The first of February, in my quest to be frugal, I told you, Dear Readers, of my newest experiment: to put no more than $50.00 on my credit card the entire month of February. One more day of the month to go, this being leap year and guess what? I did it. I broke down mid-month and purchased a set of flame less candles from QVC. I HAD to use a credit card. That was $32.00 with shipping. That is all I put on my credit card and I am very proud of myself. If I didn't have the cash for it I didn't buy it even though I could always write a check, I found myself thinking "Do you really, really need this?" And, you know what? I really didn't. I am trying to be frugal.
Some day soon I might splurge on silly things or a nice lunch or a new pair of shoes. Maybe not the shoes because I am embarrassed to admit this but I counted the other day and I own 52 pair of shoes. My weakness. I love them. I am learning to be frugal. Being on a retired/fixed income forces me to conserve, rethink buying something and re-purposing what I do have.
In future posts there will be some DIYs. I think that will be fun. So tune in, folks, because we all might learn something new.
