My favorite things to do are remember how much I need to work for it, I put a limit of $50 on my card so if I buy something that’s over it, I have to go and disable the limit, which gives me some time to think, “I need to turn off my limit for this, that’s a lot” and sometimes I change my mind. One of my biggest financial weaknesses is GFuel. It’s soo good, but it is an expensive habit. I once ended up with two tubs, powder packets, and a cup. That’s when I knew that this was becoming a bit of a problem. Luckily, I found this article a few months ago, read it, and lived it. Since then, I haven’t spent a single dollar on GFuel. I cut down on it, so I’ve been drinking less of it, which not only is good for my health, but it also makes it last a lot longer.

In reply to Cara @ Fashionably Frugal. That's awesome Cara! I would like to try sewing my own clothes, but I haven't really gotten into it yet.

I really loved reading these, I am going to have to try wrapping up my card with a note, that is great!
I always see if a family member is getting rid of something before I buy it. I needed a clothesline for my yard and was talking with my nephew about building me one, when my parents said that someone had just given them two clothesline posts for free.
I always try to find a family member to trade with or build something for me for cheap before going to the store, I even learned how to sew my own clothes since I am such a cheapskate (except now when people ask me where I bought something I have to say “the fabric store”).

Fantastic advice. Definitely agree with not going shopping. When I grocery shop I make sure I’ve eaten first, you’re more likely to buy food if you are hungry, then shop to the recipe and try to go on my own.

In reply to Kathy. Williams. Thanks for your comment Kathy! I'm not sure we have metro in our area. We live in a really rural area so it's hard to find phones that give good service.

It’s refreshing to find people who live on a budget take advantage of things that are free they’re still satisfied with the blessings that God gives us. What I would encourage you to do once in awhile to hit a few garage sales pick up all those little odd things for the house but you don’t have like wine glasses since so many people enjoy buying so much that they never use myself included sometimes so I will be watching you and your posts and I subscribed since I’m retired living on 1300 a month but I’m single and a Florida manufactured home community has so many such as the pool and the ocean I could keep very busy and very little and also my scrapbooking fills in the blanks when I need something to do I would encourage you though to check out Metro for your phones if you happen to get it in your area they have very inexpensive phones at like $30 a month and that blessed me incredibly
