How Frugal are you?

What's something you do to make or save a few extra buck that may be considered a bit more extreme or over the top?

I started the Save A Wild Buck Society. "Let the fallow deer run free!" say I.

SAWBS needs new members. I don't know why, but most of the members who joined when the advertising material (Join to save a few bucks) went out subsequently cancelled their membership...

A kindergarten teacher spent a few minutes each morning teaching a new word to her class.
She would tell the class the word and its meaning, then ask them to come up with a few sentences that included the word for the day.

One day, the teacher said that the word for the day was "frugal."
She explained that frugal had to do with saving, and a frugal person is one who saves.
She then asked the class to come up with a sentence for the word.
The class seemed kind of stumped, and sat there in silence for a few seconds until one little girl raised her hand.
Instead of just a sentence, she came up with a little story:

"There once was a princess who was stuck in a tall tower.
There was a spell on all of the doors, so she couldn’t get out.
One day, she heard a young prince who was walking by and singing.
The princess called out of the tower, 'Frugal me! Frugal me!'
So, the prince frugaled her and they lived happily ever after."

Extreme is in the eye of the beholder.

Some people I've worked with think owning no credit cards and staying out of debt, not taking overseas holidays, saving something from my pay (no matter how big or small) every fortnight, and ignoring keeping up with Kardashians in a fashion sense is extreme.

If that's extreme I've lived it for decades...and still managed to be happy..

Wow.  That's pretty frugal.

That means you haven't bought a stamp since 1990 when they brought in self-adhesive ones
