went with some free coupons and the only thing I paid for was the bread. I had milk, yogurts and a few other things and the lady at the register said, “Too bad you don’t have one for the bread. You wouldn’t have to pay for anything.”

It’s like the ultimate high to know you got a great deal on something.
